This is certainly the conclusion we have come to after carefully reading during four years the numerous "specially prepared" volumes of balderdash passing incognito as text-books. .For this reason we have finally decided on a new -departure, in presenting a book which would be '4 'X able to stand on its own legs, as it were, without the support of 'H a quibbling, apologetic preface. Still 'this book has a purpose-a purpose which to many of us now is perhaps not even superficially apparent. Four years ago we made our appearance here on the eve of a great revolution. Everything was hanging in suspense, even the clock in the guard house stood still, waiting for a move which was sure to come. There were rumors, mutterings, vibrations, everything was a-quiver., Suddenly the storm broke-and-1904 was caught in the deluge. Of -those days much has been written, more spoken, but only 1904 knows the quantity of gray matter that was expended in thought. We were the victims both before and after. VV e were the ones who' were charged year after year by each graduating class to keep up the old spirit in the corps. Now we stand alone, our work.is about finished. And you ask the question: "Have we suc- fl-'fi Ei-59 S, Q p ceeded ?', Your answer is in the corps right now. The corridors of time are always open to the doubting. The comparison in some cases may be odious but surely convincing. To keep alive in our memory' those days of restraint and transition is the purpose of this book.' To some of us it will bring pleasant reminiscences made mellow by the magic touch of time-to others only grim reminders of toil and labor whose sting has been softened because they are part of the past. Our future is not a cloudless sky, but even if cloudy, we have the balm in knowing that at least a few of those fleecy clouds in that chimerical azure blue beyond must have a silver lining. Vvfe leave, hoping that the good-will and friendship existing between the different classes isras ripe and sincere as it has been pleasant to us. A ' II Perhaps as you turn these pages you will find many things omitted-pen haps many have been inserted that should have been omitted. However that may be, do not attribute it to the lack of material to work with, on one side, or to the absence of the Editors, blue pencil, on the other. Gur one aim has been to portray every scene as it actually existed and appealed to us. If this book succeeds in this, it will not grow yellow with age in vain. In conclusion, let it be understood that this bool: is not the Work of a few men. It would have had an untimely 'death but for the hearty co-operation of every member of the class of IQO4, to Whom all thanks are due. 1x2 X - v 1 o r . . iE'iCUMEfi Riga ARI!

This little sketch has neither of these purposes. It is simply ia brief recital of the incidents attending our passage as a class, through the Academy. As such we began our existence in June of the year nineteen hundred, but the real class existed long before, and it would indeed be interesting, if we had the time, space and facilities, to trace the individuals from the cradle until they became intrepid soldiers, with chins hidden in their collars and 1- shoulder blades grinding together. Should we look back we would probably find "Nap" Riley, the heavy-weight pride of the country, "jake" Dew, the ,reliance of the home fire department 3.

'Tis -to be feared that we miss much of the shocking and the interesting. If so, it is entirely through-policy. It was indeed a motley crew that entered the Academy under the sobriquet of "The Class of IQO4H-111116 plebes, Iuliets and, last but not least, one lonely "Sep," the last of his tribe. Most of us could probably have passed with credit a rigid examination on the works of Capt.

Every moment was occupied, from reveille to taps. It was a merry-go-round from morning till night, with plenty of extra rides for those who distinguished themselves sufficiently to attract attention. The "Keeley" cure, the first thing. in the morning 5 the double timing to the intoxicating music of the metronome 3 and after each meal, to assist digestion, drills- soirees we learned to call them afterwards, then explanations, written and re-written for the sole purpose of re-writing them again, and then in the evening, a little social call at the oflice, where we yvere given so much atten- tion that we decided to call oftener. And so every one looked forward with pleasure to camp. And it was well that we looked forward to it with pleasure, for there was none either in going or in having gone. fa CADET MESS, 1900 . There may be events in a cadetis life at the Academy, which have been so pleasant that he can never forget them. But the things which are perhaps most indelibly traced on his memory, are the happenings of those worst of night- mares, beast barracks ,and plebe camp. Can we ever forget the sort of dream we lived in, a dream broken only by sudden and rude awakenings. Can we ever forget the days when we had to get up before reveille to shave, or else go unshorn 3 those solemn night watches with burning tapers and crossed bayonets, over the silent body of a dead ratg and then the next day, with weeping and gnashing of teeth, performing that most touching of all ceremonies, a rat fun- eral? Can we ever forget that eternal sleepiness, the stolen naps in Fort Clin- ton, or in the barber's chair, under the hot, sun-drenched tent? Always in a hurry and yet always -late, always working madly and yet seemingly never 78 accomplishing anything, always in the wrong when' we would have sworn that we were in the right, smiled upon by the ladies-thus we called them in those primordial days, legislated by a kind but mistaken Congress, with the ad- vice and consent of the VV. C. T. U. Verily, we were the most puzzled and most unhappy of mortals. And yet in one sense, the only one, we were the happiest. Vtfe were '!Plebes" under the old regime, and with the passing of that old regime has passed all the excitement, all the necessity for good, clear grit, all the training given by those few strenuous weeks. In those days we looked upon a guard tour as a blessing from divine Prov- idence. Right smartly would we walk up and down our post, generally obey- 1 ff orders to "watch that squirrel on the other end", constantly on the alert, kee ing a, sharp lookout for all upper classmeng straining eye and ear for any indication of the enemy, imagining an Indian behind every tree, a Spaniard STADIUM-PAN AMERICAN EXPOSITION in every shadow, and more terrible still, yearlings everywhere. The silver- tongued speeches of "Fritz,' Singles, the flowery perorations of 'fThree-square" Meals, and the Herculean feats of the "D" Co. babies will never be forgotten. Andi how carefully did those of us in the runt companies avoid those little side shows on the flank, particularly "The Bowery" and "Paradise Alley? There was a slight respite when those darlings, "The Iulietsf' arrived on the scene. Only the old law 'in Economics can explain this change-concentration at one point necessarily produces distribution at another. And then came 'fTl1umina5 tion,', with all its trials and tribulations. Credit we received noneg now and then some "femme',-so we had learned to call them now-would say sweetly to her escort, "Is that a plebe?" and Htoute de suite" we would drown our sor- 79 RETURN FROM FURLOUGH, 1902 rows in a bucket of lemonade wishing the evening over that we might sleep.

The- Vrapid succession of events began to tell on us now. VVe were hardly in condi- tion to begin the winter's work, which we nevertheless welcomed, for the first 81 1 I and only time. A few of us went out to bone 'itoast' on the foot ball team. Many answered the call, but few were chosen. At last we played the Navy. Defeat had but one comfortg our own little "Dumpy" and old "Ambrosia" Finn played admirably. Early in the winter we had a class meeting, electing Atkins, President, and Campbell, Vice-President, and they served us faithfully, until all class organizations were proscribed by the famous "Golden Bull." At first "boning', was a pleasant change from. "bracing," but long before Christ- mas the novelty had worn off, and instead of sweeping clean, it looked as if C. Smith would make a clean sweep of us. As a result of the first skirmish with the Academic Board, we lost sixteen privates, all number four, rear rank. just about this time the Booze affair was brought to our attention by sev- eral of the yellow journals. They were soon scattering broadcast the most blood-curdling tales and denunciations. This resulted in the appointment of an Investigating Committee. One member especially took a keen delight in apply- ing to the witnesses the hardest names in his vocabulary. This man has since been convicted in a criminal trial for accepting bribes, and is no longer eligible to ofhce under the United States. Under pressure we had a meeting in the mess hall, where we passed a joint resolution to quit the practice of hazing, as far as the four classes assembled were concerned, Our pledge was incorporated in a report and presented to the Committee. From the result, this did not have a great effect. The findings of the Committee were 'fthat we were guilty of hazing, but not of murder." In February the first class graduated and we attended our first graduation parade in the snow. Tiff March we finally decided to inaugurate the President. Our walk through the streets of VVashington was what you might call delightful. The combination of dress hats and overcoats seemed to please the inhabitants better than it did us. The next day we took another stroll. Desiring to disguise ourselves and being quite cold, with a promise of rain, we left our overcoats behind. The promise, by the way, was well fulfilled. Cn our return we found excitement rather low, so a coup d'etat in the form of a "demonstration" was planned and remarkably well exe- cuted. As a result of an investigation, the area once more resounded to the pitter- patter of mearching feetg and nineteen-four did not fail to get honorable mention. Tl1iS WHS the time when Kingman and Pettis acquired their martial stride and "I-lumptyu Hunter developed that intense thirst which has ever since consumed him. And now we became yearlings. As a new camp was being constructed, we were domiciled in barracks. But the new "beasts" arrived shortly and chased us over to Camp "Slouchenberg,', where nightly we remained awake, playing on a foot tub to the tune of "Mosquito Parade." Here it was that 'fl-Iilarious 82 CAMP INSPECTION EQUITATION Hip" Robert began his famous career as a hoppoid, engaging himself to attend one hundred successive nights unless physically disabled. VVe were upheld by the thought of the Pan-American, kept constantly before us by the band, which seemed to have forgotten everything but "Put me off at Buffalo." They played at reveille, taps, parades, concerts and even at a funeral, either out of tune or out of time. Every one enjoyed it, even the Pan-handlers on the Midway. Buffalo 'Bill tried to get Moody for his .Rough Riders and "Tub" Wilsoii for the fat man from Mozambique. Both offers, however, were graceful-ly turned down. W'as ever so much crowded into such a short time: theatres, japanese village, Loop-de-Loop, Streets of Cairo, Moonlight on the Niagara, 2oth Cen- tury Dance and the greatlCasino hop-truly a hop, as it was impossible to dance. And then the sumptuous banquets at Statlers, three times a day, to the patriotic strains of "Dolly C-ray." If the temperance and Army Canteen ques- tion had come up during our stay, most of us would have been found "on the fencef' depending of course on the time of the day. After waiting three hours for "faked, Dew and "Bill" Copp' to break away from their "sweethearts," we left the Electric City with heartfelt thanks for the delightful reception and hospitality we had received. And now, once more, back to the mines, to toil and labor for 1.5 per day. This year we determined never again to be beaten by the Navy, and were not disappointed. The Iooth Night Entertainment reminded us that june and fur- lough were near. Then came the Centennial Celebration, which will long be re- membered by all who were present. And then "Fiurlough," preceded by the great furlough parade, led by Farnsworth, as Aphrodite. After depositing our ordnance property in a sloboon in the Sth Div., to be drawn again with interest in the shape of four and five, we started in search of adventure. VVe spent a very pleasant evening with "Dolly Vardon,"e and at the supper forgot tacs, tours and confmements. Copp was toast master but was unable to officiate, due to various causes. The time passed rapidly and pleasantly and before we were aware of it the end was looming large in our path. The last carousal at the Murray Hill showed that class spirit was not so much bosh after all. When we stepped off the ferry boat, a bunch of tacs was awaiting us. The usual inspection for contraband articles produced nothing new, all class rings having been left in safe keeping. We reached camp in time to miss the evening parade. The 'flfurlough hop" that night showed how fickle man can be. "Bob" Campbell forgot all his faithful promises of the last night at home, and Conger Pratt recognized a pair of blue eyes which he thought might in time develop. 84 It was indeed hard to buckle down to the old routine again after a taste of freedom, but this year there was a chance for Christmas leave. Philadelphia once more, with usual result-this was getting to be monotonous. Contrary to the usual custom, we lost four men in our second class year. After that, every one felt that it would not be his fault if he did not graduate. The class was again well represented in the Iooth Night play, "The Caprices of Cupid," with "Snitz,' Gruber as King Ping Pong in the title role, while Dew immortalized himself with his song, "Columbo.,' In the spring of IQO3, we visited New York twice, the hrst time to do a few "stunts" at the Military Tournament, travel- rxxling' on the good old ship "Pegasus," and the second, under the auspices of tie Drawing Department with the Art Museum as an object. f'Aunt Polly"' D1 iler spent all his time gazing upon ainude statue, just like some country bump- kin, while "Tom7' Gimperling discovereda new artist, who could use color better than his old friend Rumley. It was a relief to most of us to reach the end of our course in the school of profanity-there is no drawing in the first class course. In june, IQO3, we saw the graduation of the last of the classes who had acted as our preceptors in the elements of braceology. Our regret was very deep indeed, for our relations had always been the most cordial. Vile had been given to understand that first class camp was somewhat in the nature of a "soiree," but we found it far otherwise. The cavalry drills de- veloped -some "rare seats," "Bouly" Alley and "Loui', Reynolds especially dis- tinguishing themselves. "Liz" Scott came to the conclusion that "guidon" was the only place for him, while the Captain in charge of the Artillery drill gave us some ine exhibitions of the easiest way to dismount a horse. Cold Springs seemed 'to have quitea call as a summer resort, while over in "F" Company the nights were made hideous by "Dutch picnics" out in the Summer Garden. "No- sey" Cooper was caught playing golf in Hirtation, paying considerable attention to the manner of approaching. Especially memorable was the ride to Peekskill, in which we lost but one carbine, after a wild charge through three feet of water. Then came the trip to Stockbridge, with its cavalry hops and midnight suppers, at which "Generals only" were permitted to attend. Target practice- developed four sharpshooters and one marksman, not to mention the grand army of third class riflemen. And here is where we found our greatest hardship: As plebes, we cleaned any one's gun who was kind enough to notice us. But as first-class men, when we could have spent the entire afternoon in the arms of Morpheus, we found ourselves diligently smearing our dignified fingers with cosmic oil, pomade and all that other para- phernalia usually the property of plebes. Our 'expectations were not fulfilled and it was the plebes who slept. Through the efforts of "Hip" Robert and his 85 "spoonoid" crew, we succeeded in having another 'fllluminationf' "D" Co. "Re- treat" and the "FH Co. "Labyrinth" served us in spooniifg the fair sex and los- ing undesirable chaperones. And on the 23th we closed our last camp, with the usual ceremony of dragging half our wardrobe across the plain and scat- tering the other half between camp and barracks. Shortly after our arrival in barracks, our wandering attention was called to the fact that "Cadets will not be allowed to use tobacco? From time im- memorial had we been reminded of this fact, so no one could see the necessity of reading it again. But the next words, "except in barracks," explained the whole situation. For several days the law of supply and demand seemed to have gone out of business. The first of the trips arranged for the instruction of the class was to the Horse Show. "Humpty" Hunter, as usual, entertained us with classic poetry, while "lfVillie" Scott demonstrated the personal equation of "Liz" Scott. There was much disagreement whether to beat the Navy this year or wait until the next. But the result showed the unanimity of opinion. After New Yearis we decided to wear our class rings. "Martin Dooley" and others had been doing this by proxy for some time. All our spare time was taken up by lectures and insurance agents. The Iooth Night play was more successful than ever, 'owing to the artistic ability of several members of the class. W atervliet and Gettysburg both came and went, and graduation less than a hundred days off. Altogether this was the shortest year of all, and the most enjoyable, and as it drew to a close we found that the approaching separation 'was not unaccompanied by a tinge of sadness. Qui' stay at St. Louis was more than pleasant, its description we will leave for the succeeding classes. Everyone was glad to get back, however, for the eventful June 15. The graduation parade was-well what can it be called, impressive or de- pressing? VV' ith regret we took a last long look at' all those familiar scenes. What memories did they not all recall! It was indeedhard to part from all the pleasant associations and friends of those four years of never-ceasing labor. Time and again had we said, "Never again," but we experienced a very differ- ent feeling as we thought of never again assembling as a class after that last eventful evening, when we sang for the last time as cadets, the last strain to Army Blue' ' Now, fellows, we must say good-bye, We've stuck our four years through, Qui- future is a cloudless sky, VVe'll don the Army Blue. Army Blue, Army Blue, , Hurrah for the Army Blue! We'll bid farewell to Cadet gray And don the Army Blue-- 86 and with sorrowing hearts we Went our different ways some of us , never to meet again on this World's battlefield. Wliatever the future holds for us, be it fame or obscurity, our most cherished thoughts will always be of the Corps, its traditions, its glorious motto, "Duty, Honor, Countryi' and the good old Class of Nineteen Hundred and Four.

