June week activities reached their
peak today with a record crowd Of visi-
tors in attendance for the athletic
events and the unofficial announcement
Of the winning company in the COM
p~etitive infantry drills.
It appeared as If today's crowd in at
tendance for the track meet, base ball
game and lacrosse contest, would be the
largest to gather for the celebration
this year.
Practically every street for blocks
around the Academy "a lined with
cars early in the afternoon and as many
as could be accommodated were on the
institution grounds.
WashingtOnians Present.
Many Washingtonians taking advan-
tage of q half holiday from Offices
awaited themselves of the opportunity
to witness the hotly contested Mary
land-Navy lacrosse match on Warden
Field. Secretary of Navy Charles F.
Adams and his staff came over from
washington this morning.
BleacherS were erected on both sides
of the plat and the crowd In the Mary
land stands far outnumbered the Navy
rooterS. None seemed bothered by the
scorching beams of the afternoon sun.
Every inch Of seat room on the Mary
land side vas occupied. RooterS for
both teams were led by bands. the Navy
musicians in regulation uniform and
the Maryland OUTFIT in their colorful
regalia of orange and black; as many
Middies graced the opposition stands
as did their own, while the stick men
fought it out OH Worden Field. At the
other end of the reservation, Farragut
Field, things were throbbing with &C
tivity. The Middies and Ohio State in
the track meet were busily engaged
running Oh IA events in the space Of
two hours. Some of the events were on
two and three at a time, giving the
spectators as much trouble as q three
ring circus. A bevy Of camera men and
movie makers were on hand to see
Simpson. Ohio State. holder Of the
worlds record for the 100-yard dash,
tear through the tape in his usual form
just a few jumps ahead Of the Navy
men n his teammates.
Army Foe Missing.
Although their old foe, Army, was not
on hand to add zest to the contest,
Navy found that the opposition they
were meeting in Maryland, Notre Dame
and Ohio State was a plenty.
The thousands who came from Balti-
more and washington realized the fact
too. Altogether, 1t was estimated, there
were more than 10000 visitors in An
aapolis today. They ranged from middies
sweethearts. tourists, Baltimore once
workers. sobs to q contingent Of Filipino
sailors, from n of the b~attleships
anchored. in Severn Roads. The Fill
pinos, who loitered for q few minutes
at the track meet and found 1t I'M
Ineligible seemingly, took their stand
at the lacrosse game. Unable to decide
which side they should grace with their
presence. they stood midway in the
field and to all appearances were unable
also to decide just what was going on.
They Just stood and looked and took
their cues as far as getting excited was
concerned from either OF the two stands.
Advance styles Of the backless bath
ing suits seemed to have made their
way to Annapolis long before they
struck Broadway. They were here long
enough to cradle some modistes to turn
out half q hundred Summer spot dresses
fashioned after the same patterns.
These made their first appearance to-
day at h athletic events and were the
basis Of much comment.
Before the hop. the athletes who took
part in Spring SPORTS were rendered q
reception at the home of Rear Admiral
S. s. Robson, superintendent OF the
Naval Academy.
Graduating exercises viii be held on
Thursday at 1890 am. In Dahlgren
Hall. Secretary of the Navy Charles r.
Adams will confer the diplomas.
Huge "Auto Hotels" Planned.
