NO GAME WITH SWARTHMORE
Quaker Eleven Finds il Too Great a
Task in View Of Other Big Con-
tests.

Swarthmore College, of Pennsyl-
vania, that won from the midshipmsn
on the gridiron this season, will not
meet the middies next season, despite
the fact that the Navy management
has asked the Garnet eleven for 8
date.
Nor will the Quakers play either
Yale, Harvard or Princeton all Of
which have invited the Pennsylva-
mans to take a place in their sched-
uIes.
While the Quaker football author
ties appreciate the honor that has
been conferred upon them, Coach
Brooke has made it clear that such a
schedule was impossible at this time,
for there would be too many hard
games, and the team could not dc
themselves justice in any of them by
deviatlng from the schedule of formel
years.
The game with Navy. which has
been a fixture for several years. viii

IMPORTANT DECISION.
NavaI Shore DaLy serviee Preseribel

Naval Shore DutY Service Prescribed.
An important decision was made
at the Navy Department last week
revoking general orders issued in 1902
which prescribed as sea service that
performed on shore in Cuba, Porto
Rico, the Hawaiian Islands, Guam,
the Samoan Islands. and on the Ash
attic station.
When this order was issued in 1902,
the conditions at those places were
sush as to make shore duty more or
less disagreeable. officers assigned
to such duty were generally, sepa-
rated from their families, for which
there were no cccmmodations.
For this reason additional pay was
provided, and in the records kept In
the Bureau of Navigation the service
was recorded as sea service.
There have been protests from navy
officers who were not on this duty
that this Interpretation for the pur-
pose of crediting sea service In the
Navy Register was not fair to those
officers who were actually at sea,
This view of the situation has been
adopted by the Navy Department
which has issued q general order,
revoking the order Of 1902.

REPORTS CHANGES IN
ACADEMY DISCIPLINE
Admiral Andrews, Chief Of Navi-
CATION Makes Comments.
DEMERlT SYSTEM REVISED.
Marks Credited Against ''Plebss" Net
10 be Counled in Final Roll for
4.Year Course.

Ar important statement regarding
innovations in the administration of
discipline at the Naval Academy is
made in the annual report Of Rear
Admiral Philip Andrews, chief Of the
Bureau Of Navigation Of the Navy
ID Department. just made public.
Rear Admiral Andrews points out
that heretofore for every offense,
trifiing or serious, a demerit mark
has been placed on the midshipman 5
record. which affects his standing
throughout his entire career.
There is, however, says Rear
Admiral Andrews, IAN inequality
among the first year midshlpmen. due
different age. experience and prep
aration, which makes il advisable not
to count the first years ccnduct rec
ord in making up the final merit for
the class after the four year course.
During the first year offenses com
mitted will be punished by depriva-
tion Of privileges. extra drill, etc.
incorrigible behavior will result
in dismissal. Dem srits will still be
given during this period as tempo
rary echo. and the limit allowed in
the year will be the same. but the
members of the class who keep with
in the limit will begin the second
year on an eqHal footing.
Each of the other three classes at
the Academy will in turn be held to
stricter accountability, as their long
er period at the Academy should
make thsm more reliable in personal
conduct Such an increasing stand
ard is not new feature, but the sue
cessive differences are to be made
greater than before.
While speaking of these changes,
the Bureau chief makes no mention Of
the fact that the present administra-
tion of the Academy has also revived
the old custom of confining midship-
men to prison ship. as further
punishment for breaking the rules Of
discipline. The captured Spanish
cruiser Reina Mercedes, official sta
tion ship Of the Academy, also is used
as the prison vessel, and for the past
month or more there have been up
wards of six midshipmen confined to
the ship at the same time. A squad
of seven missed seeing the Army
Navy football game because they
were "deing time" aboard ship.

NAVY WILL SIEzE PATENTS.
Expects to Exercise Freer Hand in
ApprOpriating Inventions.

The Navy Department expects to
exercise a freer hand in the future
in appropriating for government use
patent ideas of inventors who hither-
to have caused delays by withholding
the use Of device until the matter of
compensation should be determined.
In a report to the Secretary of
the Navy Harry w. Miller, solici-
tor to the department, says that a
recent decision by the Superior
Court, will have a greater effect than
was at first supposed in simplifying
the question of compensation. and
virtually gives the government the
right of eminent domain IN making
use Of a patent.
The court held that inasmuch as
the inventor or owner Of a patent has
a right to bring suit in the court of
claims for compensation, such inven-
tor or owner could not obtain an in
junction against the manufacture by a
contractor of patented article in
tended for government use.
The solicitor says the privilege
which that decision guarantees lis of
great value to the department in or
binary times and will save 1t, IN
times Of war, from annoyances of a
kind that have reflected discredit on
the patriotism Of some citizens in
times past.

SYRACUSE NOT TO ROW NAVY
Expense and Proximity Of POughkeepsis
Regatta The Reasons.

Syracuse and the Navy will not
row next spring, according to an an
nouncement made by Murray S. Sted-
man, graduate manager of athletics
at Syracuse.
Financial difficulties and the de-
sire to make the intercollegiate re-
gatta at Poughkeepsie on June 2l,
the chief aim of the Syracuse eight
next year led the governing body of
athletics at Syracuse TO come to the
decision not to row the midshipmen.
The Poughkeepsie regatta is to be
held earlier in 1918 than usual and
jim Ten Eyek, the Syracuse coach,
feels that the time left between the
only available date the middies had
open and the day for the big race at
Poughkeepsie left him too short a
period in which to get the crews in
condition for the latter race.