IQOID, I there might have been seen wending their way toward the Military Academy, a number of youths from every part of this broad land, 5, M, variously attired and differently formed, but of one mind and heart as to the way in which the Nation's Nursery should be run, and before each of whose T1'll11Cl,S eye was the banner with the strange C device, "Excelsior," Ah! VVhich of them 'then realized that for four 7 A long years he would eat that strange device for Sunday morning breakfast? It took about two minutes for an orderly and the Supt's clerk to destroy eighty per cent. of administrative acumen, and about two minutes more for the Busy Bees in the area to rid us of the remainder of our personal equation. - However, we went at beast-barracks and bucked the Cadet Store, and kow-towed' to the King and the Busy Bees, with rather dazed brains, but hopeful hearts. VVe drilled, and ran, and jumped, and smoked on the Q. T., and cleaned fusils and ourselves, and secretly reviled the Busy Bees, and walked the area, but always we were sweltering in the heat. The only luminous point in our Held of view was the Lynx. Who's he, you ask? A gentleman who made things seem easier by his presence and personality, and gave us the good impression of the Tac Department, so soon to be destroyed, never to return. ' bd l-C:-1.

But--Plebe camp, that's all! There were so many, many things that were new to us g such funny fellows, such a peculiar language. There we learned to swim the stormy seas in the tank, to trip the festive toe in Cullum, to pedestrianate on guard, to dodge the Tacs, to do something while doing nothing, to police the company street without sweeping. and a multitude of other strange and wondrous things. Then on the 25th of July, the latest instalment of building material was carted onto the post in the persons of the juliets. XVill we ever forget how we patted ourselves on the back and felt proud when we saw those funny wooden images? Buffalo I! Hi-hi ll How well we remember the hard knocks of Biffalo and the Midway? There was the upper room of the Mexican Village with its bal- cony, the underground railway over the fence back of camp, and Biffalo herself. It was hard to come back to the Point, but we did, after many good-byes and much tearing of heart-strings. The succeeding nine months was a dull, unending repetition of such wise sayings, and old saws as: 'KI aiu required-"5 mln explanation of-"3 "Guard, lunge, guardwg als that not so ?" "Young gentlemen of the-H and so on, and so on a cholera infantum. At last we emerged into another camp only succeed- ing in breaking our cocoon by the effort required to win the Field Day. This camp, beginning as it did with the Centennial Celebration, promised to be a momentous one in the history of the Corps. VV e were yearlings now 3' we would show 'em a fewg we would run the Corps rightg we would make the Tacs buck up and acknowledge our prestige. But things went wrong somehow, and after numerous squelchings, most of us found a hole, crawled in, pulled it' in after us and lapsed into innocuous desuetude until September. Most. but not allg there were Lothairios who had to Hutter round a flame, and the athletes who- cheerfully batted the bounding gutty up and down the plain, and romped in glee upon the tennis-courts. Back to the mines in September, for another "rastle" with C. Smith's HComic" Sections, and the rhombohedral, hyperbolic, epil epsiloidal, parabolodrical helicoid with a brilliant point and two Boards of Directors. . These. with art studies drawn by us under the direction of Him, calculating calculations in calcule, and a stammering, whistling whirl with the B. S. Department aroused us until it became necessary to get down to work and win the Field Day again. The monotony was varied at times by the bright and cheerful ways of those kind gentlemen, the out-titters and tailors, who advised us to turn over our furlough pin-money to them for safe-keeping. 95 At last the millenium arrived and we could go free for ten weeks. A ten weeks' crimson sunset. Most of us wanted to see whether the sun rose in a dif- ferent way from that used at the Point, and so stayed up to see on that first night, for fear of missing the spectacle. XV hat those ten weeks meant to each man we cannot, of course, say, we cannot answer for all. But to some of us they were the most joyous, care-free, happy, effervescent ten weeks ever known. The only precipitate in the solution of happiness was the realization that the days were quickly flying by, and that all too soon, we must return to that place over the gateway of which might be placed a fac-simile of what Dante found written over a certain other place, "All hope abandon ye who enter here." TN hen finally we were back again, it was hardto settle down to work, and to keep sweet memories of fairy forms and stony steins from looping-the-loop in our think-box. Our studies were supposed to be practical. The monumental ellipsisisalloid, the rolling cone, the central forces, the explosions in the lab., some one leaving the H2 S faucet open, all these are old stories to those who are most likely to read this. But now, ah now, who can tell itly of the beautiful undulatory motion in XWillie's appendicitis auricularis, or explain the paradox of studying fossils of the primordial beaCl1 from living specimens of extant in- habitants, or why is a volt? E S0011 now, these things will all be Qver, and our much-needed rest will come. This rest will be our last camp here, oU1' 'fFi1'St Class Campf, For nearly three years have we had First Class Camp dinned in our earsg its joys and sorrows, drills and plays, its beauties and L. Pfs, and so on. WVe cannot but look for- ward to it with eagerness, not only because it is our First Class Camp, but be- -cause when September comes we can gather round the water-tank and let our sweet voices rise and quaver in the joyous, though plaintive wail of "Never again." It is too early to make prophecies, the mosquito must buzz before you can catch him. But all looks prosperouS fO1' US 'fl1iS CUSUi1'1gj'C2l1'. From what we can judge of that which our predecessors have told us, our hardest work will be behind us in june, and we can lay back, smoke up and through the rings we blow, see pleasant prospects in the future, all lighted up by the sun of graduation just rising above the horizon. Then here's to I9o5!! You have lost many who fell by the wayside and who, perhaps, have sprung up and brought forth good fruit elsewhere, but some have come to you from other classes to take the places of those who tripped and fell in mounting the ladder made from the Academic Board. Victories have been Won by you in the Field Days, and your name stands high- on the honor rolls of those who have upheld the honor and prestige of West Point on the grid- 95 i iron and on the diamond. And, more important in the long run, greatest has been your success in that portion of the work here for which the Academy was pri- marily founded, Academic duties. May your name and honor be ever kept un- defiledg may the start you have made here help you to greater successes and more enduring fame in the future. And may each one of us, your sons, realize that next to our Alma Mater and the ideas embodied in the Corps motto, that which we should love and honor and uphold most stoutly and most truly is "Our Class," 1905.

Wie, that is, the greater number of us, arrived here on the 16th of june, duly armed with credentials, -high hopes and higher aspirations. XNe were at once rr' Y turned over to the not very tender mercies of f'Acting Makes" and Yearling Corporals. They say that some of the accessories of former E N Y ff :. ,IZ receptions were omitted in our case. If they were, we never missed them, but found life warm enough to suit the most fiery-minded individual. "Beast Barracks" was an awful nightmare. How we survived we know not. These first experiences took some of the jauntiness and Hippancy out of us, but they left a still stronger determination to see what the end was like. lVe had come into "Beast Barracks" fifty-one Napoleons, twenty Alexanders and a Chaf- fee, all thirsting for gloryg we left for Hplebe camp" seventy-two poor. forlorn. low-spirited 'fbeastsf' All agreed on one thing, namely, that life at XV est Point is not one long mid-summer's dream, but more in the nature of a nightmare. ' We went to our first parade g one was enough. We were given to understand that we were the worst lot that ever made an effort to disgrace the good name of the Academy. VV e couldn't see the underlying' whys and wherefores then, so we truly grieved. We know better now. VVe marched on guard the first time. CThere were so many things we did for the Hrst time that weary summerj Duly impressed with the sacred trust of a sentry, our over-active imagination 103 saw the queerest of sprites and spirits behind every stump and in every shadow, The terrors of that night still haunt our peaceful Hpipesu of Furlough. How we needed a Moses to guide us through our sea of troubles! "Father,' Abraham tried his best to head us, but never succeeded in 1nore than heading the "skin- listl' every night. During the summer we took a short trip to Stony Point, to seethat a tablet to "Mad,' Anthony VVayne was properly dedicated. After marching some 6 or IO miles through the dust and over the hills, imagine our great joy when we were given coupons calling for the stupendous amount of fifty cents, and were told to buy whatever we wantedj The class of 1906 will dedicate no more tablets. On the 25th of july we were reinforced by about thirty-five "Iuliets." We were glad they came, they were, too-for almost five minutes. The "Acting Makes" and Yearling Corps repeated their gyrations on the poor lads, but with a greater degree of polish. - Wie cannot say that the product was more polished, for "Tompo" is a Juliet. 'fNuff said." They showed themselves of the right stuff and we became one. . V' In due time that summer passed and back we went to the scene of our first rendezvous. But some how, life in barracks did not develop into the beau- tiful dream-picture that had been ours. VVith the opening of fall foot-ball season came the first opportunity to show our abilities on the athletic field. And that we were not lacking in this direction, any one will testify to who saw Harry Torney play foot-ball on Franklin Field, or Charlie Rockwell knocking the ball into the river during the base-ball season. I Gn the first of September we moved forward to attack the allied Math. and B. S. Departments. VVe found them strongly intrenched behind breastworks of Big Green B. S., Little Green B. S. and Big Red B..S., with Fisher's Geometry as a reserve. During the entire engagement they kept up a steady fire of C. Smith's Algebra. This became more and more concentrated on our rear and in a hand-to-hand conflict in December, the enemy withdrew with four prisoners. Our Napoleonic qualities were again in the ascendency, however, and we fore- saw that another encounter was inevitable. Meanwhile the enemy had brought up reinforcements in the form of Trig, La Langue Francaise, with batteries of Edison's modern rapid-nre French-speaking phonographs. The encounter came as expected, the enemy making use of Infantry and Artillery Tactics, as a "ruse de guerref' By March we were conducting a masterly retreat, giving a "tenth,' here and a "tenth" there, but Pelot and the other "speckoids" gallantly held the center. By a sudden swift descent -on our rear guard, the hostile forces sent two more of our number disabled to their homes, there to await further orders. Now indeed the fray became nerce. The opposing force moved down IO4 QF? .ia .,..- , upon us with more reinforcements, but we faced them undauntedly. By a sud- l Alvin- 4 5-7 535 5 .. E W .

On the Irth of june, Graduation Day, we finished our Plebedom and entered into the glory CFD of our Yearling stripe. The year just past had been a long hard initiation, but it was worth all the hardships to feel that hand-clasp and Q30 hear that hearty greeting of welcome to the Corps. l1.i4jf,,, Finally we girded on our ponchos and high overshoes, and by a combination wading and swimming arrived at Yearhng Camp. But no sooner had camp settled than a wonderful phenomenon occurred.

So, after an- othen -'sgeceissful Camp Illumination, we broke camp on the 28th of August and 1-etfinnetlgxtoiftrtii' troublewith the Math. Department. The conflict was more Hercextlarifij ilfiad been before June. A steady fire of "Descrip', compelled us to send to the rear, While "La Grammaire F rancaisew kept a con- stant draiif on rciur stores of "tenths," Moreover, the enemy employed instru- ments off toiiturelx in direct violation of the laws of modern warfare. These machines of? were f'Drawing', and 'fRidingf' French is bad, Math. infinitely worse,ib1i.t'bDraivi11g' is so bad that language fails in its description. And riding, Well,Fgri,din'g is riding-that is all. Of all the wild, untamed, unmanage- able, hard-mofithed, razor-backed, stiff-legged trotters intended to worry, harass and in general ,make the life of a poor Yearling miserable, from personal ex- perience we must say that the present collection is the very worst ever. Between applying soothing lotions to our bruised members and boning HDescrip," we were kept busy until january, when the Math. Department made one last de- spairing effort to !'f1nd"' the entire class. The best they could do was to weaken us to the extent of five. ' But we have no more fears, for in "calcul"'we can differentiate anything from MXH to a new suit of Furlough "cits." In a day or two we are going home to our mothers and sisters and chum's sister, so who cares for Math., Drawing, Spanish or even Riding?

Almost simultaneously the class of 1907 drew in their respective chins. 'Tis the part ofthe romantic W7 est Point Novel to tell the trials, the unique experiences, the hundred incidents of a Plebe's life, To un- derstand fully the varied sensations of a Plebe, it is necessary to be one, if but for a dayg or bet ter yet, read the history of some other Plebe class. For all classes, during their first years, pass through much the same experiences. 1 if ' An eminent critic has said that in writing biography we should c ask ourselves unceasingly, these two questions: "XNhat and how pro- duced was the subject's effect on society P" "VV hat and how produced was the effect of society on him ?" Since it is known that a Plebe has no effect on soci- ety, we have only to consider the latter 5 and we do not purpose to answer it directly. VV' e hope that it may appear not too vaguely, in the course of this un- pretentious autobiography, that, as in former years, so in IQO3, the candidates gathered at VVest Point about the middle of june. They were the usual hetero- geneous mass with all the different slouches: the stiff tin slouch, the college swagger-slouchg the fashionable slouch, and the slouch otherwise+predomi- nantly otherwise. In this number there were men who, with their friends, re- garded themselves as Caesars in embryo. Men who, through pure kindness of heart and no particular desire to conceal their attainments, would gladly have taken Captain Machlin by the hand to point out to him the infinite possibilities open in a VVest Point career. Men who had planned to listen to instructors through mere courtesy-for a few hours each day, and then to give them- selves up to the pleasures which the words "VV est Point career" conjure up. II2 Ah! were it not for the cruel customs that prevail here, Flirtation, with all its former Masters, might have at last witnessed the crowning touch of perfection -the utmost nicety of finesse-in that gentle art. By 10.22 A. M. the first permanent class organization had birthg by 11.45 it had received striking accessions, had Bled articles of incorporation and had taken permanent quarters in the Plebe Clubhouse. During the rest of Beast Barracks the little hammers were never idle. Tn this avocation alone there was no inclination to deadbeat. Topics given precedence were in order of their relative rank, the assininity of Yearling Corps, the glaring incompetency and mismanagement of the Tactical Department, etc. late were cadets less than ten minutes before we became Plebesg we were Plebes less than a day before we became in succession beasts of burden, housewives and recruits-as the occa- sion and the omnipresent Yearling Corps demanded. Tn the drills which fol- lowed the sun was hotter, the guns heavier, the drills longer and the rests rarer than in any vocation in any other country on the planet. Verily, Nthou shalt earn thy bread by the sweat of thy brow." After ages, it seemed, we were precipitated into camp, the salubrious climate of which hastens the evolution of the Plebe. There, we attended to that duty ever before us-our chins-and, as good soldiers should, cleaned our guns. The monotony of this existence was relieved by double-timing in the mud. Surely, if in kinds of work "variety is the spice of life," the country for miles about would be redolent as a Ceylon Zephyr. . As the most amusing literature of the Middle Ages is from the Vestiaries, so the most amusing records of Camp Shipp are of the menagerie. At the time however, we could not appreciate thisg occupying, as we did, the viewpoint of the proverbial frog. Qur bearing was reserved, quiet and extremely digni- hed. We felt it to be the duty of men occupying our responsible positions to bear themselves in a manner corresponding in dignity. So that, though many of us were young, our conduct was marked by an absence of levity that would have earned for us in ancient times the title Augusti. Wlieii the Iuliets came in we graciously recognized them and incidentally, whenever possible to do so without the intervention of our masters, instructed them much as we had our- selves been instructed. Many were glad to return to barracks, or was it rather to leave camp? Those who had looked forward to an easy time were sorely disappointed in the nature of the truceless war waged against that awful monstrosity-C. Smith. XV e could not use the word monster. It has passed the age limit, having served in this connection every previous class. VVe rather Hatter ourselves at the happy substitution. He is dangerous because enveloped in an impenetrable labyrinth- II3 ine maze and assumes forms invisible to the untrained eye, ranging from the merest speck to infinity. The only way to overcome him is to attack both extremes or flanks at once by an infinity of spec. Neglect of this vital prin- ciple has cost us some of the most daring of our classmates. Since returning to barracks, we have entered every held of activity. That we believe in self-reliance and originality is shown by our crest g for to prove us guilty of copying even the prescribed forms in our choice, would be beyond the power of the Solon of Heralds. It was at the beginning of the foot-ball season that '07 iirst exhibited its athletic abilities. Christie, Nagle, VVatkins, jenkins, Hill, Prince and Davis demonstrated the fact that 1907 was to hold its own in that branch of West Point life. Throughout the entire season they worked hard- so hard that the coveted "A" was won by Hill, Prince and Davis. Tn conclusion, we are unanimous in feeling that nowhere else would we have spent a year richer in experience, nor more productive of lasting good. How we counted the days separating us from that coveted service stripe en- titling us to "bring up" the next Plebe class in the "straight and narrow way." How impatiently some of us await the opportunity to demonstrate this ability. Every man in the class, as is usual in Plebe classes, hopes to be worthy of his training and the traditions of West Point. And those more fortunate who have at last attained that chiefest of earthly glories, that proud place from which one would not step voluntarilyj to mount the golden throne of Mahmud -a corporalship-will not do less. A Yearling Corp, by Gum! O yum! How sweetly it doth lie upon oneys tongue! Wliat needless tears poor Alexander shed at lack of future worlds to conquer. Had he but cast his lot with us, thrown his strength against our difficulties as he did against Asia, had he, in- stead of deluging his eyes with tears, kept them "straight to the frontl' like a couple of hard-boiled eggs, he might have been now, ye gods! he might have become with his tremendous abilities and previous military experience, greater than the son of Jupiter-a Yearling Corp. 114 , f,,.,-M FT A, V- '- -Vw-,E ,S . 11151-V' M . , .W .

