reported that il considered the Pal
ace theatre in Annapolis perfect
death-trap," in case of fire, there be-
ing but one exit, which was partially
obstructed. 1t recommended immedi-
ate action in the matter 1t also re-
ported that the Annapolis Grammar
School building should be provided
with fire escape or outside covered
stairway The present condition it
said, would make ii most dangerous if
fire broke out.
The County Home was highly
praised, and an inmate quoted who
said that he would as lief be there as
at the Emerson" The finances of the
Treasurer's Office were found correct,
but ii was stated that there were un-
collected taxes for as far back as 1913.

Annapolis boys were killed. but there
was nothing for him to do but to keep
on going" He writes that his broth
er Albert is all right, and that he
never even got scratch, and he con-
siders himself lucky boy" He said
there were few boys from Annapolis

he did not see how the war could last
much longer. His company captured

PITT. GAME WOULD
MAKE NAVY HAPPY
The Whole Academy Contingent
Would Be Glad For A Chance
To Redeem Season
HOW THE MATTER STANDS

The prospect of a football game
here. on November 80 or December z,
between the elevens of the Naval Acad-
erny and University of Pittsburgh, has
created a tremendous interest gen.
orally, on account of its significance
as an athletic event, while the midship-
men are delighted with the chance to
give the team another game against an
eleven of high calibre. In view of the
close contest against the Great Lakes
Saturday. and the unsatisfactory and
fiuky ending of that game, the mid
shipmen feel that their team should
hardly be rated by that one game, and
are happy at the chance of another
test. though the game is by no means
certain.
When the last whistle blew Satur-
day, the midshipmen and those con-
nected with the management of ath-
letics at the Naval Academy had no
other idea but what the season of 1918
had closed. Now, they will rest for a
day or two, but will jump back into
the game no later than Wednesday If
there is reasonable prospect of an
other contest The squad is in excel
lent condition. Scaffe was the only
casualty of Saturdays game. He had
badly twisted ankle in the second
quarter, but pluckily returned to the
game in the second half He will be
all right with rest of day or so
more
Rear Admiral Edward Eberle was
called up on Saturday by represen-
tative of the War Work Campaign
Committee, and asked if he would per-
nit the midshipmen to play Pittsburgh
in New York on November 30 or De-
cember Z. Admiral Eberle has refused
approval of any plan for the midship-
men to leave Annapolis this year, as
so much time has already been lost on
account of the influenza, and the
course is still contracted by one year
necessitating extra work. However
he suggested that the game could be
played at the Naval Academy. 1t is al
so proposed that an admission charge
be made for the first time in the his
tory of the Academy.
This proposition is being considered
by the War Work Committee, and, pre-
sumably, transmitted to the authorities
at the University of Pittsburgh 1t is
probable that nearly 10000 persons
could see the game in some fashion al
the Naval Academy The permanent
stand seats 1900. and temporary
stands could be arranged for several
thousand more, while the rest would
have standing room only. There is
not the slightest doubt that every
available place to see the game would
be taken up by visitors from Balti
more, Washington and other nearby
points, as well as the local contingent
AS an athletic event alone the game
would excite tremendous interest The
midshipmen's showing against Greai
Lakes, the overwhelmers of Rutgers
stamps them as worthy foes for any
team, and they would go into the gam,
to make a desperate effort to retriev,
the season. On the other hand, vic
tory by Pittsburgh would stamp it a.
unquestionably the premier colleg,
team in the country this year. There
fore, both teams would have a suffi
cient incentive to bring out the best il
them
