ALUMNI ASSOCIATION.
Gives jolly Halloween Party at High
School.

By the dim light of jack o'lanterns,
bats. cats and owls fitted about the
shadowry cornfield, tastefully ar
ranged in the High School assembly
rooms Thursday night. Far up over
head among the shadows, witches
rode on their brJoms, while myster-
ious sheeted figures glided here and
there about the field.
These ghos tly visitors were not p6r-
tentious of national misfortune, nor
did they return to earth to avenge
personal wrongs, but according to
their long undisputed custom they
came to claim their annual tribute of
one night out of our mortal year.
One hundred weird personages were
in this phantom party, and in their
grave and stately (?) manner they
celebrated their gruesome orgies.
First came a dance en- masque. a
delightfully."- mysterious affair. Then.
after unmasking, all took part in the
customary Halloween stunts of bob
bing for apples, trying fortunes in
many new and intt resting ways and
doing many wonderful things blind
folded. The successful participants
carrying off we'll earned prizes.
Next on the program refreshments
consisting of delicious cream and
cake, were served, and their dancing
was resumed till the cock crow warn
ed all thaC they must fee from the
abode of mortals. All but two classes
of the Alumni Association were rep
resented and there were many invited
guests.
Everyone expressed appreciation of
the many pleasant features of the
entertainment and carried away
dainty souvenir to treasure till once
again the rollicking, jolly eve rolls
round.

"UNOFFICIALLY' NAVY
WINS FROM RESERVES
Teams Battled in a Sea of Mud
Yesterday Afternoon.
GAME HAD BEEN CALLED OFF.
But WesteFBers We're Here and it Vas
Decided to Get Some Practice at
Any Rate.
GAME HAD BEEN CALLED OFF

With the regular scheduled gam,
with the eleven Of the Western Re
serves, Of Ohio, today called off By
order of Superintendent Gibbons, Of
the Naval Academy, as an additiona
mark of respect to the late Vice
President James S. Sherman, whose
funeral was held this afternoon, the
Midshipmen's eleven and the Re
serves got together in an unofficial
contest yesterday afternoon, and the
Middies came out victors by the small
score of 2 to O.
The game was played in sea oe
mud, due to the heavy intermittent
rains during the day. Consequently
neither team was able to get off its
plays with any degree of success,
though if anything the elements fur
nished an advantage to the heavier
midshipmen. Though much out
weighed the Reserves have a fast
team, thoroughly drilled in the open
game and they had a crop of plays
that. on dry turf, they hoped to
uncork to the bewilderment of the
sailor lads.
Conditions as they existed, how
ever, cast a dampsr over everything,
and it was utterly useless to attempt
wide end running or fancy forward
passing The heavy Middies fur
nished an exhibition of old-fashioned
football, and while at times they
ploughed through the opposing line
for substantial gains, still their often
sive work was not of such consistency
as would enable them to roll up a
score. In fact the Westerners FREE
quently held them and forced kick.
Incidentally there was much kick
ing by bothteams, but because Of the
water and mud-soaked ball, most of
the punts wece short and were we'll
covered by the ends. If anything,
the visitors had little on the mid
dies in getting down the field under
kicks. Although the Middies were
able to gain considerable more ground
than their opponents. there was no
decided advantage in their offensive
strength, and the single touchdown
that decided the game, was largely
the result of fluky forward pass.
1t was registered within half a min
ute before the close of the first half.
The 0Iiddies mad worked the leather
we'll up toward the opposing line,
when Ingram made a toss of the
spheroid intended for Gilchrist. The
ball was batted about by three or four
players and fortunately it finally fell
into the arms Of Perry, who went
across the line for a touchdown and
Brown kicked goal. During the rest
of the game. neither team seriously
menaced its opponents goal line.

The situation however, is not as

petrated in some Of the other counties
of the State, and that the trouble is
purely an error rs the belief general,
advanced, and Il is greatly deplored
by the Republican Board of Election
Supervisors, of which Mr.. r. Thigh
man Brice, of the Third district. is

Steps were at once taken by MIR
Brice to have the ballots reprinted

completed iI ample time. Not only

II seemed rather significant TO
many Democrats, at first, however.
that the error in printing should have
occurred in connection with the names
of Wilson and Marshall, the Demo
cratic candidates. The mistake in
ques stion is the printing Of an addi-
tiouai line and box, for the "X"
mark. just above the names of Wilson
laws provide that there shall be no
blank spaces or boxes at all on the
official ballots.
The discovery of the error caused a
big furry among Democrats and Re
publicans alike, for a time. When
told Of it President Brice expressed
the greatest regret, referring par
ticularly to the fact that il would
probably cast reflection on the new
Republican Board of Supervisors.