VVILBY, '05 ,VER above the North Sally Port you will still ind the old Dialectic, worn with age, mellow with traditions, but filled with associations and reminiscences not easily forgotten. lbike many other institutions con- ' """ nected with the Academy, it was in its inception quite a different or- ganization than it is now. Organized as a literary club, in which the most profound subjects were discussed, it soon gained a fame and a reputation which will survive even its decrepit and time-stained walls. In looking over its old rolls, what names do We not see inscribed thereg names indelibly im- pressed on the memory of every soldier. The musty pages of history are still here to tell us how gallantly and nobly they diedg or how gloriously they climbed the ladder of fame to the very pinnacle thereof. The Society was then not an universal Corps club as it is now. And it is now not merely a reading room or a society to foster literature as it was per- haps then. It is a club to promote fellowship, good-will and a few moments of recreation and enjoyment to all. WVhat a gladsome feeling of fellowship we felt when as Yearlings we were oflicially received within its fold. How often have we gathered in the old place to deliberate either as a Class or as a Corps upon those weighty questions which had to be solved before another reveille disturbed the sweet peace of the midnight air. Surely it has not failed in its purposes! ' 116 --J""-'1 1- xy .

" " Prayer meetings are held twice a week, and the average attendance during the past year has been seventy-five. Since 1900, the records of the Association are complete, but previous to that date we know practically nothing about its history. However, the few facts that have been preserved are sufficient evidence that its work has been grand and successful. ' In 1900, Leeds, '03, founded the first Bible Class, conducted by Cadets clusively. The enrollment for this great work is now more than 200 men. Some of the graduates instrumental in developing this work are Wfilson, VV. K., Ralston and I-Iinrichs, '02, Smith, F. I-I., Leeds, I-Iawkins, Shannon and Boyd, 7 History IIE Y. M. C. A. 'was organized in 1880 with a membership of four- 03. , Our delegation to the International Student Conference at East Northfield, Mass., has been growing ever since 1900. In 1903, this delegation numbered twelve men. General Mills has helped the Association in a great many ways and especially by his liberality in permitting so many cadets to attend this con- ference. During the past year our association has been addressed by the following outside speakers: Messrs. john R. Mott, Robert E. Speer, Clayton S. Cooper, Arthur P. Williaiiis, Rev. Father I-Iuntington, Frederick I-I. Andrews, IfValter T. Diack, Sherburne Eddy, O. G. Frantz, James- P-arker, F. VV. I-Iinrichs and E. IV. Hearne. ' II8 . , N ' ' 4 ilstmm fi?

General Athletics THLETTCS at Wfest Point had a very stormy beginning. Hampered by many embarrassing restrictions, haunted by a feeling that the sacred traditions of the Academy were being trodden upon on the foot-ball and base-ball fields, harassed by doubts as to the expediency of it all, and as to where this evolution might lead us, we were blindly groping in the dark, upheld only by the conviction that our purpose was a worthy one. Up to 1890, football was comparatively unknown. There was a vague and indefinite idea that such a game existed, but few men in the Corps had ever participated in the sport. The Cadets were exceedingly anxious to play it, but K' .xx Q L' 'd!uSfP b the conditions were suchqthat the beginning was a hard struggle. At that time Cadet life was stern, harsh and almost prison-like. VV e were not supposed to possess the instincts and desires common to youths of our age, the only amuse- ments accorded us were the dubious ones obtainable in the monotonous round of drill and study 5 our wildest gaieties were limited to a strict observance of the Blue Book. It was very difficult to get the authorities to take a favorable view of the question, and only by persistent effort was permission to play finally ob- tained. This year Annapolis sent a challenge which was immediately accepted, but the season had advanced so far that training was entirely out of the question. Nevertheless the game was played on November 29, 1890, resulting in a victory for the Navy. Score, 24-o. The Army, however, was not disgraced. It real- ized before the game that its lack of experience, practice and knowledge of the game had placed it to a great disadvantage. Restricted by the rigid discipline of the Academy and prohibited from playing with any outside team, it was com- pelled to develop its ,strength wholly within itself. The Army team may be sum- med up quickly by saying that it displayed great pluck, but little science. The team naturally felt the defeat very keenly, but with that old spirit of tenacity ever since so manifest, it determined to master the science of the game and redeem itself the following year. , That first defeat was a blessing. It was the best thing that could have happened for the advancement of foot-ball at the Academy. , So much enthusiasm was now aroused that base-ball was entirely neglected in order to bring foot-ball to a higher state of development. The next year it A 131 began handicapped by a complete absence of coaches and an entire lack of time for practice. Nevertheless there was a very marked improvement in the playing of the team, due principally to the untiring efforts and coaching of Michie, 192, who we might say is the father of foot-ball at the Academy. That year five games were played, W7 est Point winning three, tying one and losing 0116. The Navy game was played November 28, and much to the surprise and chagrin of the Navy, who were so confident of winning that they were betting 2 to 1 on the game, they were beaten by that very ratio of 2 to 1, the actual score being 32 to 16. ln 1892 there was a steady advance in athletics. Baseball became well es- tablished and games were played every Saturday with College teams. The foot- ball game was played on November 26, and resulted in a victory for the Navy. Score, I2-4. The main cause of the delay in the progress of athletics at VV est Point, was the absence of any organization to support and control the teams. Financial support was given by voluntary contribution, and control was exercised entirely by the Cadets. The fall of 1892 gave birth to the organization of the Army Ofhcers, Athletic Association and the U. S. M. A. Athletic Association. The officers' organization was for the purpose of encouraging athletics among the Cadets and throughout the Army in general g the Cadet organization for the purpose of controlling Academy athletics. Through the financial aid and encour- agement given by the A. 0. A. A., our athletics have been crowned with a suc- cess almost marvelous. In 1893, field and track athletics were introduced. The first field day was held on April 18, the teams being composed of live men from each class. This number has since been changed, two men representing each class in every event. The lirst banner offered by the A. 0. A. A. was won by the Class of '96. There was a decided -advance in base-ball this year, Although victory did not crown their efforts, still it' could be plainly seen that the teams were becoming stronger each year, due principally to the fact that the schedules contained some of the strongest college teams, from whom we were able' to gather many valuable points. In foot-ball, the team made good records against Yale, Princeton and Lehigh, a great run for a touchdown by Duncan against Princeton being the feature of this year's work. On account of the good showing against these teams, W'est Point was expected to win the linal game. The Navy had won two of the three games played so far and there were rumors that the series was to end by order of the Wfar and Navy Departments. Our team was eager to make a winning finish and even up honors. Mr. Laurie Bliss and Mr. Harmon Graves coached us that year, the first regular coaches we ever had. The first half ended without a score, and it looked like a drawn battle. In the second half both teams scored, but 132 Carson failed to kick goal, and this great game ended with the score 6-4. A Navy victory. Immediately after, a report was sent out from Wlashington that this would be the last game between the academies, "As the curricula of both in- stitutions required the closest and most rigid application, the risk of having the players kept from their studies even a day being too great." Secretaries I-Ier- bert and Lamont decided to stop the games between the two Academies. Al- though it was not the intention to suppress foot-ball as a game, this decision kept the two Academies apart for six years, until relations were again resumed in ISQQ.. . This history is too brief to give the classes and the names of the men who by hard work and perseverance made foot-ball and all other athletics possible. They laid a foundation upon which a structure wasbuilt,qualifyingus tobeclassed among the very best in the country. VV e cannot dwell upon the years between the first and second series with Annapolis, our principal purpose being to deal with the condition which led to the present state of the various forms of athletics now en- gaged in at the Academy. These years contain accounts which were indeed a credit to IW est Point. The names of King, Kromer, Romeyn, Stacy, Connor and Nolan will long be remembered not only by those who have gone before us, but also by the Corps to-day. The base-ball teams during this time were only second class. In fact we have never been able to turn out a strictly first class team. In track athletics the banner was won by '96 three successive years, and then twice in succession by ,Q7. In 1899, the efforts of Dr. 'Wliite and the graduate directors of athletics for the University of Pennsylvania caused the Secretary of Wfar, and the Secretary of the Navy to consider the benefits of foot-ball as a recreation for the Cadets with the result that the relations between the two Academies were to be resumed at Franklin Field, Philadelphia, on November 28. 18.99. Gate money was abol- ished, the entire expense of the game being borne by the University of Pennsylva- nia. The 18,000 tickets were equally divided among the two Academies and the U. of P., and were to be issued as complimentary onlyl The presence of the President, the Cabinet and a long line of Generals, Admirals and other distinguished Army and Navy officers, has given a distinctive atmosphere to these games. That year we had a green team, defeat had come more often than victory. A number of our best men were hurt, and opposed to us was a strong ever-confident Navy team-in fact the indications for victory were greatly against us and we could only hope for a small score. But that day the team fully upheld the credit of the Corps and played with such spirit and good judgment, that they 'went home victorious with that never-to-be forgotten score, I7 to 5 . 133 A In 1900 the base ball team did very creditable work. This was the nearest approach to a hrst-class team we had yet developed, winning four games out of six. The season in foot-ball was rather a disastrous one. The team at times played foot-ball, but at other times its work was far below the average. At Franklin Field on a slippery held, the Navy taking advantage of a series of mis- plays, succeeded in defeating us by a score of II to 7. This year we were the over-confident team, and it was largely if not entirely due to .this unfortunate trait that we lost. The season of 1901 was the most brilliant in the history of the Academy, and it is to be doubted if the record made that year will ever be repeated. The sched- ule contained games with Yale, Harvard, Princeton, University of Pennsylvania and the Navy, a schedule which seemed altogether too aspiring but which was carried out in a manner far beyond our most sanguine expectations. These games resulted as follows: Harvard 6, VVest Point og Yale 5, VV'est Point 5 5 Princeton 6, VV est Point 6, University of Pennsylvania 0, lrVest Point 24, Navy 5, VVest Point II. The more one contemplates this record, the more its brilliancy grows upon him, it was indeed phenomenal. It took five of the best teams in the country to make 22 points against us, and while they were doing it we piled up 46. Harvard, the champion of the year,is the only team that lowered our colors and succeeded in doing this only by a long run in the last thirty seconds of play. All the critics unanimously gave us third place this year. Casper WVhitney said, "There is no question in my mind of 'West Point being entitled to rank after Har- vard and Yale among the Eastern Colleges." During the winter a series of games of base-ball was arranged between the teams representing the two Academies. These were to be played each year, alternately at Annapolis and 'West Point. The nrst game was played Saturday, May 18, 1901, at Annapolis, Maryland. The hrst class had graduated in February, so we were compelled to play the Navy with a team taken from three classes. However, after a very close and exciting game, we won by the score of 4 to 3. The Indoor Meet was won by 1902. WVest Point in 1902, put forth the best team in its history. There is little doubt but that it should have had second place this year. The team was devel- oped along the lines used by the large colleges. namely, training the team with only the final game in view, taking all others throughout the season in its stride, win or lose. The schedule, though not quite as aspiring this year, contained in addition to minor engagements, games with Harvard, Yale, Syracuse and the Navy. Harvard was the only team that succeeded in winning from'us, and then only after we had scored upon them, making a straight touchdown from normal formation. Yale was forced to leave the field with a tie score, 6 to 6. Syracuse was beaten badly. and by the time we reached the Navy game. cur team was fully T34 developed. with the men in perfect physical condition. Cn November 28. tearing great, gaping holes in the Navy line, smashing, crashing and plunging for three, four and tive yards at a time, breaking down the Navy defense by a bull-like at- tack, Boyers and his gallant band literally plowed their way to a great victory over our old opponents from Maryland, the score being 22 to 8. It was a great day for the Army, for our team swept the Navy Off its feet, demonstrating its superi- ority in every department of the game. So the conditions of 18QO were reversed. The Army by steady, consistent and determined work had built up from the foundation laid by Michie and his fellow-cadets, a team which not only defeated the Navy decisively, but attained an unthought of position-a place among the "Big Four." We also had the pleasure of seeing Bunker, Daly and Boyers placed on the All-American of this year-truly a great record. The base-ball team this year played at times brilliantly, but was unfortunate in having its off days come at the wrong time. The schedule was a long one, con- taining eighteen games, of which we won IO, lost 6, two being cancelled. The Navy defeated us on May 17, by a score of 5 to 3. Inability to hit was the prin- cipal cause for defeat, and that is, in fact, the weak spot in all W7 est Point teams. This year marks the real beginning of fencing at the Academy. It received an impulse from the fact that a team was entered in the Intercollegiate tournament. For the first time were we to test our strength against the principal colleges of the East, among them the Navy. After defeating Cornell, Harvard, Columbia, Yale and Pennsylvania during the season, we finished the year's work by winning the Intercollegiate championship with a decisive score. The Indoor Meet was won by the class of '03 and the Field Meet by the Class of 'o5. This brings us to the season of 1904, which will be discussed separately. There is no doubt that this gradual but steady development in athletics has been a benent not only to us now at the Academy, but also to the graduates in the Army, and to sport in general, for nowhere in the country is a purer system of athletics followed. By means of it, we have been able to bear the burdens of the curriculum with lighter hearts, while the Hesprit cle corpsl' has increased tenfold by the opportunities now presented to measure ourselves with the students of other institutions. VVhen a cadet of to-day graduates into that great and honor- able Corps beyond, he does not carry with him a feeling of bitterness toward the Academy as in the pre-athletic period. In his mind, he bears memories of recrea- tions and athletic triumphs which softened the asperities of his student life. I-Ie looks with eagerness for news about the various athletic teams at the old place, taking a just pride in its victories and a sincere regret in its defeats. This interest. although primarily directed towards athletics, does not stop there. but embraces all those things which are of importance to our welfare. 135. 00 BPI. .03 Q J 2, 'Sa Lf,?,:.f+?'sF a-wif?-v"7E FOOTBALL, I903 T' ' HE season of 1903, While not a brilliant one, ended in a blaze of glory. The general plan of the year was to gradually develop the team to the N Chicago game, and then to keep up that standard until the Navy game. . College teams begin the season with a squad composed of men who have been away on their summer vacation 3 hence they need a month's hard Work to get into condition. In accomplishing this, their offensive and defen- sive play progress in the same degree, so that they are far advanced when they meet us. When we meet Harvard and Yale our offensive is not to be compared with our. defensive. We are in good physical condition. This enables us to put up a powerful defensive game, although playing against teams outvveighing us fifteen pounds per man. As this condition was not acquired by playing football, our offensive work has not had a chance to be developed 5 our plays have not been perfectly formed 1 the men are not Working with that speed and precision which is acquired only by constant practice. The truth of this Was shown in the game with Chicago. Here our defense was up to its usual standard, and our offense was even better. In consideration of all this we take all teams, both great and small as they come, playing the best we can but keeping constantly in mind that most important of all events--the annual defeat of the Navy,-this having become a regular feature of our Football calendar. A The line-up against Colgate marked the opening of the season, but the be- ginning was not very favorable. From a spectators stand-point the day was all that could be desired-bright and clear, but not quite sharp enough to induce snappy playing. Colgate proved to be a formidable foe, and although not scoring, they prevented us from crossing their goal. Our failure 'to score when within easy striking distance was disappointing. However, if you take into considera- tion that opening games are but try-outs, and that the physical condition and training of the men are not such as to permit hard, fast playing, we had every reason to feel satisned. The next game with Tufts was in marked contrast to that against Colgate. Even if much remained to be accomplished, the improvement in both team work and individual play was a source of gratihcation to all. Tufts, the Wednesday before, had held down Yale to I7 points. This day she was unable to stop the 137 TROPHY CUP fierce rushes of the Army backs, who time and again broke through for long gains.. Only once did Tufts hold us for downs and that was due to a penalty of ro yards for off-side play. In this game, Farnsworth was seen for the first time at right half-back, and did very well in this new position.. Score: Army 17, Tufts o. ' p The following Saturday we played Dickinson on a wet and slippery Held. Our opponents played a fine game and stubbornly contested every inch of ground, but in the end our superior strength predominated. There were no spectacular plays or sensational runs. The touchdowns made by the Army were earned by hard straight football. Score: Army 12, Dickinson o. Harvard made her appearance here on the 17th of October, and in a heavy rain which continued throughout the game defeated us by a score of 5 to o. Their single touchdown was made fifteen minutes after the game started, by a mass play on our right guard and tackle, the runner getting through - for a clear held of 22 yards. Once again they placed the 2 ball on our 5-yard line, but . A after repeated assaults were M - f compelled to give way to our powerful defense, losing the ball on downs. Harvard's known tendency for fumbling in previous contests, taken in connection with her defeat by Amherst the Saturday before, raised our hopes and gave us well-grounded expectations of chieagds Line a West Point victory. Considering the conditions under which the game was played, there was little fumbling on either side and only once did Harvard miss a punt. It was a kick- ing game throughout, with the advantage in our opponents' favor. In rushing the ball West Point made 70 yards to Harvard's So yards, but as this includes her long run of 22 yards, the strength of the two teams was just about equal. Our line was at times irnpregnable, and the score is evidence of the fact that Harvard, though outweighing us from end to end, had all she could do. It was more good fortune for Harvard than poor playing on our part that enabled her to score. After three rainy Saturdays, we were nnally favored with a clear, dry day for the Yale game. For three years Yale had not been able to defeat us, and although Eli played a wonderful game all season, we fully expected to score. We started .ru Farnsworth, of West Point, Making Six Yards Through 139 the game with a rush that took the wearers of the Blue completely off their feet. Before they realized that the game was fully begun, we had driven them from one end of the held to the other, scored a goal from placement, not rushing the ball once since the opening of the game. Yale had carried the ball to our io-yard' . West Point's Tandem Under Way in Chicago Game this goal was very remarkable this year. It was a beautiful example of the value of a kicking game. Yale took a very decided brace after this score and soon made a touch- down. The first half ended with the score 6 to 5 in Yale's favor. In the second half Yale's attack was irresistible, their punting excellent. Dur- ing this period they outplayed us in every department. The score at the end of the game was I7 to 5. V The next two games were with Vermont and Manhattan. line when she fumbled. Prince immediately kicked to our 4o- yard line, Hammond making a beautiful tackle of the run- ner. Yale could not make the -required distance in three trials and surrendered the ball on downs. Prince punted from our 36-yard line. The punt was misjudged by a Yale back and rolled to the visitors' io-yard line. Here Yale made a poor kick and then made matters worse by interfering with Hackett, who caught the ball on the 30-yard line. We were given I5 Doe lifted the ball squarely between the posts.

