 Renewed after a lapse of three wears occasioned by entry of the Uni tod States into the world war, the contest lost none of it's pcmp and ceremony. The commanders in chief of the two services were in their boxes. admirals rubbed shoulders with generals, congressman and d;nlomats vied with one another for front row seats and fair women with o,,t number viewed the spectacle.
 And to their credit be it said that although the game began in rain and ended in a fog which at times hid nunts from view there was not de- serter among the 45,000 spectators. It was an ugly day, mates" as ore middy confided to his neighbor but perhaps the fog and rain served only

 Long before the gates were thrown open at Il a. m., thousands had reached the grounds. By 1 o'clock the stands were we'll filled.
 Pershing There.
 Half an hour later came the sound of martial music. Through the gate marching briskly into Annapolis ter- ritory came company after company of gray coated cadets, the West Point colors proudly waving in their midst They had hardly encircled the field and taken their seats when the An napolis forces swept on to the field, marching as snappy as their land lubber rivals. Granted the place of honor was the veteran of many a salty sea-the Annapolis Goat-blue blanketed and straining at his leash. Then the two teams dashed on to the fields The stands, surging bands of blue and grey, rose and cheered. And the cheering did not cease for an instant Whatever way went the tide of battle, cadets and middies roared encouragement or praise to their brothers on the field.
 -,., They passed the first two quarters toll oe +o { Annapolis. In the intermission the spectacle took on a new interest for the spectators. When Secretary Dan- iels and Secretary Baker advanced from their boxes to mid-field, there to clasp hands it was seen that Gen. eral Pershing strode to one side of his chief and General March on the other.
 The greetings was brief, but the army men losers in the first half as in the second, advanced to the havy's side for few minutes to tender their congratulations to the winner. 1t was in this spirit that the game was played.
 Then came the roar of the field piece with which the army announced the beginning of each period and 22 mud-besmeared figures trotted on to the field once more to renew the struggle.
 Two more periods of hard bucking and harder tackling; another moment of joy for the navy when King again kicked far and straight and then tie final blast of the whistle.
 King Is Hero.
 That blast turned square of blue into a cascade of gold. Rising as orc man, the middies hurled their gold ,r megaphones on to the field of victc y There was scramble, rush to the colors and a long column of blue clad figures passed in triumph under the army's goal. As the last spectator left the grounds he saw clinging to the plnnacle of one post young midsAip- man waving banner of blue anc gold. ~
 The navy showed it's superiorit, al most from the kickoff.
 F, King stood out easily as the hero ot the battle, because of his two goals, but Fullback Clark, Halfback: Cruise and Benoist, Quarterbacl hoehler and Captain Ewin played { great game, all of them making splendid gains when called upon te carry the ball.
 The only department of the gam, In which the army showed to advan tage was in bunting. Acting Cap tam McQuarriess kicks as a rule out dlstancing those of Clark. Green Blake and Wilhide were the stars ol the army team.
 There was noticeable absence o open play. Only four forward passe were were tried in the game and all failed What end running there was resulted In only short gains.
