Captain Eberle is preparing today
and will have read before the regi-
ment his expression of qualification
over the showing made by the midship-
men and their team. He is also pre-
pairing for the commandant at West
Point an expression of congratulation
for the victors in the battle
Although tired and not over-enthus-
iasctic, becaues of the fact that they
had been bested. the regiment returned
from New York yesterday afternoon
only a short time ahead of their van
quished warriors.
Although the usual broom burning
and joyous parade was foregone, there
was extended to the returning team n
welcome which showed i'm a quiet way
that the regiment felt every man on
the team and squad had done his best
for his alma matters glory.
When the train bearing the team
and substitutes got into the West
Street Station shortly after 5 o'clock
the midshipmen were waiting for them
with station busses, from which the
horses had been unhitched. Because
of it being Sunday afternoon, no cheer
ing was done i'm Annapolis. The play
ers got into the busses and were rather
silently dragged through town to the
Naval Academy.
Here a big bonfire had been pre-
pared on the terrace i'm front of Ban
croft Hall and when the team arrived
in front of the building the fire was
started,and the cheer was given for the
returned heroes. The players. sore
and worn out physically, quickly scat
tered to their rooms, and this ended
| the celebration
The usual long rounds of cheers for
| individual members, and for the coach
es was dispensed with, but the gener-
al hope and quiet confidence that next
year will see the sailors return from
the game as conquerOrs was felt and

Saturday During Game.

Through the assistance and kind in.
terest of Mr.. c. L. Clemson, the local
manager of the c. & P. Telephone Co.
the Evening Capital was enabled tc
give excellent service during the prog.
ress of the Army-Navy game on Sat
urday afternoon

abling the stay-at-homes of the serv-
ice to receive the news over a special
telephone installed for the purpose
as quickly as it came into this office

THE ARMY-NA GAME
SEEN FROM GRAND STAND
How it Impressed a Former An
napolitan.
A STORY OF OLIPHANT.
Navy Played An Admirable Uphill
Fight Throughout.

The story Of the Army-Navy game is
tba story Of Oliphant, as wonderful a
football player as West Point ever
r~Ded out Army defeated the Navy
at the Polo Grounds by the score
of ia 10 0. but with the exception of
DifUhant the teams were fairly well
matched. The superiority of the Army
team may be measured by the superb
oritv Of Oliphant over any of the Navy
backs.
A remarkable player is this young
Cadet from Indiana. Stocky, built
from the ground up. about feet 9
inches tall, he embodies all these es-
-.ntials that make great offensive
player Quick as a tiger, swift as a
chectah strong as a bull and slippery
AS an eel, he played havoc with the
Navy line, bowling midshipmen over
like ten pins and slipping from their
grasp like a thing mysterious. He was
indeed the Nemesis of the Navy The
forty-two centimeter gun that pound
cred their armor and piled up point
after point until the Navy was buried
in hopeless defeat.
Oliphant kicked off for the Army, he
puuted for the Army and scored both
touehdowns for the Army and kicked
both goals.
In addition, he made numerous runs
ranging in length from FIVE to forty
wards. Exhaustless in energy, a verit-
dble human dynamo, he seemed never
to tire. While the Navy boys piled
up on top of him, several times he es-
caped unharmed. In the galaxy of
football stars that have worn the gray,
he will certainly be rated with DAILY

any but the best-spirited elevens. But
misfortune only seemed TO steel their
determination. If the first touchdown
the Navy's face. certainly the second
touchdown seemed to lock il. Every
one expected the middies to go to
pieces after that, and the soldier BOYS
to chalk up huge score.
But their expectations were not real
lied. The Navy team, with its back
to the wall, defeat staring it in the
face, fought on and on to an honorable
and creditable finish. II was a hard
game TO lose. The biggest throng that
probably ever saw an Army-Navy
game witnessed the contest of about
$4,000 strong
In this great multitude Annapoli-
tans were about as numerous as sun
flowers at the North Pole. The writer
sought in vain to find familiar faces
from the Ancient City or the service,
but with the exception of few iso-
lated cases, he looked in vain.

difficult of footing.> In spite of this
the teams managed to keep their feet
quite well and there were few slip
ups and practically no bad falls caus-
ed by muddy ground
The game was late in starting owing
to delay to the boat carrying the brig
ade of midshipmen. which was held, up
by fog, it was said.
President Wilson and party sat on
the Navy side during the first half of
the game, and on the Army side dur
ing the second half, thus reversing the
usual order adhered to in most of the
former games between the two gov
ernment academies.
Before the game the West Point Ca

usual snake dance. headed by the

clever work and sportsmanlike con-
duct when 1t played against Company
NJ last year. Next Monday. the
machine-gunners play against Paret

Baltimore.

A movement is on foot to recall the
evangelist of the Presbytery, the Rev.
Henry N. Faulconer, who has been con-
Quoting services here for the past
three weeks at the First Presbyterian
Church. and whose mission work here
was brought to a close last night
No such religious meetings have
been held in this city in its history.
The preacher is man inspired of God.
The community Just began to appreci-
ate him and his sermons as his work
was about ended. Last night the Pres
byterian Church was crowded. Every
seat, even in the choir and amen
Corner" was filed, and chairs had to
be brought in to place either side OF
the aisles.
The sermons of Evangelist FauIco-
uer are expositions of the Gospel, the
like of which is seldom heard. Yes
terday afternoon he preached to men
and boys and the church was crowded
The impression his sermon made was
far-reaching. The singing of Mr.. Ben
nett was also an inspiring feature OF
the service.
The theme of his sermon last night
will echo down the corridors of time
Evangelist Faulconer's work here is
so earnestly felt for. good that there is
a strong effort to have him continue
the work to spreal the Gospel and tc
glorify the Kingdom of God.