Wfzg Torney, West Point, Circling Right End for 'Den-Yard Gain in Chicago Game ' The scores : West Point 20, Vermont o, and West Point 58, Manhattan o. Both games were extremely easy, our team completely outclassing the Visiting teams. 140 The game which was really the championship game of the year, was played against Chicago on November 14th. Special interest was attached to this game, because it was a contest between one of the great Western universities and a rep- resentative Eastern team. Outweighed fifteen pounds per man on the line, West Point triumphed, with the relative merits of the two teams about as indicated by the score.: West Point. io, Chicago 6. There was not even an approximation to roughness on either side. The courteous manner of the members of the Chicago team was a beautiful illustration of how gentlemen should play the game. We trust that Chicago will return to do battle next year, as such games are truly ben- eflcial to the sport. The Army was first to score, carrying the ball 85 yards for a touchdown without losing it once. A poor punt-out was made and a chance for a goal was thus forfeited. In the second half, after having been held for downs three times 'on our io-yard line, Chicago scored and kicked the goal, making 1he score 6 to 5 in their favor. Excitement was intense throughout, and having held the lead until near the end, it was especially trying to us to - ' --fy ' Qi ' lose it by the narrow margin A ' ' of one point with only a few minutes left to play.. How- ever, the Army team never said die for a moment, and get- ting possession of the ball on a fumble by Chicago on her 35-yard line, started for a score making 5 yards at a clip. A fumble on the io-yard line, however, lost the ball and our hopes sank out of sight. A kick by Chicago, a 'few dashes by West Point, and an exchange of kicks with interference on a fair catch gave us our last chance. Doe arose to the occasion by kicking a beautiful goal squarely between the posts. The suspense while Chicago was objecting to the decision was something ter- rible, and the pandemoniuru when Doe kicked the goal was correspondingly in- tense. The scenes of the Yale and Princeton games here two years ago, and of the Yale game last year were re-enacted with an enthusiasm which echoed back from the hills, and gave an experience long to be remembered. The Chicago press and supporters of that team lay claim to superiority, and say that the goal from placement should not have been allowed. Stilwell signal- ed a fair catch and was standing perfectly still. A Chicago man got so close that IS. Chicago-West Point Teams Lined up for First Scrimmage in Game T4 1 the ball hit his head just in front of Stilwell's hands and, of course, bounded off. A foul committed by a player in no way depends upon the intent of that player. After the interference, Stilwell remained in position with hand raised claiming a foul. The ruling of the oiiicial was absolutely correct, and the foul was so evi- dent that the merest novice could recognize it. They failed to realize that had we not kicked this goal they would have won the game on an exactly similar circumstance. Another claim to superiority is that Chicago gained more distance than the Army, but they have not considered the efforts they made in gaining the ground. The failure to cross our goal line more than once was in no way due to fumbles or penalties, but lack of offensive power at critical points, and stonewall defense by the Army, which could not be overcome when the goal line was in danger, while our failure to cross a second time just before placement was due to a fum- ble, for we were going 5 yards at a try in a way which could not be denied. ' In running back kicks by Eckersall, the Chicago team was vastly superior to ours, and in open field running Daly is the only superior to Eckersall ever seen. Eckersall also out-punted our kickers by a few yards, but no advantage occurred thereby, except in getting the ball in touch. West Point had to punt out fre- quently and Chicago was thereby enabled to hold on to the ball an undue propor- tion of the time. Eckersall was helpless in his attempts to drop-kick, and the only one he got off was yards wide of the posts. The following table shows the yards gained by attack against the line, efforts in making these yards, yards per effort, runs from kicks, and efforts in making these runs : , 5 V I 1 Efforts in Average per V Runs .

They have played their last game on the West Point gridiron, and are now ready to take their place among the rooters, with the hopes that their efforts dur- ing the past four years have not been in vain. Farnsworth, our captain, by hard conscientious work, showed himself not only to be a player, but he set an exam- ple for the rest of the team, which was well to follow. He made the sacrifice of his life when he left the Navy game because he felt that an injury to his leg made him less useful than a substitute in good condition. By that act he will always be remembered as a captain who sacrificed himself for the good of the team. Thompson and Riley, N. W., were a complete success at guard. Both were of the variety of men who never give up their task, no matter how hard the oppo- nent was using them. Their strong defense helped us out of many a tight hole. Hackett, last yearts half-back, was moved over to quarter. Being an old player, and having the able teaching of Daly, he was soon able to master the position Before the end of the season he was handling the team perfectly, and especially valuable in running back punts. jensvold and McAndrew were both hurt early in the season, compelling us to do without their valuable services. Cooper play- ed on the scrub all season, and finally succeeded in working his way to the first team by one of the pluckiest Eghts imaginable. He took Farnsworth's position in the Navy game, and ended his football career in a most brilliant manner. Stil- well began the season at quarter, but having never played before this-season it was considered necessary to fill his place with one who was more experienced in the game. His work was very good, and a lack of experience only prevented him from holding the position. Copp was unfortunate as usual, an injury keeping him from playing most of the season. The untiring efforts of Captains King and Smither, Lieutenants Kronier, Bet- tison and Connor, were greatly appreciated by everyone. VVe owe them our thanks for their work in making our final football season memorable, both for the results obtained and the enjoyment we derived. Being experienced players them- selves, they were in a position to coach us on every point. Every man of the squad had the utmost confidence in them. In conclusion we wish the greatest success possible to the team of 1904, and our fondest wish is that they beat the Navy-now and forever. 143 FOOTBALL TEAM, 1903 Full Back. . . Left Halt. . .

Fi wo' of ' 0 0 1 o 1 ow-fr to NLY on the football Held, in progressive joint manoeuvres can the Army and the Navy be pitted against each other. But according to Bismarck, " You cannot get up a iight between an elephant and a whale." This 'hmgfqi may be true in war, but never on the gridiron. Both teams go in to win, and no matter how one-sided the score may seem at the end, the victory is never easily won. Because the low age limit made it impossible for the Navy to obtain old and experienced players, the middies contested that we even up this so-called handi- cap by agreeing to a set of eligibility rules. We upheld that- none were needed. The object of eligibility rules is not to equalize the chances of winning. Their one purpose is to prevent and abolish professionalism, and surely this is unknown and impossible at both Academies. Wie claim that any advantage which we derive from the higher age limit is offset by the greater 'number of middies from which the Navy can choose. The difficulties were, however, nnally amicably settled. Our season had been a fairly successful one, for we lost but one player. Torney was hurt in the Chicago game, making it necessary to develop a new full- back in two weeks. The team, however, was a strong combination, in perfect physical condition and well drilled in all the known football tactics. At 2.oo o'clock sharp, Captain "1key " and his gallant band trotted out on the iield-football teams always trot. The entire south stand arose as one man, and with bared heads turned out a long corps yell for the team, finishing with a pro- longed and vigorous " route step." The Navy, with its goo middies, yelled as if they belonged to the " Choir Invisible." This, however, did not disconcert the team, for as one wise plebe said : " Our prime object in going to the Quaker City was to play football." . Our old foe played that same plucky game she has played in times past, in 146 which the Army goes down the field every three minutes for a touchdown. For the sailors " McCarthy " generally carried the ball, but also generally failed to make the distance. One of the most pathetic incidents of the game occurred when the score was 30-5 in our favor. The north stand arose an masse, singing " Army, what makes you feel so badly ? " Of course we were taking an exceed ingly peculiar way to show our sorrow, but every one recovered in time to join in the old slogan : " We'll keep your little graves green." The following account of the game is taken from Capt. Pierce's report : THE GAME It was a glorious ending to the present football season. While we rejoice. in having won so fine a victory, still we have a feeling of the greatest respect for the team that fought so gamely in the face of certain defeat. The final result, to an impartial V judge, was never in doubt, V i- '7 fa? :"- ' and but for a number of costly Q fumbles at the start it is safe .l V to say the midshipmen would not have scored. They were out-played from start to hnish, and only three times duringthe game did they make a first down-once in the Hpst half and twice in the second. Their " - 1 - t trick plays did not work and Qxfy Fifteen ym-ds their end runs counted for nothing. In a word, they were not in the same class with the cadets 1 nor was their physical condition equal to that of the Army team. Vlfest Point made three substitutions while Annapolis had practically a new team in the second half. A Although in poor condition owing to an injured leg, Captain Farnsworth started in the gamel As soon as it was apparent that his presence was injuring the work of the eleven, he called Cooper to replace himself. This conduct was very commendable, since rather than jeopardize the chances of his team to win, he chose to be replaced by a player in better physical condition. Praise is due to each member of the team for his share in the final outcome of the game. Every one played hard and well. 'The line did exceedingly good work, both on defense and offense. The fact that the Navy made only 32 yards by line plays shows the quality of the defensive work. The offensive was appar- V 147 ent to every onlooker in position to see the forwards charge, opening up great holes in their opponentls line for our backs to pass through. Probably the most spectacular play of the entire game was the 42-yd. run of Prince from scrimmage for a touchdown. Hackett and Tipton made the play possible by their interference for, and assistance to, the runner. Three times was Prince apparently stopped and down, but each time he was helped to get clear and going again. Davis at full-back played a surprisingly good game, considering that this is his nrst year at the Academy. Weighing 192 pounds and being 'very quick and active, he was almost irresistible in line-plunging. Hammond played a noticeably fine game at end. Graves was as usual a powerful factor in the suc- cess of the cadet eleven. He was in every play, and his peculiar power of diag- ndsing the intentions of the opponents was apparent throughout this contest. Tipton played perfectly except for one poor pass. He is exceedingly strong active, and quick to follow the ball. In my opinion he is one of the best centers produced this season. Riley and Thompson were so superior to their opponents that no comparison is possible. When Thompson went to tackle to replace Doe, who was taken out on account of a leg injured in the Chicago game, his play- ing seemed better even than at guard, for time and again he broke through and nailed' the runner for a loss. Cooper played better than I have ever seen him play before, and fully justi- fied his selection as substitute for Farnsworth. Doe had just come out of the hospital. However, he played fine game and was only taken out when the game was safe, for fear further playing might injure him. Rockwell played a good end, being especially valuable in getting down under kicks. The substitu- tion of Mettler and Gillespie for Doe and Rockwell did not apparently weaken the team. Taken all in all the West Point eleven which faced the Navy team on Franklin Field, November 28th, 1903, was a powerful, active combination of individuals, who won on their merits. The play Was concentrated and fast 3 the team Work excellent. The game was played by us almost entirely from normal formation. It was found unnecessary to use the tandem, which had 'proved so effective against the University of Chicago.

The Navy won the toss, and Davis for West Point kicked off at 2.13 to the mid- dies I5-yd. line and the runner made ro yards. Hammond stopped the next play for a loss of 5 yards and the Navy punted to Hackett at mid-field where he was downed. Prince fumbled in the next play, but was tried again and made 5 yards through center. Davis and Farnsworth in four tandem plays tore off 1 1 yards, but Farns- worth fumbled and Annapolis secured the ball on the 45-yd. mark. Four yards to go on the third down forced Annapolis to punt, and Hackett was thrown on his 4o- yd. line. In a delayed pass Farnsworth dropped the ball and it went to the middies on the Army's 45-yd. mark. Annapolis could not make the distance in three tries and punted to Hackett on his 15-yd. line. Davis in two attempts gained ro yards and Hackett signalled a puntg the pass was high and Prince had to reach for ity he fumbled and the middies fell on the leather zo yards from the cadet goal. West Point's line held 'firm against the assaults of the Navy and a try at a held goal from placement resulted. The ball went true score 8 minutes after the game started.

