The United States Military Academy at West Point is ripe and rich in ath- letic - schievement because of the splendid spirit and training at this institution. In its spirit it is, save for its sister at Annapolis, unique. Its teams represent more than the mere Academy, they are the Army teams and their epirit is the spirit of the corps. For prestize they have _the whole Army record to emulate and for theso reasons the elevens and nines of the Academy wear a big “A” on their sweaters—the “A” of the Army. which is always there. = Em meone has well said that 5 A work, strenuous life, training box Wl]l Tifice breed spirit and loyaity.

Nothing else but this scheme of things enables their football teams ta go - through their schedules eo satisfactorily with o0 _little practice. Meny star football players have re- marked that the Army team was never beaten until the game was over. Col- gate, thrilled with a Yale ‘victory in 1913 and leading the Army 6-0, lost that game 7-6 on the last play—a long run to victory for the corps. Charley Daly, Army coach and player and a Harvard star, claims that the hardest tackling he ever saw was In an Army- Navy game. Indeed, there is evidence college athletic association can thus raise annually $30,000 and show that 100 per cent of its graduates contrib- uted. This is West Point’s record. Until this year not one cent has been received from gate receipts. Then it was felt that a surplus was needed for the conduct of athletics so the money obtained for the sale of some of the Army-Navy tickets—the Army Athle- ticassociation’s share—was used in- stead of turning it over to the Army Relief Society, which had been done for many years. is voluntary subscription list which embraces all graduates of the Academy and all officers who enter £ivil life, some 75 per cent. of whom “West Point and War are hell.” g ‘When re recall that the perfect day at the Academy begins at 5:45 a. m. when the “Hell-cats,” the buglers who sound reveille, blow that call, and closes at 10 p. m—16 hours of high speed—it is not to be wondered at that Sherman’s most famous remark is altered to describe cadet life. Here the mills of the service grind exceedingly fine and so constantly that the product is the very flower of young American manhood, whose love for the Academy, lifetime in scope and shown in so many ways, is but proof that the larger the sacrifice or the harder the road, the greater the spirit as you can see. | L price is the only way to accomplish our-desire, and we are doing it, nhalfin I21-125 Main Syreet $1.25—F.
