GARRISON CONGRATULATES
THE VICTORIOUS CADETS
Also Praises the Fine Spirit Shown
by Defeated Navy Foot
Ball Team.

Hearty congratulations to the members
OF the West Point foot ball team for their
victory over the Naval Academy team are
extended by Secretary Garrison in a tele-
gram to Col. c. P. Townsley, superin-
tendent Of the Military Academy.
Il congratulate the foot ball team and
those who worked so faithfully and skill
fully to bring it to victory" said the Sec
rotary OF War, "and congratulate the
Corps Of Cadets. whose representative the
team was. 1t was an inspiring exhibition
Of those manly qualities which are neces-
sary to success in all walks of life-un-
daunted courage, intelligent direction and
unwearying endurance. While it is true
that these essential qualities were in this
instance displayed in game. that does
not detract from the comforting thought
that our young men possess them in such
high degree, and that they are present
and available in any larger field of en-
deavor.
Your opponents were worthy of you,
and exhibited qualities similar to those
shown by you. The fine spirit displayed
by the Navy in defeat was, in it's way.
as worthy Of commentator as the work
OF the victors.
Our people must feel a deep and abid-
ing pride and confidence in the oncoming
officers OF their army and their navy"

statistics. expert opinions and the re-
suits of the system itself; results that
are apparent to every one who cares

pose are equally definite and specific:
not theoretical reforms. although
based on irrefutablc logic. but changes
that have been tried and found to pro-