A gain of one yard in three tries forced a punt and Hackett made the catch on the middle line. On the first down Prince punted across the Navy's goal line and the middies kicked out to Prince at mid-fieldg he was thrown on the 5o-yd. mark. Farnsworth again fumbled and it was the Navy's ball on the 47-yd. line. Farnsworth was replaced by Cooper. The Navy could not make a first down and punted to Hackett on- his go-yd line 5 he made 4 yards. Prince, Davis and Cooper advanced the ball to the 5o-yd. mark where Prince punted to the Navy's 25-yd. line, Tipton making the tackle. Annapolis tried a fake kick on the second down and did not make a yard. The Army got the ball on a fumble on the zo-yd. line and in five plays Davis wasfshoved over for :tntouchdown at 2:45. Doe kicked goal. Army 6 3 Navy 5. Davis kicked off to the Navy's 5-yd. line and himself made the tackle on the 25-yd. mark. A third down with 2 yards to go compelled Annapolis to punt. Hackett ran the kick back 8 yards to the Army's 53-yd. line. The cadets failed to make the required distance and Davis kicked to the Navy's 35-yd. line outside. For the first time since the game started the Navy made a first down by going through center for 6 yards. However, 5 yards to go on the next third down forced a punt and Prince caught and was downed on the Army's 39-yd. line. Prince hit the line for 3 yards and then punted from a position close up behind the line. As the ball went over the head of a Navy back he touched it and Ham- mond, tearing down the field secured it on the Navy's 8-yd. line. Davis in two tries made 4 yards and a penalty for offside by the Navy gave the Army a first down. Prince in the next play went over for a touchdown at 3 o'clock and Doe kicked goal. Army 12 5 Navy 5. - Davis kicked off, and the ball sailed directly between the posts and over the cross-bar. Hackett muffed the kick-out and Hammond picked up the ball, but was downed on the Army's 47-yd. line. Davis went through left tackle for 4 yards, and Prince from a normal formation punted to the Navyls 20-yd. mark, Hammond downing the runner for no gain. The middies punted on the third down to Hackett on his 50-yd. line, and he made to yards. Prince was again given the ball and came through stumbling 3 he fell, but was lifted to his feet by Hackett, and behind Tipton's excellent interference, and with continued assist- ance, made a run of 40 yards to a touchdown,-certainly a most sensational run. Doe kicked goal and made the score: Army 18 3 Navy 5. Davis kicked off to the Navy's zo-yd. line and Hammond was there with the ball. The Navy punted on the third down and Prince caught the ball on the bound at mid-field g he was downed on the Navy's 50-yd line. Prince, Cooper and Davis carried the ball to the 35-yd. mark and time was called at 3:21. SECOND HALF f The second half started with no changes in the Army team. The Navy made several substitutions during the progress of the half, due apparently to lack of condition. 152 At 3:45 Annapolis kicked off to the Army's 15-yd. line where the tackle was made. Prince's punt on the Hrst down was blocked and it was the Navy's ball on the Arn1y's 15-yd. line. The Navy tried a field goal from placement on the third down, but the ball was blocked and Thompson fell on it for the cadets on the 2o- yd. line. Prince punted to the Ar1ny's 45-yd. line and Hammond was offside, the ball hitting him in the back. Annapolis was allowed a free kick from the 25-yd. line. The ball was blocked, however, but was recovered by the Navy on the 45--yd. mark. Annapolis punted only I5 yards and Rockwell secured the ball. Prince returned the punt to mid-field and Hammond downed the runner. The Navy here made a second first down on the Army's 48-yd. line, but a third down with 5 yards to go compelled them to punt. Hackett rnuffed on his 2o-yd. line, but fell on the ball. Prince made 3 yards and Davis was jammed through center to the 42-yd. line. Cooper placed the leather on the 5o-yd. mark, and Davis and Prince took it to the Navy's 45-yd. line. Davis and Cooper in two tries added 7 yards more, and Prince skirted left end for I8 yards. With the ball on the 2o-yd. mark a touch-down was in sight and in five plays Prince crossed the line at 4 minutes after 4 olclock. Hackett punted out to Graves, but Doe failed at goal, the ball being blocked. Army 23 3 Navy 5. Davis kicked oii' and the runner was downed on the Navyls 22-yd. line. A fumble gave 'West Point the ball on the 20-yd. line and in six plays Davis made the fourth touchdownlfor the Army. Doe kicked goal. Army 29 3 Navy 5. Doe was replaced by Mettler. Annapolis caught the kick-off on the 5-yd. line and ran it back 35 yards. The Navy tried a fake kick on the second down, but made no gain, and were com- pelled to punt. Hackett made the catch and was thrown on the Army's 52-yd. line. Prince's punt was blocked, but Davis recovered the ball and Prince again punted, the runner being downed on the 22-yd. line. Gillespie was substituted for Rockwell. The middies made another first down in two tries and placed the ball on their 2-S-yd. line. They lost 5 yards on the next play and tried a fake kick which netted only 2 yards. They punted to Hackett at mid-field and he was downed for no gain. Prince punted on the second down to the Navy's 25-yd. line and Hammond was on hand to make the tackle. A punt by the middies on the third down landedathe ball on their 45-yd. mark, from which point the cadets rushed it down the field in plunges which netted 5 and 6 yards at a time. Prince made the touchdown at 4:33 and Hackett kicked goal. Army 35 3 Navy 5. Davis's kick-offwent to a Navy man on the ro-yd. line and he made 23 yards. A quarterback run lost 2 yards and Annapolis punted to Hackett on his 45-yd. markg he was thrown on the middle line. Prince punted to the Navy's 2 5-yd. line and the kick was run back I5 yards. The Navy punted on the third down to Hackett on his 30-yd. line and he ran forward 20 yards. Prince's punt was ' 153 blocked, but the cadets recovered the ball on the 40-yd. line. Hackett signalled another punt and Prince lifted the oval to the Navy's 35-yd. line, the runner being downed after going ro yards. A loss of 3, yards compelled the middies to punt and Hackett was nailed on the Army's 43-yd. line. With 2 yards to go on the third dovvn Prince punted to the Navy's 20-yd. line. In a fake kick Annap- olis lost 5 yards and punted to Hackett on the Navyls 45-yd. line. He yelled " fair catch " and was tackled as the ball struck his arms. For this interference West Point Was given a free kick from the 25-yd. line and Davis kicked a neat goal. Army 40, Navy 5. Davis kicked off to the Navy's 15-yd. line and time was called at 4:54. ,n Thus ended the Navy's Waterloo. The score might have been kept down by the use ofa little judgment. At the beginning of the game the Navy tried our line but found it absolutely impassable. Instead of opening out their plays and using end runs, which might have been successful with their light, fast team. they continued to batter the wall. As a result they made but three lirst downs. Again, after each kick-off, they chose to receive the ball in their own territory. This forced them to kick immediately, giving us the ball Within scoring distance. The Navy went down splendidly to defeat, and even when the end drew near there was that same brave, plucky iight We have seen so often and admired so much. We earnestly hope to meet them again, and that our relations shall continue in one long line of continual friendship. All you fellers, here's to the Navy. Ray I Ray ! Ray l Oh, Navy! Won't you listen? For the Army's got a mule VVith a long rat tail, And a hide as thick As a coat of mail, So keep your eye on him. He's a razor-back. He's a cracker-jack, And we've got him shod With a cast-iron shoe, And when he kicks He'll land on you, And send you sailing home. 1 MFA' 154 FOOTBALL SQUAD, SEASON 1903 .aa -4. I CAPT. PALMER -E.

We attribute this to the factlthat about the first of May, ' ' the weather becomes exceedingly warm, drills begin in earnest and we find that each day is completely taken up with hard work. Hereto- fore we have never had a training table for the base-ball team, hence there was nothing to keep a player's waist plate from becoming attached to his backbone. So we found ourselves gradually losing form until at the end of the season, we were playing as if our feet were tied to the ground Even though the season ended so disastrously, it was not without its good points, for we defeated. Harvard by the score of 6 to 4-the first time we have ever beaten any of the "Big Fourn in base-ball At the beginning of the season we found ourselves without the services of Abbott, Herr and Hobson and it was therefore absolutely necessary to de- velop an entirely new infield. We had secured an excellent coach in Stein- weinder, of Princeton. He was with us until the middle of May, when he left to coach Princeton. W' e began the season by defeating Union, W'illiams and Dickinson, and then treating Harvard to a little surprise party, so sudden that they are still wondering up in Cambridge how it happened. This game probably caused more joy in the Corps than any yet played here. There was indeed cause for it, for Harvard had just shut out Georgetown and had beaten the middies in two games. Graham did the pitching, allowing Harvard only eight scattered hits, which accounts for their defeat. Coburn started to pitch for Harvard, but after we had scored six runs, retired in favor of Clarkson. The fireworks went off in the third inning with 159 time and percussion fuses. The first two men took time and walked to first. Vlfhipple, as usual, bunted and filled the bases. Then with two-strikes and three balls called, Gardiner, I. B., shut his eyes and with a mighty swing sent the ball to Officers' row for a home run. Stopping to tell the Harvard second baseman about the accident, he almost missed connections at home. The game ended 6 to 4 in our favor and this also ended our winning streak. Fordham, Lafayette and Amherst beat us in succession and then to aggravate matters Columbia and 7th Regiment did the same. VX-fishing to begin well in our first game with Columbia, we were anxious to win. Carter allowed but eight hits, striking out eleven men, but VV' est Point made seven errors, which accounts ,for the defeat. i The 7th Regiment in a very close and exciting game defeated us by the score of 2 to o, our first shut out. This game was lost through our weakness at the bat, for there was not the slightest fault in our pitcher's work. Thus the season might be compared to a bonfire, bright and powerful at the beginning but ending in a heap of ashes-all its inert strength gone, its darkness seeming all the darker on account of the brilliancy of its beginning. And now a few words about the individual members of the team. VV e had a splendid corps of pitchers in Graham, Carter and Phillips. Graham was ex- cellent, having a large assortment of curves and drops and plenty of speed, but he lacked the proper coaching. Carter and Phillips also possessed speed and curves, but lacked the experience necessary to make them first-class pitchers. Carter will be our mainstay in the box this season and we ought to see a decided improvement in his work. Graves, on account of his great experience played a good game behind the bat. Hackett held down Hrst with both feet, which makes it needless to say that it was completely covered. Jack Gardiner at second picked up everything, even the grass. He has never yet decided how far that home run went. Herring covered short in a very creditable manner, his throwing to first being fine. Cooper at third was handicapped by a fever which finally compelled him to stop playing altogether: His place was credibly filled by Crain, who up to this time had been an unknown quantity. The outfield was very fast and must be given credit for some very clever work. WVhipple, Wfinston and Rockwell were absolutely sure on fly balls, andlit was always a relief to see the ball go their way. Meals, although not playing in any of' the games, immortalized himself by hard, conscientious and cheerful work in practice, where he was especially valuable in the catching department. 5 The outlook for the season of IQO4 is bright. Every man on the '03 team is still in the corps with the exception of Graham, whose position as pitcher will be hard to fill. The pleb'e class does not contain much material, which compels ns to 160 depend upon last year's squad for our team. The one problem to solve is that of developing a first-class pitcher and Carter will probably fill that position very nicely. Hackett, ,O4, has been elected captain, and Lieut. Kromer has been ap pointed base-ball representative by the A. A. A. W' ith his spirit and enthusiasm instilled in the men, we ought to turn out a fast team, for never has the outlook been brighter.

Q Rchurasou 0 N May I7, IQO,I, with a squad of 21 Cadets, in charge of Lieut. Kromer, ' and accompanied by several officers, VV'est Point proceeded to Annapo- lis. Friday night was spent at Baltimore, and on Saturday morning the iwim' team took the train to Annapolis. Everyone was well taken care of during the whole stay at that place, and nowhere has a more cordial and sportsmanlike spirit been shown than was manifested by the Navy during the entire visit. The game was intensely exciting throughout. Both pitchers did excellent work and both were given gilt-edged support, but the Army was more fortunate in making its hits at opportune times. In the ninth inning, with a score of 4 to I against them, the Navy made two runs and had a man on second base with two out. Matters were in a precarious condition when the next man knocked a grounder to Abbot. But he fielded the ball cleanly and sent it into jim Hobsonfs outstretched hands, ending the greatest game in the history of the Academies. After the game the team was given a reception by the ladies of the Navy and in the evening everyone attended an excellent hop given by our hosts, the Middies. It was Lieut. Kromer's untiring efforts and his great enthusiasm in our whole year's work that made it possible to win this gamef The score: Army A Navy Players ab r bli sb sh po a e Players ab r l-11 sb sh po a e Zell, r.f. .... , ...... 3 I I I o I o o Hammer, Ib. ...... 4 o o o o 7 o I MacArthur, l.f. ..... 3 I o I o o o o Staton, r.f. .... . ..2 I I I o 2 o I Hobson, Ib. ........ 4 0 o o o 8 I o Read, l.f., ...5 I I o 0 o o o Herr, s.s. .... .... 4 o I I o 2 3 o VVeaver, c. ...5 I 2 o o 7 I o Abbott, 2b. .... 4 I 2 I o 4 4 o Childs, s.s., ........ 5- o 2 o, oi I I I Hackett, c. .... 4 o 2 o o 6 2 I Long, 3b. .......... 4 o I o' o 5 3 o Cooper, 3b. ..... 3 o I o o I I o Smith, C.

Um- pire: Mr. Snyder CNational Leaguej The next year, IQO2, the Navy team came to NW est Point, and evened matters up by beating us in a well played game. Although their first class had graduated early, they were permitted to play such members of the class as were on the team. The Middies arrived the day before the game, and practiced on our held that afternoon. This practice was exceedingly good and showed that they were well coached in all the fine points of the game. The West Point team was poorly chosen, several of our best players being compelled to sit on the bench. This, to- gether with our errors, directly explains our defeat. Raudenbush and Graham again pitched excellent games, and had the latter been properly supported, there would have been no doubt as to the result, This game evened up the series, and as no game was played in IQO3 on account of the strained relations between the two Academies, the series still remains a tie. There is every reason to believe that the game will be played as usual this year. TW e have a strong team, with Lieut. Kromer at the head, and we ought to break the tie in our favor.

Notwithstanding the fact that the continued 'dry weather had so hard- ened the plain that training was 'almost impossible, two new records were made: 10 seconds for the 100 yd. dash and 52'sec0nds for the 440 yd. dashg very creditable time indeed, considering the kind and amount of training and the condition of the track. The class of 1905 won the meet, Daly and Hammond taking four iirsts, a second and a third 5 1904 was a close second, with 1906 and 1903 third and fourth respectively. Two new events were run off, the half-mile and mile run, and the track was laid out in an oval form-two great improvements over preceding years. It is earnestly to be hoped that these improvements are only the forerunners of others-such as unlimited entries and a system of points by which only three places count. In this way the Annual Field Meet at VV est Point will be put on a level with others of its kind at the colleges. SUMMARY OF EVENTS 100 yds. dash. 1. Hammond, I. S. C055. 2.

K6-4. 6-3, 64 GL FEW years ago golf was played by a very few cadets, not being consid- ered strenuous enough for most of them. But gradually it has increased fg,..6,4. in favor, until now it is necessary to dress in armor for protection from c-3 -:ag , 0-U-lj' -0 stray hits. And it matters not whether you go to Fort "Put," Flirta- tion or out on the links, this method of defense is absolutely neces- sary. During Camp VV. E. Shipp the interest in the game was given an added impulse by a tournament, which was held by the classes of 1904 and 1906. The A. A. fxj offered two very pretty prizes which were won by Holderness, R. W., '04, and Thompson, M. H., '06. The result of the tournament was as follows: First Round 1. Holder-ness, R. W., '04 2.

Cavalry horses served in place of ponies and evenipad saddles were not available until 1900. Tn 1900, however, about thirty Westerii ponies were bought and with the Class 1903 the tirst real in- terest was shown. This class represented the Academy in two games with Squadron A, of N. Y. Although beaten, the showing made was very sat- isfactory indeed. In the spring of 1903. some twelve new ponies were bought and our class was the first to take a lively interest in the game. Twenty or thirty men played dur- ing the summer and fall of 1903. Practice was regular and considering the nature of the game, very satisfactory progress has been made. VV e had no out- side games, but expect some in the spring. The material offered was very promis- ing indeed and among such men as Robins, VVilson, A. H., VVimberly, Swift and -Koch there should be no trouble in picking a team capable of making a showing creditable to the Academy. Too much credit cannot be given Col. Treat in the development of the game at the Academy. As an excellent horseman and an enthusiastic polo player of exceptional skill, he has done everything in his power to encourage the game. Capt. Macdonald has also taken great interest in our work and has exerted him- self to help us. All the progress that we have made is due to these two officers. T Polo should be encouraged at the Academy, cultivating as it does, those characteristics indispensable to an oficer. Qwing to the lack of time, we can hardly hope to reach the standard set by some of our clubs, but we should and will be able to compete with the college teams on at least even terms. OLO at the Academy dates from 1895, though at that time it hardly de- . . -. . ,,,, W- rrfwyt' " .W ,'24rf'.. ,Q -U":a:'f'-,',,' , Q44-..-, -f!A,,-- -ef -.af ff? , A- J fx. a4...fx ,. 1 ' . f 'jf' T- -af:-cafe ,iii -I PI, Cfsii l f llfe .

