tho midshipmen. With a record for
the season that did not compare as
| favorably as that OF the Army, and
with the prevailing feeling that thu
Army had the advantage. the midship-
men battled vallantly even during the
moments when the tide OF the struggle
was going against them.

the midshipmen rendered new re-
portiore of songs In a way that kep,

The army cadets also distinguished
themselves by their vocal efforts.
At the close of the game the gray
rad cadets sat and watched their
victorious brothers invade the gridiron
