Once; after the start of "1 he second period. -it seemed that Merrellat, the Army's left end, must cany the ball beyond the Navy's goal for a touchdown, but a fumble of the pigskin by Iceland Hobbes, the West Point left half-back, shoitly afterwards, suddenly crushed the hopes of victory the Army detachment entertained. It was when Leonard tried to punt for Navy in the second or third play of that period that Merrellat, as the ball went too high, blocked it and, seizing it in a grip of steel on the Navy's 40-yard line, started down the held, as though endowed with the winged lieeis of a Mercury, towards the goal of Annapolis. Tie reached the Navy's tifteen-yard line before the fleet-footed Leonard overtook him and bore him to the ground.

After desperate line rushes on the part of the West Point cadets had proved, unavailing, against the armor-plated defense of the midshipmen, there came Hobbes' fumble on the 14-yard line that blasted the Army's chances of scoring.

Yesterday it was J. H. Brown, a Middy from Canton, who turned the'triek. His first goal was frofa the 23-yard mark and his second from the 36, -which equaled therecord of Dalton, the hero. Both these scores were made in the last period after he had failed once at 35 yards and again at 46 yards.

While these two scores were the only ones of the" game, there were three close calls for the Navy, but in none of the three was the Army able, to take advantage, of their opportunities. In kicking the two field goals it was K. P. Gilchrist, of Lutan, who held the ball while Brown booted it cleverly be-tweenthe uprights. And, incidentally, it was these 'two.

Governor Woodrow Wilson is willing to take the oath of office as President of the United States without ostentation on March 4, and that the formal ceremonials that every fourth year attract thousands of citizens to Washiugton be postponed until the last Thursday in April. To that extent he has indorsed the propaganda in favor of a later inauguration, which has been advocated in and, out of Congress in order that the event might be conducted at a time when the weather usually is propitious at the National capital. Many persons have urged the President-elect to "sanction a postponement of' the inaugural ceremonies without realizing that this cannot be done without act 'of Congress and that it is impossible now to change the forthcoming eeremon.so far as the taking of the 'oath' is concerned. Mr. Wilson's however, indicates his sympathy with the later inauguration movement and implies that be will gladly assent to a delay7 of the show features of the event if an agreement to ibis end can be-reached.

The report from Bermuda that President-elect is willing to take the oath on" March "4 and postpone the inauguration ceremonies until the last 'Thursday in April has aroused great interest in Washington. For yearsi efforts have been made to change the dale of the inauguration to the latter-part-of April, at. which time the weather is much more agreeable. There is no law governing the inauguration ceremonies, but as the Constitution fixes March 4 as the beginning of the Presidential term, the ceremonies have always been held on that date. The inauguration ceremonies are held under the direction of a' committee of citizens of "the Distritt of Columbia, the ehairman Ixdng selected by the incoming President.