The object has been individual development in strength and staying pow- ers. With this idea in view Cadets with all physical qualifications, many with no intention of even training for running, have turned out. The longest run, held during the fall of 1902, was over eleven and one half miles. The squad consisting of from live to twenty members, was lead by Stil- well, '04, The runs have been conducted over nearly all the roads and rough paths on and adjacent to the Reservation, following Stony Lonesome, circling the neighboring hills, reaching Long Pond, and passing Limits on the Cornwall road. Two paper chases were held with very good success. During the past fall several road races were held. The run via Eagle Valley Road from the Gymnasium to the East end of Long Pond and back was made in seventy minutes, reducing the record of IQO2 by six minutes. Though started under opposition and discouragement, this sport has made rapid progress. In all over fifty men have been out. Among the weaker men, the benehts have been very marked, while several runners, who have shown up best in held meets, owe their development almost entirely to this cross-country work. ' I76 .

I , , a"'1"'E'2' 1904, and with the assistance of Lieut. lxoehler, We finally obtained the material and proceeded to form a team, An exhibition game was lirst played in order to introduce the game to the residents of the Post, most of whom had never seen a contest of this kind. This paved the way for a game with the Yonkers Y. M. C. A., which was defeated by the score of 54 to 10. This was the only game played in IQO3, but it had the desired result of giving to basket ball a recognized place among the games now played at the Academy. It is hoped that in the future the A. A. A. will appoint a representative for this branch of athletics, and subscribe the funds necessary for games with other large colleges. For IQO4 we have a schedule of live games, the l'-11'SlI of which was played on january 30, 1904. and resulted in a victory for XVest Point. Team i HACKETT, 1904, Capfcrnz.

No wonder, that long- ago the Corps began the practice of celebrating this happy time by more adequate means than a "long corps yelll' and mutual congratula- fi 5 5:4 tions. The first Iooth Night Entertainment was held in.the.Dialec- A5303 tic Hall and when we consider the limited facilities which it offers we may surmise that the affair was rather unpretentious. 'For lffbjig' years the presentation of an original play was the form of enter- Efffs tainment. For several years prior to 1903 this was departed from T -a play was still the xattraction, but it was not an original pro- duction. Last year when the "Caprices of Cupid" was put upon the Cullum stage every one was delighted with the return to the old plan. This year we went one step farther. Not only was the play the work of a first classman-Copp-but all the music was written by Gruber and the performance was a credit to every one connected with it. Both authors spent a great amount of thought and energy to insure the success of the play. Q The musical comedy, "The Elopersf' was presented to the usual talented and critical audience on the evening of March 5th, The play had to be put off to this late date on account of some of those delightful lectures which we all enjoy so tremendously 'The numerous local hits kept every one laughing-scarcely a humorous event of the preceding twelve months escaped attention. In barest outline, the plot was as follows: Colonel Van Speckhard is delivering a lec- ture ini astronomy at Trophy Point. Two sons of Mars, Romulus and Remus, land there in an air-ship and while they are making an inspection of the Post before continuing their journey, the Col. and his satellite, Vinkleman. enter the air-ship to examine the machinery. As luck would have it, they start it off ac- cidentally and away they go to Mars. Romulus and Remus, since they cannot 179 escape, fall in love with Ina and Nina Gayspark and with the help of Artesia, who claims to be a fairy, they succeed in their amours. The girls, however, are locked up by their mother, who does, not approve of "cadetting" and so Cupid is foiled for a while. , The Col. and Vinkleman, upon arriving on Mars, are arrested by Michael Schlatz and condemned to death by the King unless they can make him a gown more ornate and gaudy than the one he now possesses. They get their heads to- gether and produce a dress-coat, with the aid of Romula and Rema, daughters of the King, with whom, of course they fell in love. The King dons this instru- ment of torture and faints away in violent agony-the two prisoners escaping. iitfhey return, disguised as booksellers, to the court, where the king is making merry prior to his departure for the Earth in quest of his sons. Romula and Rema, having put a sleeping powder in the wine, the lovers steal an air-sliip and elope to the earth. The King accompanied by Mercury, his Prime Minister and Michael Schlatz, his Chief of Police, pursues them. Upon arrival the King falls in love with Mrs. Gayspark. Here the fun begins. Every one tries to elope with some one else. As luck would have it again, they all choose the same ren- dezvous and time. Naturally an exciting melee ensues. As the Post quarter- master supplied but one air-ship, this simultaneous eloping was impossible, but as usual, everything ends happily with everybody satisfied " 'cept poor old Mer- cury." . , The parts were very well taken, some of them unusually so. Gruber, as the Dutch Professor, was a conspicuous success. To see him scratch his head with his left thumb and, with a perplexed look inquire of Remus, 'Have you any fever,' reminded one strangely of sick-call. His part was well conceived and admirably executed. Moller kept the crowd holding their sides throughout the play. His clever facial expressions and his inimitable gestures were one of the best features of the play. His scenes with O'Vinan in the first act and with Reina in the second were simply ludicrous. Copp made a king, the vainest of the vain. His part was difficult to handle, but as in everything he has ever attempted. he covered himself with glory-and paint. Wilson, E. M., as "Mercury," was beyond doubt as good a coon as ever trod the stage. Wlietlier the Prime Min- ister of Mars is a f'coon" or not must remain a mystery for many years to come. Then there was Michael Schlatz, with his vengeful club, his brogue and his walk! Everyone knows what Dew's abilities are and on this occasion he passed his elastic limit and received a permanent set with the audience. And then the girls! Richardson, R. C., McDonald, Donahue and Seager! 'Twould be hard, indeed, to find more bewitching, entrancingly lovely maidens than these four made! Dainty, coquettisli. winsome lassies they made for their difhcult parts. Need- 180 less to say each one had a suitor waiting at the stage door after the show. Mc- Kay made 'a sweet little fairy, rather airy in some cases, but never quite so light that we would be compelled to turn off the calcium light. Endress and Donavin struck off their character to a nicety, while Davis, R. I-I., and Nagle, handled their small parts well. ' Campbell, as Romulus, made an ardent lover, and spooned as only Campbell himself can. Reynolds, as Remus, did finely and made the hit of the evening by his singing. In closing, the chorus must be mentioned. Drilled and watched by Simpson, I-I. L., the musical director, they worked hard and performed their task admirably. Space does not permit a more extended enumeration of all the side features. All did well, even the audience, with their timely applause, and therefore the whole show was an unqualihed success.

Slowly but surely we pass them by. VVe persistent- . ly grind away and near our goal-The Army. f-iiiffi Grders, previously published, named our First Class encamp- wb ment, "Camp XV. E. Shippf' and set June 13th as the date it was to be occupied. VV e made the usual preparations on the evening of the 12th-bundles that outrivaled those of a crowd of emigrants at Castle Garden-and waited for the morrow. Vlfell, the morrow changed our plans. How it rained! This deluge continued for live days. Un the morning of the 17th, about IO o'clock, the sun was evidently contemplating breaking through the dark clouds, and the Commandant seized the propitious moment. 'We were ordered to move to camp immediately. Again the usual scenes were enacted. Visitors derived much amusement from seeing the motley procession trail across the plain, each man trying to carry all his camp equipage and wardrobe in a single trip. It is useless to go into detail. The reader has witnessed and experienced this same thing three or four times. ' Camp Shipp had now become a reality. After we were settled, heaven opened her shower-baths and proceeded to flood the earth. We trusted in our Camp and felt secure so long as it only rained. The two weeks of rest which preceded the schedule of Summer drills were spent in loosening tent cords, wad- ing through mud and Water to the mess-hall and Cullum, and grumbling about the ungrateful weather. But it could not rain all the time. Wlien the drill season 183 began, wonderful to relate, the rain fell not, except during the afternoons and days on which no drills were scheduled. Being always optimistic, we did not consider the drills all work. Even double-timing around the muddy cavalry- plain offered some fun-we have been told. Breaking bronchos in the corral, breaking trail handspikes at artillery drill, breaking in the hospital and un- willingly breaking out, breaking golf clubs on the links, breaking five dollar bills "to give the kid a quarter," breaking our backs pulling on a pontoon oar, breaking ladies? hearts and persistently and continuously breaking regulations made our camp a Record Breaker. . Besides the time spent in Camp Shipp we have fond recollections of two other camps during the Summer. The Hrst was the 7th Regiment Camp at Peekskill. One hundred and twenty-five strong, booted and spurred, made an early morning march down the Hudson and attacked the New Yorkers, I2oo in number, who were strongly intrenched. in their camp. They valiantly defend- ed their position, but the able assistance of our Gatling Guns so efficiently served and a timely dash of a platoon of cavalry through a submerged road, put the enemy to llight and their camp was ours. They received us with open arms- sort of an unconditional surrender. This was so utterly without conditions that in the midst of our spoils we were unceremoniously mounted and hustled back to 'W est Point. Our commanding officer realized that we had not yet studied Inter- national Law and therefore feared that we might begin to pillage and plunder. This vivid experience was at the beginning of the Summer. Such a beginning 184 surely presaged the coming weeks to be likely ones, abounding with more ex- citement and pleasure. VV'e resumed our usual routine of camp life, along with the numerous morning drills, we chased and hunted the elusive golf-ball on the hottest after- noong we thronged to the tennis courts and gave the sun's rays better opportu- nity to place those deceiving blossoms upon our noses 5 not getting sufficient exercise at pontoon-drill, we would 'row over to Cold Springs at night g and after taps we spent many hours struggling in vain with the Wfest Point mosquitoes in the summer garden. In the middle of the night, not a sound disturbing the re- pose of Nature save the splash of a side-Wheeler ascending the river, the sentinel walking his lonely beat, would be startled by some restless slumberer scream- ing out, "Hi yi! I-li yi !" Far down the company street another cadet, awaking from a terrible dream, shrieks, "More rain! More rain!" Again silence ensues and the sentinel's heart is recovering its normal beat. Suddenly, there is an awful sound issuing from "A" company. A first-class man has been suffering from a horrible nightmare. I-le tries to rid himself of the frightful hallu- cinations and cries out in his agony, "Double Time!" The effect is wonderful. That cry penetrates the ear of every inmate of the camp. The guard turns out in haste, the sentinels are heard challenging unseen objects and persons, the camp rises "en massef' and seeks the unfortunate 'mortal who gave vent to this most inopportune "shriek" Vengence is meted to him when found and the camp again becomes still and quiet. I Witli blowing of trumpets, clanking of sabers, half suppressed sighs from the ladies and a few cadets, we again left the post. Moving up the Eagle Valley road we covered about twelve miles and bivouaced near Stockbridge. This bivouacing was a peculiar experience and consisted mostly in grooming, feeding, watering, grooming and more grooming of horses, along with a few incidentals that we discovered. In the evening some of the men attended a "hunting" dance at a near-by summer house 5 uniform for cadets, riding trousers, leggings, spurs, gray shirts, black ties and campaign hats, that for ladies not prescribed. The remainder of us attended the horses on the picket line and "forage" for our- selves. This "forage" in most cases was only obtainable after long and weari- some tramping over the country, but nothing daunted, we obtained it. At day break next morning, we rode down into Pleasant Valley Qwhere strangely enough, the sights were familiar to some of usj and then striking the Erie R. R., we pushed on at a rapid gait. About noon we arrived in the Park and were allowed to graze in the track enclosure and slake our thirst at the water- ing trough. By some mistake we were not compelled to groom our horses at this halt. After refreshing ourselves in the bright sunlight Cioo degrees F. in 185 the shadej We mounted our steeds and turned our faces to the East, where lay our little bivouac at Stockbridge. Stopping only about an hour to allow the men to bathe in the lake, we made good time and soon came out on the Erie R. R. Then there arose a terrific rain storm. The rain coats which we carried on our saddles were useless. Those of us who didn't bathe in the lake took a shower bath at this time. The raincoats actually prevented the Water from roll- ing off our clothes by absorbing it. By the time we arrived at Stockbridge the fickle sun was sinking behind the hills and, save the immediate camp and beaten roads, there were no traces of the heavy rain. The night was spent in the same mud, mirth and good cheer of the preceding evening and incidentally also in the same clothes. Witli appropriate ceremonies we named our bivouac "Camp Methusef' This was the unanimous choice of the class. So many amusing incidents marked these few days that it is needless to tell them. Willie Harris, during his tour on picket guard, with his "Ough! Oughl VVhoa, Whoa, there l" disturbed our sleep. The horses picketed to the ambulance, pulled said ambulance down the hill, and the 186 sole occupant awoke to ind himself going to-he didn't know where. Witliin the wagon we heard such sounds that beggar description. XIVTC were entertained with a variety of words in many foreign tongues. The hospital steward was the man in the ambulance. Humpty Hunter under his nom de plume of "Colonel," escorted his staff, consisting of "Majors" Dew and Gruber, "Capt" Parker and "Orderly" Moller down to the "kitchen" and there, about 2 A. M., they enjoyed a regimental mess. This exploit has passed into song. "Hip', Robert disturbing midnight's holy hour by cutting up fence rails, received a pressing invitation from "'Delinquency" to bring the wood in his tent and there cut it. "Hip" politely def clined, also subsided. Many other incidents occurred similar to these, the recol- lection of which will always drive dull cares away and make us cheerful. The trip was enjoyable to all except the poor horses. They were a sorry lot when We were through with them. - Returning to Camp Shipp, july and August were intensely hot, but still we spooned, drilled, danced and attended concerts. As August was nearing its close we naturally wanted to complete our encampment in a most fitting manner. We 187 decided to have a Grand Camp Illumination. "A" company had an "A" at the entrance to its street, towering about thirty feet in the air, bedecked with lan- terns, garlands and tapestries. Wlieii the lanterns were lighted it made a daz- zling spectacle. Their colored minstrels show and street fakir afforded amuse- ., fs . ' .5 16243-vi55.':.:1:::.,.-,-.: 1, " .. ,, ment to the crowd and deserve great credit. At the south end of the street, a formidable bastion smiled through several field guns upon all who wandered there. b ' In "B" company, the visitor found himself in the Far East and saw about him Chinese pagodas and Japanese tea villages. The neat waiters in the tea 188 houses were attractive in their costumes and caused quite a sensation among the ladies. There were a number of ideas carried out in "C" company. Their grotto, in the south end of the street was ably constructed and when the colored lights were burning, the effect was beautiful. In the water were turtles, snakes, frogs and several ducks-nothing could be found to destroy its naturalness. Gaily painted and decorated Indians roamed around the street. Several tepees were located by a roaring camp fire and some distance away an old -prairie schooner had halted for the night 3 the occupants had their supper cooking in the pot over the fire and were not in the least disturbed by the close proximity of the Indians. "D" company, containing several men who intend to take the Engineers, con- structed a double-lock bridge. On it was placed a roof-garden on the Anheuser- Busch style. By winding stairxvays you reached the top and here refreshments were given to those who relied on the ability and skill of the Engineers. A huge swing was also provided for any one desiring this form of amusement, and at the entrance to the General Parade a beautiful fountain gushed and sparkled. There Were many attractive sights in "E" company. Looking at their log cabin, you were immediately on some plantation and nothing to make it realistic was lacking. The proverbial mule was tied to the door. A watch dog slept in a nearby barrel-flour barrel so they say. A coon hide was nailed on the side of the cabin and several darkies, "a la Newburgf' furnished banjo music and songs the entire evening. The Grecian Arch erected at the entrance to the street was of a beautiful design and attractive appearance. . "P" company had quite an array of brilliant ideas and they were all well executed. By a street parade through the camp, they drew the crowd into their street about 9 P. M. Up to this time admission had been denied to all. Passing through a guarded gate, the crowd entered a pine forest. At the north end a waterwheel about three feet in diameter was rapidly revolved by an overshot stream. Entering a cave in the side of a wooden cliff you passed into a laby- rinth that turned and doubled in amazing fashion. The successful ones emerged into a delightful little retreat. The southern part of the street was arched throughout by means of a long and gaily festooned archway, terminating in a brilliantly lighted dome. Wlien the street was illuminated it was unsur- passed in point of beauty. A platform had been placed in the dome and here a "Great Variety Show" followed the street parade. Allin all, 'twas a great success. The next morning, every one was up and doing for the great parade. Some say that the ladies at the hotel saw from their keep a band of half naked barbarians running and cavorting all over the camp. Naturally, one would expect such an opinion from the unsophisticated or those who cannot appreciate art on the Grecian or "Ikey" Farnsworth style. 189 ef " - ...::25f1e:1J.-: , -N ,:f:xf-r-fr :?'M1:l:"I-N 98:5-': 1q.1:xf1,r-.1-.Q'5'f'9" .- Mf,ff:Pv:3-gtfvif' X V, , - Qu N:-3.N1,.x35 -,-.-fx-,q.

