ANNAPOLIS, Mo-, Sept. 3O.-A
powerful, swashbuckling crew of
perspiration- -drenched Middies sue
cessfully launched their 1899 grid
iron campaign this afternoon, but
only after a brilliant fourth-period
rally that netted 10 points and
threatened to blow a stubborn band
Of William and Mary athletes to all
points of the compass.
Held on even terms throughout
the first half and through most of
the third period, the embryonic ad-
mirals finally hoisted full canvas
and swamped the green -shirted vis-
itors under tidal wave of 11th-hour
touchdowns to win by a 31-6 count.
But don't underestimate the team
that Carl Voyles placed on the field
in a vain attempt to mar the Mid
dies inaugural. 1t was big, fast and
powerful. It had substitutes, too,
but not as many as Navy. and in
the final analysis the reserves had
a husky voice in deciding the ISSUE
Navy Finally Goes to Town.
A throng of $4,000 fans saw Nays
last and finest backfield. comprised
Of Bob Leonard. Ralph Boyer, Ever
EFT Malcolm and Charley Beers, whip
through the Indians with gale-like
fury to turn a close battle into a
rout. Paving the way was fast, ag-
gressive line that hurled back VIII
liam and Marys forwards and tore
huge gaps in the line for fast
stepping carriers.
1t was thrilling to Navy support
ers to see their favorites surging for
ward to victory, but a bit chilling
early in the game when the Indians
pulled couple of tricks froc1 their
plentiful supply and thrust danger
ously close to the home goal line.
Biggest thrill of the afternoon was
Harold Burchfield's 54-yard run for
the tying touchdown in the second
period.
The fleet fullback galloped around
right end behind perfect screen
OF interference and raced down the
sidelines to pay dirt. The last OBJ
stacle barring his path to the goal
line-sturdy Emmett Wood, Nays
safety man-was be vled over by
Ben Simpson. completing the best
bit of team blocking committed dur
ing the fray.
Middies Make Long Drive
A tumble paved the way for
Navy's initial score after the Indians
held for downs on their 8. Simpson
lost the ball on his "a, and on the
first play Earl Rowse, rookie half
back. broke through inside left
tackle, sidestepped Hollingswortn,
and romped "a yards for the score.
Woods placement was low.
Navy marched rs yards for its
next touchdown, after an inter-
cepted pass and subsequent William
and Mary punt forced Wood to kick
out of danger from behind his goal
line. Navy regained possession of
the ball on it's "a, where it batted
down a pass on fourth down, and
with Yves Gebert leading the drive,
marched to the score. Whitehead's
placement was blocked.

Furman Makes L HoI
For Army Till Game
Nearly Is Over
1877 Struggle Leaves
Cadets Questioned os
National Threat
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
WEST POINT, N. Y, Sept. 3d.
Army's football powerhouse had to
use all its volts today to turn back
the threat Of a sturdy Furman
eleven, and when dusk cloaked
Niche Stadium the 1000 specta-
tors who watched the Cadets turn
in a 16-to-7 victory weren't quite
sure whether Army is the national
threat 1t is painted or whether Fur
man was a sleeper.
The latter idea predominated,
however, as the Southerners, with
a bevy of fine backs and con-
crete line, carried the fight to the
soldiers a goodly share of the time
and saw drive after drive of their
own fade when pay dirt loomed,
the threats often killed by their
own misplays.
Playing alert, aggressive ball and
showing a mechanical perfection on
of1ense, "Furman kept the hearts
of the 1000 in their throats until
the last IS seconds, when a final
touchdown clinched the issue.
The other scores all came in
the second quarter. Late in the
first period Army, with some sharp
running by Jere Maupin, drove to
the Furman four
Maupin Dives for Touchdown.
On the second play of the sec
ond period. Maupin dove over for
a touchdown and Art Frontczak
place-kicked the extra point. Short

Frontczak dropped back to the Is

give the Cadets a 10-to-0 edge.
Late in the same period Furman
finally cashed in on its efforts.

fair catch on the Furman 40. He
was hit and the penalty against

The third period saw dog fight
with Army pushing to the Fur
man 5-yard line as the period
ended. They got no further as the
fourth quarter started and Furman
finally took the ball on downs on
its 13.
Late in the period Army had
taken the ball in midfield on downs
and John Hatch started pitching
and running. The drive apparently
was halted on Furman's 4. but
on the fourth down Hatch shot a
pass to Bill Mullin in a corner of
the end zone. Mullins place-kick
was wide.

PUBLIC UTILITY DISTRICT
CONTRACTS FOR POWER

Public Utility District No. OF
Klickitat county, Washington last
week contracted for no less than 1900
kilowatts of Bonneville power, first
delivery to be made at Glenwood
| Washington, within tour months.
The contract, to run for five years
was signed by Bonneville Power Ad-
ministrator Paul ]. Raver, and NJ. A.

triet, after conference at Golden
dale, Washington.
THE districts first customers, Col
Inns said, would be the Klickitat coun-
ty commissioners, who plan to install
a large rock crusher at Glenwood re-
curing 100 kilowatts of power.
Other deliveries of power called for
in contract included $50 kilowatts at
Gilmer, Washington, and at least
1850 at Klickitat, Washington. These
deliveries will follow closely upon
that to be made at Glenwood.
Raver said the signing of the Bon4
neville contract would permit the ut

TUBERCULOSIS DEATHS
AT LOWEST POINT IN 1888

In discussing Tie 1mpoI Lance OF
Christmas seals, Mrs. Bethesda BeslS
Buchanan of Seattle, executive secre-
tary of the Washington tuberculosis
Association, which has sponsored the
state wide sale since 1910, calls at
tention to the apparent relationship
between the decrease Of deaths from
tuberculosis and the increase in the
seal sale returns.
Cuisines men have a CHART said
Mrs. Buchanan, "by which they gauge
their sales and profits, and to be sue
cessful the trend must be upward. Ev-
cry tuberculosis organization also has
gauge, the annual deaths, but sue.
cess here is measured by the down
ward trend. In Washington, this rec
ord shows that in 1888 deaths from
tuberculosis were 692, the lowest
ever reached in the state.
cit seems significant, she con-
Guided, "that as funds from the al
nual sale Of Christmas seals, which
finance the volunteer educational
program against tuberculosis, have in
creased, deaths from tuberculosis have
decreased. We have high hopes that
1889 will also show a downward
trend in deaths and that the seal sale
now in progress will exceed last year s
record, which early indicatio seem
to promise.
