Middies Wlere Confident. The Annapolis boys entered the game practically sure of victory, while the West Point Cadets only hoped to win. The Army's victory notwithstanding the strength shown was due more to a misjudged punt by one of the Navy's backs than to the good work of the Army team; but It took advantage of the misplay, and lost no opportunity in making the' score. The Navy's four points, how t ver, were earned by hard and con sistent playing. ... Notable Attended. -Sy The ilay wa Ideal for football and a brilliant crowd was out. On the Bouth stand, the Army side. Secretary of War Wright entertained a laige party in two boxes at midfleld, while direct ly opposite on the Navy side Acting Secretary of the Navy Newberry had a large party of guests who also filled two boxes. Prominent in Wright's box were Representative and .Mrs. Longworth) Assistant Secretary of War, Oliver saw the game with a party from the box adjoining Wright's', In the long rows on either side were to be seen generals and other 'army officers who have won fame and glory in the servl e of the country. Many prominent society people were also in attendance. Miss Ethel Roosevelt cast her fo tunes, with the Navy and had a seat on the enclosure reserved for New berry and bis wife. Among the others In this box were Mrs. Metcalf, wife o ft!? retiring secretary of the navy, tind a number of friends. To their right was the box of Admiral Dewey Hundreds of naval officers .were scat tered in ether boxes, behind the notables on' their resHet!ve stands sat hi solid blocks the midshipmen in blue and the cadets in gray. Scoring Dene Early.' All the coring was done In the early part o fthe first half. The Army kicked off and the navy returned th-; hall after one scrimmage. - The West Point boys then tried the line for no gain and Greble punted. I,ange, th? uterling little navy quarterback came across the field at great speed to catch the punt and to the dismay or the Midshipmen' overran the ball, which struck the ground behind him at the 40 yard line. Quick as a flash Chamberlain, for the Army, who had dashed down tho Held to tackle Lange, picked the ball. tucked it under his arm and dashed away, for the goal line. There was no one near him but Lange and th.; touchdown looked good. But Lang" piiekly got up steam and a stern chase that mas thrilling to the ex treme, went after the spelling Armr man. The Navy Quarterback gained on him and just as C'hatnperlain vat crossing the ten yard line Lang? caught him and brought him down Iiar4 on the Ave yard line. Tremen mi excitement Melted the thousand? of spectators as the teams lined tin for a supreme effort. Dean was giv en the ball and plunged Into the crouching Army men for a good gain, leaving only few inches between the bail and a touchdown. He was again entrusted with the pigskin and this lime he' was Jammed across for the score. Dean also kicked the goal which was a difficult one. Navy Not Dismayed. Th spirited playing shown by the Army did not dismay the Navy, bow erer. and they, went at Vl'mi Point wlih the greatest of confidence. Fej curing ibe nail on an exchange c: kicks It was ' worked by good line backing to the Army's 27 yard line where It was f ambled by C7ay and lost. The Army immediately punted there had been angry muttering against Gleason for furnishing them with the lumber for their barracks. The mill is located in the bilU about three-quarters of a mile from Samburg, and at the request of tlm owner a detail has been guarding the property every night since the warn iiii occurred. It Is reorted that many of the sym pathizers of the night riders around the lake, and no doubt some of the members of the band who have thus far escaped the clutches of the law openly declared vengeance against Gieaaon, and have said that unless stopped funrishlng1 the troops ' With lumber they would Are his property. Sentry Fires Shots. The first attempt made against thy property was last night. One of the sentries around the property saw u man creeping between the lumber piles, carrying what is now believed to be a can of oil. He called upon the man to halt, ami instead of doin so the stranger darted back Into thi shadow of the lumber pile. The sentry ran toward him and the stranger lied. As stated, three or four shots were fired, but owing to the in tense darkness, good marksmanship was an impossibility, and it is no; believed that the would be firebug was wounded. Lieut. Chastaln, of Nashville, who is In chmge of the soldiers on the lake during the absence of Capt. C. H. Rogan, is taking extra precautions, and the guard about the mill and hue ber piles will be doubled. This is one of the Incidents which go to show that night, riding is not at an end by any means in tills county and that it would spring forth afresh and with added violence if It were not for the presence of the troops. ' The. report of Hie affair did uot reach here until this morning, and it caused considerable excitement. Capt. Beij 1 Capell had his men before iiim this afternoon, and in a few well directed words impressed uton them the seriousness of the business which they were now uikui. Kvery precau tion is being taken here and at th? lake, and drastic measures will he adopted If there is the slightest sign of any further disturbance.