Shipp, surely the wettest Qexternally and internallyj, hottest and breeziest camp that ever was, with the usual crowd of "camp followers and retainers" we marched back to barracks. "Hi-Yi! Hi! Yi! Never again !" To all of us those summer days were the sources of stories and jokes unceasing, recollections of many night-mares and strong bonds of friend- ship. A place Where we successfully mixed recreation and Work, sugar and lem- onade, seltzer water and-numerous other liquid diets, and in consequence ob- tained and enjoyed a happy summer vacation at the very reasonable rate of fifty- three "skins" per Week. .

Aye, even in the uttermost reaches 5.73 of the Castle, beyond the northernmost sally port, wherein ruleth Veazey the Vain, was it born. And lo, the confederation erected unto itself two leaders, to wit, Roderick the Reckless and Pee-Ar, ' 'hve F and in sooth they were mighty meng and for lieutenants they chose 4455, Carl the Cunning and Silas the Sly, whose wiles were known throughout all the region of the West Points. Now it was the custom of these young men to rise up in the midst of the second watch, and gird themselves in gaudy trimmings and trophies of the chase, andbetake themselves out from their lairs into the open court, which men do call the Area, and there to make merry in the moonlight. Yea, even whilst the O. C. slumbered, and the O. D., pounded joyously his ear, would they frolic-after the manner of young goats in the spring-time-until they grew weary of the minuet and the timbrels. Then would they gently, and with great stealth enter 203 that region wherein ruled Henry the Hilarious, also surnamed the Hopoid, and the region wherein abode Vogney the Villainousg aye, even unto the domain of Roger, the Assinine, penetrated they.. And, having attained unto the uppermost chambers, they would begin the game of horse-play and fill the night with hide- ous noises, to the end that the young men who dwelt therein, being rudely awak- ened from their slumbers, would tear their hair and beat the air with their clenched fists and utter curses on the heads of Roderick the Reckless and Pee-Ar. And men say that he who cursed most wickedly was Humpty the Drunkardg but that is as may be. Now, all this was goodly sport and for many moons did it provide the young men of Veazey the Vain with such princely pasture, that at length they marveled whereat the other young men came not out to make merry with them. Hence, they murmured unto themselves, and said one, "Let us go straightway and bid the young men of Henry the Hilarious to join us, for, verily, they are men of goodly stature and peradventure, they may add new zest to our games." In accordance they journeyed straightway to the regions of Henry, which lie over against the House of Tenths, and arousing the young men therein, addressed them in this wise, "Get thee up, we beseech thee, and come forth from your kennels, that we may hold carnival in the open Court." But the young men of Henry the Hilarious liked well their ease, and would fain lie abed, aye, even unto the sounding ofthe culverin in the morning were they wont to lie, so no man moved. Then it was that Pee-Ar taunted them, saying, "Art boning make in March that ye will not come hence or be ye bluffed of the German that ye fear to make merry P" Now this vexed the young men of Henry exceedingly and they grew wroth and took Council together, saying, "So, we must needs put forth a delegation to join these barbarians in their tournament, lest we become humbled, in the eyes of these men of Veazey the Vain, which would be a grievous thing." But when they came to determine who shouldst go forth there was much diversity of opin- ion. "For," quoth one, Uwe must in sooth send out our most crafty men in order that we may keep pace with Roderick the Reckless and Pee-Ar, and be not an ell-pe in the formation." Hence they cast votes to Hx the choice and when the votes were reckoned, it was found that he who had received the greatest portion was one Williain the Red, a man famed for his cunning, and who abode with Sandy the Circus-rider Cthe same who afterward journeyed at midnight to the Cathedral, with Arthur the Play-actorj. And for a henchman unto William the Red, they chose Christopher the Skywegian, who dwelt with Bigelow the Bum. Then did these two, without delay, gird up their loins, and annoint their heads with dog-water, and make ready for the joust. Eftsoons, when they 204 l stood ready to set out, XfVilliam the Red took in his right hand a pail filled with huge stones-even with quartzite and granite was it Hlled-and in his left hand he bore a section of gas-pipe, two cubits long and the thickness of a man's arm. And the stones he took that he, together with Christopher the Skywegian, might cast them heavenward so that, in falling, they shouldst tinkle merrily on the roof of the House wherein is the Boiler. Moreover, with the pipe did he purpose to deliver lusty blows upon the stairways, thinking by this to emulate Roderick the Reckless. As the pair thus bravely arrayed stood forth, a murmur of ad- miration burst from the lips of the young men of Henry the Hilarious, and to their eyes came a look of triumph such as lighteth up the countenance of an L. P. when she pranceth into the room of the hop. "Of a verity," quoth each man to his neighbor, "this seemeth a goodly pair, mayhap they may e'en perform such stunts as will outstrip these border ruffians who dwell under the hill." p Then softly and without more ado did the company take the road, and at their head strode Roderick the Reckless and Pee-Ar, and in their rear was Silas the Sly together with Carl the Cunning, but in the midst, aye, even in the very center, went William the ,Red and Christopher the Skywegian. And as they journeyed they leaped high into the air, and lfVilliam shook fiercely the pail wherein were the stones, and with the pipe he dealt blows in the air even as does the Captain of the Battery when he perceiveth a young man who tieth up the drill. And proceeding in this wise the merry-makers had but reached the cen- ter of the open court, wherein the young men of ill repute were wont to walk on Saturday afternoon 5 and Pee-Ar had but begun to admire the effect of the har- vestmoon on the hair of Vlfilliam the Red-which was, indeed, surpassing beautiful-when a strange thing befell. Now, it so fell out that the Quilloid of the Red-sash for this day was one Scott, known as Riley the Rude, and he was of a verity, of the most war-like nature, and a man such as young children shoiuld shun, but of him it sufficeth to say that he did dwell of his own will, with Matthew the Sep. Now this man, having caused the tom-tom to be beaten for the second time, between the Ioth and 11th hour, also having witnessed that the lights of the young men hadst been placed under a bushel, had slunk to his cell and made himself ready to rest. Howbeit, ere he yet slumbered, there assailed his ears the hideous howlings of Roderick's men as they sported in the Area! Hence was Riley the Rude con- strained to get him up and again Wind on the Red Sash, and truly his sayings as he did so were most unseemly. Then having attained unto the open court, he tried most valiantly, and with many wiles, to lay hands on the cohorts of Roderick and Pee-Ar, and his threats were most fearful. And Riley needed to take but one man, for, lo, it is a usage in the Castle that if a single one be taken whilst en- 205 gaged in horse-play, he must needs make known to the Great Man, the titles -of those who sported with him. But e'en though Riley's strategy was most diabolical, yet it compared not with that of Pee-Ar and his hordes, for whilst Riley was here, Pee-Ar was yonder, and in the end did Riley the Rude pant so that his very tongue hung out, and he foamed at the mouth and blasphemed unrighteously. Now, it happened at length, that Riley, having wearied himself in bootless pursuit, did betake himself, during a lull in the pastime, within the shadows of the House of the Boiler, and there having hidden himself cunningly, did await the pleasure of Roderickls men. And even whilst Riley lay hidden, behold, from out of the first principality of Henry the Hilarious, there appeared that strange assemblage, of 'which there has already been mention. E'en as though guided by some ill star, the young men bore down directly on Riley the Rude, who stood silent on the night and moved not. Eftsoons, while there yet remained betwixt Riley and his prey but a scant margin, he uttered a weird, uncanny cry and hurled himself full at the com- pany. Now, Roderick and Pee-Ar, being not unfamiliar with such happenings, faded away in the night, and together with all their band escaped fsave in- deed Silas the Sly, who tied up the signals most grievously and was capturedj. But not so with Williaiii the Red and Christopher the Skywegian. These, being accustomed to the gentle and maidenly pastimes of Henry's portion of the Castle, knew not whither to turn, and whilst they stood thus thrusting out their tongues and twirling their thumbs in terror, Riley the Rude closed with them, yard arm to yard arm, and grasping in his right hand Williaiii the Red and in his left hand Christopher the Skywegian, he led them toward their kennels, mock- ing them the while and saying, 'fGet thee back, damsels, to thy needle-work and no more essay to play the parts of men. Verily, at this sport your rank is as high as a platter of slum at a furlough banquet. Get abed and rest, for ere this thing is over I vveen the time will come when thou wouldst rest most wil- linglyf' And Williaiii the Red and Christopher the Skywegian lifted their voices' and wept, yet went they straightway to bed, for in fact the fear of Riley the Rude was heavy upon them. ' ' The next Saturday there did appear, among the armed men who walk the open court, two new conscripts, and lo, the countenance of each bore a look of one who is caught in his neighbor's sheep-fold taking therefrom a young lamb. In the papers of the Captain of the Guard was writ: "On that post which is numbered I6 shall walk William the Red, and on that post which is numbered I7 shall Walk Christopher the Skywegiang and hark ye not to their Q06 ' murmurings, neither let any man disturb them until there remaineth but ten minutes ere the evening eulverin sounds." And in this wise, whilst the Great King ruled in the Kay-det Store and James the jovial sat high upon the throne of his vassal fief, the Mess Hall, didst terminate the midnight wanderings of Roderick the Reckless and Pee-Ar. at THE APPLICATION OF THE CAMBRIA TO THE HOP To determine the line of conduct when asked, "Chl Say, can't you take this with a iiendish femme ?"

Never since the day ' on which we beat Chicago had there been such a furor. A shout- ' ing, struggling knot of men surrounded an object which had been Q found by Hilarious Henry in front of the boiler-house. Men came I pouring from all parts of barracks for a look at this weird thing. X3 EA, From the 5th and 6th and the two angle divisions the gentle chil- dren laid down their toys and rushed out from their nurseries. Ei - The paths leading from the Ilth and 12th divisions were black with t T' the wild, unkempt men who make up that barbaric horde called "F" Co. Surmises were rife as to the nature of the object, around which the mob danced and howled. It was oval-shaped, about the size of a foot- ball, hardness 1.3, rhombohedral crystals, conchoidal fracture and color shading through white, blue, green, red and black, though usually light brown, streak cherry red. Hilarious Henry could make nothing of it, neither could Sandy Mc- Andrew. Sandy said he had never seen anything similar in Arkansas-but re- fused to leave' as it was the same color as Montgomery. T. Gimp was unde- cided as to whether it was lapis lapizuli-or firebrick, but said he could tell if he had a bottle of acid. Willie Harris believed it to be an important historical dis- covery, for he claimed he could see john Smith's name on it. B. I. Richardson was convinced that if any one would look at it through the coil, looking in the positive direction of the lines of force, he could see that it was calcareous tufa. Grace declared it to be a piece of stalagmite, such as the tablet which nature erected over the grave of the cave man, and swore he could lick any one that disputed it. jim Vifoolnough was just as positive that it was a meteorite-said he could show it to any one in the Ephemeris. Jody Park concluded that it was a section of ia wave-front and "Nap." Riley was of the opinion that it was fossiliferous shale-a remnant of the Paleozoic. At this point Runt Moody butted into the inner circle and shrieked that it was a tenth, and it took six "A" Co. men to-hold him off. At this exciting moment Tam Smart loomed up, and when he caught sight of it, gave a glad cry of recognition. Quickly he knelt beside it while the sun beat down on his bald head, causing the brilliant points to play to and fro in a bewildering fashion. The stillness was intense. Then solemnly rising, the Pride of Hartford said: "Gentlemen, I know what this is-forsooth I see them every day. 'Tis simply a worn-out chew of the brown dropped by Rafe Glass as he went to riding." And the crestfallen crowd slunk homeward. ' , 2II "WHITEY'S" RECORD WALK Gat-her 'round me friends, a tale I bear, V 'Tis the lonesome walk of "Wl1itey" McNair. One Saturday about to return From a six-hour leave-he failed to discern Time's rapid flight-the coming train, The shrieking whistle called in vain. The cause of this you wish to know? Wliy he should be obliging so? The answer to this is always the same, "Chercl1ez la femme"-has passed into fame. Parting in sorrow, poets call bliss, McNair could import some knowledge of this' 1 Standing at the door with the maid close by, "'Whitey" looked sad and said with a sigh: t'The evening comes-the day grows late," Ml must be going-or else b-ache" 'KA skin-Farewell, one moment more." "There is no hurry-stay-I imploref' The friend is pleased,- grants the request, Remains a moment with her guest. He said "Good-night," then, with rapid stride, Ran to the station for his homeward ride just as his train was steaming away. 'Tis the way of the spoonoid so people say. Misfortune now dispelled his joy, The train had gone-but not the boy. To 'West Point he must go with haste. So quickly down the track he raced, Not stopping' once for a parting view Of the pretty maiden he had bid adieu. Eight miles to walk-sad truth indeed, a For railroad ties fast travel impede. But still he kept on-unhappy, weary. Night had come-dark, cold and dreary, Along the river's winding path His rapid steps betrayed his wrath. Then in the shadow of a hill, Save for the traveler all was still, No night-bird's call, no tinkling bell, Footsteps only on the silence fell. 2I2 Slowly the telegraph poles were passed, Nevertheless he was Walking fast. Quite despondent, ill-natured and sore, 'lnoughts of cons and demerits galore VVoulcl not dispel his feelings tense, Wotild not prevent his total absence. Onward he plods with aching feetg Ill fares the man that he should nieet. Language was used to alleviate His strained condition-present state. All things must end-the journey closed. Before the traveler 'West Point reposed. He hastened on to sign his return, l-low big an absence also to learn, Fifty-six minutes he was late, The O. D. hendishly began to state. Wea1'ily then he trudged to his roomg No reason though for all this gloom. Throughout the Corps it was the talk Of McNair's eight mile record walk.

