ARMY CADETS OUT OF LUCK;
NO MONEY WON ON GAME

Up on the banks of the Hudson
there is jubilation among the ranks
of the cadets of the United States
Military Academy as a result OF
their winning games against the
Navy at football, but when the
GrayIegs think what might have
been" they are not so happy.
Prior to the 1922 contest the
cadets at West Point and the mid
shipmen at Annapolis raised pools
amounting to thousands of dollars
to wager on their elevens. Navy
won in 1919, 1920 and 1921, and
the West Pointers went back to
spend the winter with their cash
available sadly diminished.
Major-General Sladen, superin-
tendent of West Point, threw a
bomb among the cadets before the
1922 game, when he gave posi-
tive orders that no pool be raised
to cover the Navy money, and the
cadets came down to Philadelphia
and saw their mates take a STIR
ring game without any coin of the
realm backing their favorites.
West Point was ready to cover a
substantial sum; the Navy also
had the goods" but General Slad-
en- held the whip hand, and the
cadets suffered financially.
