the States II is but an outcropping of
the same indomitable spirit that has led
these men from victory TO victory, wreath
ing their academies in laurels everlasting.
This spirit is the keynote Of the SER
vice teams. II does not exist outside Of
these two academies. Those who have
never worn the cadet gray or the MILDLY
blue cannot appreciate this, but II they
should once watch the Army's or the
Navy's team In action, the wonder would
be dispelled from their souls. Let the
doubters listen to the cheers wherewith
the West Pointers and the Middies IN
the stands urge their teams TO battle
their voices blend into something that dif-
fers from the ordinary college YELL
there's a subtle galvanism in them that
makes both the team and the spectator
feel that every man Is fighting almost as
hard as IL he were actually playing
During the Army-Navy game In 1903 some
one on the Army stand started the bat
tle-cry. Fight! Fight! Fight! and on
the moment the entire cadet corps TOOK
,p the slogan and throughout the rest oi
the game the vast amphitheatre rang
with the stirring words, telling those o''
the gridiron that four hundred men III
gray were struggling as fercely as the
eleven on the field. The West Pointer
and the MILDLY take pluck from no one
pluck is the cornerstone OF what the
academy builds UP from the crude frame
work of youth they bring when they are
appointed. Watch the face OF one OIL
these lads when they enter the game
next Saturday, II will be set, determined
full of purpose and alive with grit; he Is
there to uphold first of all his academy
honor and second, her prestige on the
gridiron, and, win or lose, to be gentle
man.
In the West Point Cemetery, a stone
throw from where George Custer sleeps
there is a green mound, marked ty a
plain granite headstone bearing the name
of Eugene Alexis Byrne. who died at
the Post in 1909. Late i'm October of that
year the Army team gave battle to Har-
ward Time and time again did Byrne at
left tackle meet Harvard's onslaughts
with a fury that amazed those he faced;
three times did five men in wedge forma-
ton endeavor TO crash past him. After
the third attack he lay still, his neck was
broken and the next morning, Sunday.
Just as the morning gun called the corps
10 the duties Of the Sabbath, his spirit
answered the call of the Great Captain,
and West Point bowed her head in grief.

and that the West Pointer smilingly re-
piled: "Id rather be a low-ranking
plebe at West Point than admiral of
your whole darned Navy" But there
was no sarcasm I'm the words Of either.
These two acaden les. the one, rug

looking the Hudson's broad sweep, the
other tucked away on an inlet of the
Chesapeake. have many traditions. in
alienable and unsullied. Priceless treas
lures are they. these ideals and notices,
and their sons guard them zealously.
In their sons keeping they have also
placed the spirit of their athletics. And
through this spirit these academies
have taught their young men to fight
their battles hard but fairly TO lose
them but offer no excuses, to win them
without boasting, and, above all, to
imbibe from competitive athletics some
of the attributes that so strongly make
for officers aad gentlemen.
And to the victors, the frantic horde
OF blue or gray that will rush on to
the field and howl exultantly. there
will be the added satisfaction that their
team won squarely, and to the van
quished there will be a need of con-
ISOLATION In knowing that their team
lost as men should lose without bitter
ness to its conquerors. Navy ten.
Army seven; so stands the record of
seventeen Army-Navy contests, clean
fought from beginning to end The
Army is frothing to make the score n
little more even and the Navy is avid
to make 1t the opposite.

The point OF view Of the motorman and

In one school, in a session at which

AN AMERICAN BRAGS.

James J. Hill, on the occasion OF his
seventy-ffth birthday, talked Of the mar
vellous speed OF American trains.
"Three men," he said. "a Frenchman,
an Englishman and an American, were
once praislng their respective railroads.
for an American will praise his railroads
abroad, though at home it's usually
different story.
"Well, the Englshman said:
"'Our express trains go so fast that
the telegraph poles along the line look
like high board fence
"Our rapides, said the Frenchmans
go so fast that the stations along tha
line seem continuous, like a city block
THE American puffed at his cigar
thoughtfully.
"'Once, on an American express, he;

He tried to accept defeat with

Mrs. Smythe called on friend. ex-

But the friend didn't ask her, and so Mrs.

FIVE AMERICANS IN
RUNNING FOR TITLE
Survive in Second Match Round of
Women's National Golf Cham
pionship at Wilmington.
MISS DODD STAR OF THE DAY

! Wilmington. Del, Oct. l5.-Good golf
on the part of the British invaders char
acterized the second match round for the
women's national championship. played
today at the Wilmington Country Club.
Miss MurieI Dodd, British and Can
adam champion: Miss Gladys Ravens
creft. British champion of 1911. and Miss
Mabel Harrison. holder of the Irish title,
are still among the survivors. the list of
whom now numbers only eight. To be
sure, either Miss Dodd or Miss Ravens
! croft must be eliminated before the final,
because they are both in the same half
of the draw. but even with this help the
chances of an American victory are any
thing but bright.
The two Canadians. Miss Florence Har-
vey and Miss Violet Pooley, were elm
mated today, the former by Miss Marion
Hollins, the metropolitan champion, and
the latter by Miss Dodd, but the back
bone of the British invasion is still as
strong as ever.
Five American women golfers are still
in the running, Mrs c. H. Vanderbeck.
of Philadelphia, who plays Miss Dodd to-
morrow; Miss Fanny Osgood, of Boston,
who meets Miss Ravenscroft; Miss Har-
riet Curtis, also Of Boston, who will op-
pose Miss Harrison, and Mrs. E. II. Fit
Ter of Philadelphia, who meets Miss
Hollins in the only all-American match
of the four.
Both Miss Dodd and Miss Ravenscroft
won today by playing good golf. and al
though the mistakes of their opponents
made the play seem one-sided, the two
English girls could hardly have been
beaten in any case. The little champion
played the better game OF the two. when
she beat Miss Pooley by up and 8 to play
Miss Ravenscroft in her match against
Miss Elaine Rosenthal, of Chicago, made
the first nine holes in forty-four strokes.
