PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 30.—Probably the most distinguished gathering that ever witnessed A foot ball contest in this coun- try and admittedly the greatest crowd that ever entered the gates of Franklin fleld saw Weat Point defeat Annapolla th afternoon, 11 to 6. From the moment that President Roose. | velt and his party ontered the great am- phitheater until half an hour afier the timekeeper had blown his whistle announe ing the ceasation of hostilities there was |a continuous uproar, which has probably | never taken place on any foot ball fleld in | the country., KEven the president and sev- eral members of his cabinet, worked up to n mervous piich hy the egteitement, left their seats in the private box set apart for thelr occupation and took positions in the slde-line benches, which are generally used for substitute players and coaches. There was not a seat unoccupled and hundreds | 81000 around the fleld through the entire zame. The day broke cloudy and threatening, but Just about the time that the pres! dentfal train pulled into the elty the sun broke through the clouds, as though to wit ness the dlstinguished guests. The train bearing the president and the members of the cabinet reachad South street station a few minutes after 10 o'clock. A luncheon | was served on the private dining car and the party at 1:45 started for Franklin fleld, which is but a few sarde from the atatlon. Two lines of police had been drawn up on the sidewalk and the presi- den® and his party marched to the en- trance of the grounds under their escort Appluuse for the Prestdent. The members of the party entered the grounds at the ecastern entrance. Pirst came the president, with Provost Harrison of the University of Pennsylvania on his right and Lieutenant Commander Cowles on his left. They were followed closely by | {halt a dosen Philadelphia detectives, Chief | Wilkle #ad. -several other wowres men, selected for the occasion; Secretary Long, Secretary Root, Postmaster General Smith, Secretaries Cortelyou and Loeb and many army and navy officers. Admiral Dewey had slipped into the grounds al- most unnoticed and had taken a seat in the navy stand. The president's appear- ance was the signal for a tremendous out- burst of applause, which comtinued until he walked down the center of the gridiron and across the fleld to his seat In the north stand The president’s silk hat was hardly on his head five seconds from the time he en- tered the gates until he reached bis seat Hardly had the president been seated whem the navy team entered the grounds. The followers of Annapolls made the grounds shake with cheers and blue and orange flags seemed to be flating every- where, Six minutes later the West Point hoys trotted out and then the black, orange and gray of the army was waved deliriously from the blg south stand.

Ho chose the weat goal, with a slight advantage of the wind, and at 2:16 Graves had kicked oft in the game that was to make foot ball history. From the moment the ball was put into play until the tlme the (imekeeper's whistle blew there was no more interested spectator of the game than President Roosevelt. The game had been in progress less than ten minutes when he left his |@eat in the private box and took up his | [ position on the side-line bench. When | Casad broke fthrough the navy's ltne and | ran sixty-five vards the president arose to his feet excitedly and advanced toward | the gridiron, but returned to his seat a| moment later, when the ball was put in play again. At the end of the firet halt Secretary Root and General Miles ecame across the fleld to escort the president to the army's stand. With Secretary Long and a detective on his right and Secretary Cortelyou, Lieutenant Commander Wain- wright and Secretary Root on his left, President Roosevelt walked across to the south stand and again occupied a seat on the stde line. When the two teams re- sumed play, at 3:28, Daly of the army's team made his great run of 105 yards for a touchdown, restident Getn President Roosevelt jumped to hie fest with an expression of surprise on his face |and, lke thousands of other spectators, | could scarcely realize what a remarkablo | plece of foot ball mechanism Twmly really is that he could make euch a phenomenal run through an entire fleld.