VVhen e'en this thought has lost its power, "I have to bone." Wlieii he can take his only chair, And raise his feet into the air, Rejoicing while he's sitting there, That he's alone. O, happy man who does but dare To take a smoke. Who looks at danger everywhere, As just a joke. Who sees the smoke above him rise, Form Wonders there before his eyes, A sight no smoker can despise. Beloved smoke! In smoke he sees his happy home So far away. He sees the fields he used to roam In childish play. He sees the smoke now form a frame, A face appears without a name, But then, to him it's all the same. O pretty smoke! Forgetting all, he leaps to seize That face so fair. Q His arms have closed with greatest ease On naught but air. The picture quickly fades from sight, He smashes in his upward flight, The mantel in his Welsbacli light. O cursed smoke! 214 IN COMMEMORATION SEPTEMBER 4, 1903, 6.19 P. M THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS 'Twas the night before Christmas, 'twas still as a mouse, W'hen six tacs assembled within the guard-house. Each one was supplied with a lantern bull's-eye, To him' the cadets, they said they would try. The clock struck eleven as these burly men, To begin their inspection, came out of their den. They were sure that the boys they would find out of bed, And quite likely that some would be having a spread, They proceeded with caution in mounting the stair, All rooms were inspected with greatest of care. But throughout the barracks they heard not a sound, And skins for the skin-book were hard to bc found. They returned one by one all disgusted and hot, Because no fat skins for their trouble they got. The tac from "B" company was last to appear, W'ith a box in his arm he proclaimed with good cheer: NI didn't get skins but, -my lucky stars," "I captured this box hlled with dollar cigars' "You know the cadets tried to hide them from me," "But I found them behind the hall-stair, you see," "They think I am wooden, but they"l1 End, if you please," 'fThat I am the fox and they are the geese." "I think that this is a most practical joke," "So come all you skinoids, let's all have a smoke." They all lit cigars, they all felt immense, Because they were smoking at cadets' expense. But sad to relate, their joy was not long, For something about them did smell awful strong And all of a sudden a noise filled the air, Swish! Bang! Swish! Bang! Oh, my what a scare. The lights all were out and over the floor, The tacs and cigars, they were lying galore. It'took quite a while before they came to, For in their fright they hardly knew what to do. The cigars had been loaded with powder and salt, To the would-be sly fox they said, "It's all your fault." The Black Book and Blue Book they searched through and t But they searched all in vain for the want of a clue. They could not find out who the culprit might be, For the box had been found in the hall, as you see. Their utter dismay you're unable to pen, They went home much sadder but much wiser men. And I think when old Christmas is coming For the tacs after taps cadets need not fear.

Special Wire to the I-IOWITZER. 'VVAR ITEM-By our special correspondent on board the "Pegasus," off XVest Point, N. Y., Sept. 27, 1903. II.0O P. M. Lights out. An important engagement has just taken place. "General Nap" Riley was seen about 10.15 P. M., with his entire platoon, moving as if to make a frontal attack on the Hotel de Ville, a large asylum of reconcentration, towering from the rocky heights Washed by the turbulent Waters of the Hudson. Owing to the daring and coolness of Private P. Lug Moller, a dashing and peerless scout, who happened to be making astronomical observations near the hedge, the entire party was discovered in time to prevent any serious results. It is expected how- ever, that the whole band will sally forth from their stronghold in the morning and attempt to harass the enemy while at Guard-Mount.

" The Corps " A TOAST DELIVERED BY CADET ROBERT P. HARBOLD AT THE NEW YEAR'S DINNER, JANUARY 1, IQO4 .3 R. Toastmaster, Gentlemen of the Corps of Cadets :-Several things n confront me now and have always appalled me since I have been . asked to respond to this toast. The first is my utter inability, the ' K second is the wide range of the subject, too vast for me to begin Qv i V to cover, and the third is the cynical and too critical part of the 'Sig Corps. , 5' C211 I My inability is evident to all. I realize it just as fully as you , I do. In no single way can I attempt to do justice to the Toast. i Could We hear one respond to this who possessed the eloquence of Demosthenes, the logic of Aristotle, the reasoning of Plato, com- bined with the foresight of Vlfebster, then we, you and I, would perceive and understand many, many questions that arise from time to time in our midst. Many past events of our lives here would then be explained. The future of our Alma Mater would be viewed in a brighter atmosphere. We could then calmly listen to those calamity-howlers who cry aloud that the Corps is going to the dogs since they have graduated, yes, we could calmly listen and then smile at their hallucinations. IV e could also reply to those among us whose esprit de corps seems to have been shaken by the pessimists of our' Institution's future. And then, when our years are through, we could leave this place confident of its prosperity,-the re- tention of its traditions and ideals, and the honor and integrity of its gradu- ates. VV'ould that those wiseacres who from time to time offer suggestions to us and criticize our methods, our actions, and our lives, could be compelled to thor- oughly and impartially study our present conditions,-the revolution through which we have passed, and then would they still rant and rave? They have become blind to actual facts, they disregard the truths taught by all revolutions, moral or political, and unjustly condemn us. Can past institu- tions, past methods of the Corps be suddenly wiped away and in their place put 236 new institutions and new methods without the Corps experiencing the slightest shock or tremor? IN hy, in this assumption we have been paid unknowingly the greatest compliment and tribute. But we can not do this. NN e are only human. We canit replace old ideals by untried and unknown new ones without doubting the wisdom of the change,- without hesitancy and reluctance in making the change. I-Iowever, we are now working out our own salvation and we want to work it out unaided as well as unhindered by any other person, be he graduate or civilian. Gentlemen of the first class, we have seen and experienced nearly four years of the life at the Military Academy. W' e have personally witnessed a great revo- lution in its history. We were, at the most, but silent observers of the active part of this revolution, but now, with the other three classes we are struggling par- ticipants in its reaction. Oftentimes, maybe too often, we despair over this radi- cal revolution and are unwilling to struggle any longer. ' Vlfith us there rests a great duty. NN e must make strenuous efforts to clear the dimmed horizon of the Corps' future. We must, by the assistance of all, de- termine our course in these efforts. Success-entire, complete and thorough, will not reward our labors, but "half-free and struggling on" will be solace to us when we join the register of graduates. We want to proceed along such lines so that the men in every class can plainly see these lines delineated in our actions. If the path is plainly marked no man will go wandering away. Succeeding classes as they enter will follow in our footsteps and the consequence of this movement will be the freedom of the Corps. One thing may appear to some this afternoon, and that is that I am exag- gerating our conditiong a mere change I call a moral revolution, a few incon- veniences I attempt to have assume shapes of monstrous proportions. But such is not so. Everyone of you frankly confess after thoughtful deliberation whether I have made a mountain out of a mole-hill, whether I have exavffferated one iota. Do this honestly and I am positive of your reply. bb i Let us rid ourselves of all traces of pessimism we may now have. Our old ideals were good ones. We hated to lose them, but their fate is inevitably sealed. The future alone can now be consulted. If some of us bemoan the lack of class sentiment and the total absence of Corps spirit,-I reply your sources of grief are unfounded. Either you measure us all by your own standard of hypocrisy or you misjudge us entirely as a Corps. With you rests the question of the Corps' future. The enormity of your re- sponsibility should impress you. Can men in new classes be convinced that the 237 Corps is gradually recovering from the reaction when you go around bevvailing its condition, deploring its state, and end your tale of Woes with the expression, "And I don't give a damn ?" Can you go to any outsider and tell him your trou- blesg-tell him how the Corps is not what it once Was, Without implicating your- self? VVhy, you even lack loyalty to the place, tothe institution, as Well as the least semblance of class and Corps spirit if you do such a thing. Wliat can We expect from other classes When they constantly hear outbursts like I have cited? The influence of the first class should not be of this character. I am glad to say this influence is very slight, but it must be entirely eliminated. You, gentlemen of the second class, you, by nearly three years' association with various classes at the Academy, have learned Well its useless struggle against fate. You see your duty plainly marked. I only hope you may be far more suc- cessful in the fulfillment of this duty than we have been. IQO6 will succeed you, follow in your trace-do as you have done, and they in turn followed by 1907. If we, 1904, have made mistakes, you, IQO5, must correct them, and you, IQO6 and 1907, must not go back into the same old errors. The only changes to be made are those which institute improvements. Never must honor and sentiment retrograde. VVe must all consider ourselves jealous guardians of the Corps as well as members of it. . In conclusion, several questions naturally present themselves. Wliy they should be suggested is evident to all. First-Will we in after years, when referring to the Corps of Cadets, or coming in contact with it, will we, by unjust and odious comparisons with the Corps of past years, seek to lower its then present standard, deride its spirit and forget our ovvn birthright? Second-VV'ill We now, for the sake of grievances against some, sacrifice our institution's sentiment and honor? Third-Do we fully realize, now and at all times, the duty We ovve to our- selves and the Corps? ' The future of the Corps is assured. I am confident of its success. The name it has inspired in past years will be perpetuated in future generations. V The Corps! Bareheaded salute itg VVith eyes up thanking our God. That we of the Corps are treading Whe1'e they of the Corps have trod. They are here in ghostly assemblage, The men of the Corps long dead, And our hearts are standing attention Wliile we wait for their passing tread. We, sons of to-day, salute you- You sons of its earlier dayg 'We follow, close order, behind you, Wliere you have pointed the wayg The long gray line of us stretches Through the years of a century told, And the last man feels to his marrow The grip of your far-off hold. Grip hands with us now, though we see not, Grip hands with us, strengthen our hearts, As the long line stiffens and straightens, VVith the thrill that your presence impartsg Grip hands-though it be from the shadows While we swear, as you did of yore, Or living or dying to honor The Corps, and the Corps, and the Corps! -REV.

HE Board of Editors take this opportunity to ac- knowledge the many valuable contributions received during the preparation of the HOWITZER. Many, as you will see, have found their way between its covers: while many, alas, have been "policed" in the hallway, to be there gathered by Louis, the policeman. The efforts, however, were all good, and do credit to the persons who, notwithstanding their many and arduous duties, still found the opportunity to come off " specking " for a time and put their shoulders to the wheel. Editors generally reply, "that your contribution is excellent, but not quite in our line, etc." With the HOWITZER, however, want of space is the only reason for refusal. lf there are any who prize their contributions so highly as to coerce their saner self into handing them down to posterity, we will be willing to return all such copies, properly blue-pencilecl, and endorsed with an appropriate recommendation by our oflice boy, leemsy. All requests for returns must be accompanied by the necessary postage, plus a pound of Bull, much of which has been consumed in the dreary hours of the night. ln conclusion, we wish to express our thanks not only to those who have so con- sistently "bootlicked" us, but also to those who have so persistently "run it all over" us. 240 diy- ii . 6 vis Our ,Tune has come, Nineteen-Four, The june of our boyhood dreams, We must say good-bye to the dear old Corps, Good-bye to the Gray we shall donno more!

This provision is retroactive and all Army oiicers now insured, in the Prudential, may change their policies so as to secure the bent-:Hts of this concession. This decision will Without doubt be welcomed by present Army holders of Prudential policies as well as by ofxicers who are contemplating taking out policies, and is largely due to the efforts of Mr. A. W. McNeil, manager of the con1pany's Army and Navy departments. Mr. McNeil convinced the officers of the Prudential Company that this concession would mean increased business among Army officers, as its liberality would be appre- ciated. Armymen who are policy holders and who have paid an extra premium in the past in cash may arrange to have same returned, the Company agreeing in case of death of the policy holder to pay his estate all extra premiums paid, and if the insured shall live until the end of the dividend period, and the policy is at that time in force, the Company will pay, in addition to the guar- anteed amount stated in theipolicy, all extrapremiums paid to the Company in cash, together with the accumu- lated dividend then apportioned. Where the premium has become a lien under the policy at 'dve per cent. interest, the lien will be cancelled and no interest will be charged the insured while the lien was in force. Manager McNeil feels sure that oiiicers of the Army will appreciate the liberal action of the Prudential Insurance Company, and that the'Company will more than ever be looked upon as the "Army Ofdcers' Company." A. W. MCNEIL Mgr. Army and Navy Dept. -From Army and Navy journal, january 30, 1904. iv MA E N AMERIC I-IE great house of Tiffany SL Co., Union Square, New York, is famous in every section of the world. Its fame is based on a solid foundation. F or originality, Tiiany SL Co. are unsurpassedg the skill and intelligence shown in the execution of their work are themes for continuous comment, while in artistic detail, and con- scientious care, they are far in advance of European or American competitors. It is not, therefore, a matter for surprise that Kaiser William, of Germany, should become intensely interested in a speci- men of Tiffany 8: Co.'s exquisitely beautiful work-a vase presented to the Frankfort Saengerfest, by the Wealthy New Yorker, Mr. Pagenstecher. When the Kaiser saw this vase, he exclaimed : " Wonderful? Such work cannot be done in Germany! U The Kaiser's habit of bluntly telling the truth, did not please the German silversmiths, who sent a deputation to complain that his assertion was unjust. The Kaiser refused to Heat his words," as they say in Russia, replying to the deputation as follows : "I will give you one more chance! If you fail, I will order my trophies in New York in future." Could any higher compliment, or more substantial recognition, be given to the Hrm of Tiffany 81 Co. ?i Americans are justly proud of this great house, and The Item predicts that " one more chance " will be sufdcient to convince the mighty German Emperor that if he Wants trophies that are the best in all respects--representing the highest accomplishment in originality, art and manufacture-he must give the order to TiH'any Sz Co. -Ediforial-Phz'ZadeMhz'a ffem, 3 October, 1903 V SMITH VVEDSSO -Qi.. ,l.

Cylinder notches are reinforced with hardened steel pieces, to prevent notches from becoming worn by the impact of the cylinder stop against the sides of the notches. All ofthe small springs are spiral, thereby preventing the danger ofbreaking, a defect common to all small flat springs. Lock studs are screwed into the frame, have collars raised above its surface, and,in conjunction with steel bosses milled on the side plate, hold all working parts central and prevent friction. Locking pin works in hardened collar set into frame. Hardened collar set into extractor aad raised above the ratchet teeth. This collar iinpinges upon the collar in frame, prevents the ratchet teeth from coming in contact with the frame, and forms a hardened surface which saves the cylinder from longitudinal wear and loosening. A positive cylinder lock, so constructed that the cvlinder cannot be thrown out when the arm is cocked, or the arm cocked when the cylinder is out, therebv making it absolutely impossible to discharge the arm when not fully locked. Strcangsolid egztractor rod, and boss on barrel to fill space between barrel and rod when pistol is closed,to prevent en ing o rod. Hammer nose so shaped that the blow will be in direct line with the cartridge, thus preventing the copper from being driven towards the bottom of primer, as by the usual raking blow of tne solid hammer nose Barrel screwed into place, brought to perfect alignment by multiplying gauges, and pinned into position. This is a radical improvement over the method of screwing the barrel against shoulders tight enough to draw the stock of ,barrel Cylinder so chambered that the ball on leaving shell fills the front end of cylinder and prevents excessive loss of gas. Stud and spring fitted in the yoke and working into a small detent in the joint, to prevent the cylinder from swinging loosely when the arm is opened. Ease with which the arm can be operated with one hand. Convenience in assembling and disassembling. The head of extractor and extractor stem are made in one piece. It is therefore impossible for the extractor head to turn on stem. Forward cvlinder locking device which holds the cylinder in perfect alignment with barrel and insures increased accuracy. lVlllH6l WESSON, Springfield, Mass. vi GRAND HOTEL BROADVVAY AND THIRTY-FIRST STREET, NEW YORK EUROPEAN PLAN NO HOTEL IS BETTER LOCATED FOR FAMILY AND TRANSIENT PATRONAGE ARMY AND NAVY HEADQUARTERS A FIRE-PROOF ADDITION H5855 5 E CF WM.

Foreign-made gloves sell in this country at. higher prices than domestic. Women think the quality is worth the difference in price. In Europe the people gladly pay a premium for SOROSIS Shoes. ln England the price is S4-.00 per pairg infGermany 54.503 in Canada 54.505 Russia and France 55.00. Everywhere in the United States the price for nearly every style is only 53.50. Do you suppose the best judges of shoes and 'gloves in the world would pay a higher price for SOROSIS if they did not know it was worth it? Nearly one-third of the immense SOROSIS product, is sold abroad. lf the women of this country only knew how good SOROSIS Shoes are, we could never supply the demand.

No. 595 Price, 530.00 Electric Current:Meter With Vane and Small Lead Weight FOR USE IN SMALL STREAMS The importance of correct hydraulic measurements has brought the Current-Meter into general use, and while our Current-Meter, No. 600, has long been recognized as standard for observation on large streams, in recent years there has been a demand for alight and serviceable instrument for use in small streams and irrigation or drainage ditches. For some time, aided by the suggestions of the en- gineers in charge of the hydrographic work of the United, States Geological Survey, we have been per- fecting the small Electric Current-Meter shown in the cut, and listed in our catalogue as No. 617. This Meter, while constructed practically along the lines of Current-Meter No. 600, has the advantage of extreme lightness, weighing only about two pounds.
