Show MIDDIES EXULT AS VICTORIOUS GRIDIRON SQUAD RETURNS HOME There was great rejoicing at Annapolis when the Naval Academy team returned re-turned from New York after its victory over the Army team. Many of the midshipmen stood for two hours in a pouring rain to pay homage to the returning re-turning heroes. When the train arrived players and coaches were seized by the Midshipmen and carried to the old Japanese gong, which, according to custom, was rung in honor of the victory, seven peal being sounded. Each member of the squad, starting with Captain Larson, and of the coaching staff, starting with Head Coach Folwell, was then called upon for a brief address. The celebration was continued In the rotunda of Bancroft hall. The Middles will suffer the heaviest losses in years by graduation next June, as six members of the team belong to the first class. Those who will graduate are : Captain Larsoti, center ; Frauley, right guard ; King and Wled-ern, Wled-ern, tackles, and Cruise and Koehler, backs.
