CAPTAIN ELECTED AND
MANY DEVELOP CLASS

Boxing has taken a firm grip on the
midshipmen at the Naval Academy and
Edwin Wright Schell, OF Mount Pleas
ant, Iowa, has been elected captain of
the team, which is tutored by Spike"
Webb. Schell, who is 20 years old and
middleweight OF the bearcat order.
has the distinction of being the first
man to lead a squad of nit men at the
Academy.
Webb is enthusiastic about his team
He has as men working out with the
gloves and it is the hope OF each OF
those candidates that West Point WI
take UP the game and arrange FOR a
dual meet. That such an event would
be wonderfully attractive there is not
the slightest doubt. Indeed. in course
of time it might even rival the Army
Navy football struggle, because every
red-blooded man-and the Army and
Navy are full of just such aggressive
Americans-would be keen for a real
battle between the two arms OF Uncle
Sans fighting service.
With the natural pepper furnished
by Webb the Navy should turn out

are spirited high-strung athletes, and
the ring sport should make a strong
appeal to them. And now that each
student must pass certain require
ments in boxing before he is passed
along out into the world to become an
Admiral there Is a splendid reason for
believing that once Webb gets his
branch of sport thoroughly organized
the sailors will be heard from
There will be a test of their skill

tertained at the Naval Academy. Penn

1t is unnecessary to mention that un-
der Webb the Middies will gain just
what Uncle Sam desires each of his
wards to possess - aggressiveness.
Spike" knows only one order in box
ing and it is Forward march."
Some Of the generals who noted the
spirit of the drafted men remarked
that boxing had done much for the
army sent TO fight the Huns. They
found the sport developed the aggres
sive spirit and remarked that no army
could win by defensive tactics
Strange to say. it is the European
idea that defensive boxing is skill. In
a measure .it is, but the offensive al
ways counts in the end and all Ameri-
cans are taught to carry the fight to
the other fellow.

ed by the association. In explanation of
our protest we had olir team lined up
to meet the b Il Ms, but mt the last
moment, they induced two Of our players
to play for them By giving them soft
jobs at the Smelter. This was in direct
violation of the association rules and we
objected on the grounds that they did
not have their players registered with
the association in accordance with the
rules. We, therefore, protested, but il
order not to disappoint those who had
come to the game, we played with two
men short, and lest ) to 1.
"A meeting was then called to con
slider the protest. but as Alex Melon
aid, manager Of the B & Ms, refused
to entertain the protest, the result was
that the Uniteds were eliminated from
the competition without any considera-
ton, and it was decided that the Lehigh
and B & III teams play final game for
the cup The only reason we see for
this action is that both teams felt sure
of winning the cup, by eliminating the
Uniteds.
up to the present time no deciding
game has been played and we are at a
loss to understand how the B & Ms
came into possession of the cup. Ac
cording to Mr.. Handler of the Standard
Furniture company the cup was turned
over on demand by the B & Ms and by
similar process of elimination as used
| against the Uniteds, the Lehigh team
was discarded and the cup claimed by
the B & Ms.
I'VE do not intend this letter as a
challenge to the B & Ms as we absolute
ly refuse to 60 on any field against
them until we have satisfactory ex-
planation Of what has happened. We
can put team on the field to beat the
B & Ms at any time, but until they
shall play according to the rules Of the
game and that some responsible party,
not Alex Mcdonald, shall have charge
Of the game, shall we consider it.
'aThe Uniteds defeated Lehigh at Belt
for the championship Of the state, and
this we retain until We are challenged
and defeated in the proper manner.
Ten games we played against the b
& Ms and seven times they were de-
feated. Twice they tied and they had
one victory. Not a bad record for the
Uniteds After playing Lehigh to tie
twice at Lehigh we defeated them at
Belt by goals to i.
taThus. in closing, having stated the
true facts of the case, can any fair
minded sportsman Justify the p & Ms in
their claim for the cup and championship
of the state?"

Dear Sir-Reading in your issue of
the 18th an account of the B & M As
soclation Football team entitled, "Cham,-
pions of Montana" we are prompted ia
the interests of fair play to give you
short summary of the part played in
the game by the Great Falls Uniteds.
''The Great Falls Uniteds, having the
interests of the game at heart, together
with the & NJ and Lehigh teams at
tempted to organize the Great Falls and
District Football Association with a
view to playing for cup donated by
the Standard Furniture company. Ow-
ing to the influenza epidemic the COM
petition was delayed and by the time the
first game was played at Lehigh, the B
& nj management had violated every
rule made to govern the competition,
and upon being called to account re-
fused to be governed by any association
In this way we were informed that the
B & M were running the competition,
and no one else had anything to say
about it

the B e nj were defeated by Lehigh,

Liberty Bell

The famous Liberty Bell was made in
London in 1852, and was ordered by the
pennsylvania Assembly for the state
mouse, then located in Philadelphia. 1t
was put in place the following year, but
on account of defect in sound it was
recast in Philadelphia.
When the Continental Congress on
July 4, t776, declared the independence
OF the American colonies from Great
Britain, the old beiIman in his enthusiasm
and ecstasy, according to the story, rang
the bell for two hours. Ii cracked July
9th, 1885, while telling during the funeral
Of John Marshall, chief justice of the
United States. The Bell contains the
following inscription: BY order of the
Assembly of the Province of PennsyI-
vania for the State House, in the City of
Philadelphia, 1852" Beneath is in
scribed: proclaim liberty throughout all
the land unto all the inhabitants thereof"

That old state house bell is silent,
flushed is now its eIam0rous tongue;
But the spirit it awakened
Still is living eyer young.
