TO CHANGE FLAG AWARD.
Excellence in Athletics viii be EIimi.
mated in Annual Competition
Among The MILDLY Brigade.

Evidently believing that the an
pal competition among the several
companies of the brigade of midship.
men for the flag, or the honor of car
rying the brigade "colors" for the
year, should be governed almost ex-
clusively by efficiency in the profess
sional branches. Capt. John H. Glib
bons, superintendent Of the Academy,
today prepared an order which will be
promulgated before the brigade,
notifying the middies of a radical
change to be enacted this year.
In other awards the contest will be
based upon the award of points fer
those elements of the competition,
envolving in the perfection of profes-
sional duties, namely, infantry, ar
tillery, seamsnship, target practice
sailing and rowing. Efficiency in
fencing, wrestling and few minor
sports will be included.
The order will state that excellence
in athletics will be made an entirely
separate competition among the sew
eral companies for which q trophy
selected by the athl stic association,
will be presented to the successful
company.
