Evening capital. (Annapolis, Md.) 1884-1910, 1891-11-28
THE ARMY TOO MUCH FOR THE NAVY.

took place this afternoon at the Naval
Academy. The Naval Cadets met the
West Point Cadets TO decide which has
the better foot. ball team this year. II is
the game which the two teams look for
ward to from the beginning of the sea-
son with all absorbing interest, and vic
tory in this contest is dearer TO them
than in any other game they play Only
since last year has the. privilege OF this
interchange of courtesies been extended
to the cadets of the two institutions by
the authorities at Washington. Nov 1t
is regarded very fayorably by them, and
ii is probable that it will become the
custom for the institutions to meet in
friendly athletic contest every year. Last
year was the initial attempt of the West
Pointers at football, and the Naval Ca
diets paid them visit and showed them
bow the game should be played. They
wiped the ground up with Uncle Sans
future generals and ran up score OF "a
points against them. This year howev-
err thoDbudding soldiers have gotten to-
gether team which has more than held
its own in contests thus far, and has lost
but one game in six. The Naval Cadets
have exactly the same good record. with
the advantage, however, of having de-
feated Rutgers 81 to 10, while West Point
met defeat "a to A when they played
the same team. Still, very little reliance
can be placed upon comparative scores
in football, and the result of the contest
formation. The members of the West
Point team arrived this morning and
were met at the depot by committee of
Naval Cadets. They were shown around
the Naval Academy grounds and build
ings by the committee, which consisted
of Naval Cadets Macklin, Beuret, Nc
Dona d, Trench, Bagley Ferguson, Web
ster and Evans. Extensive preparations
were made for the game this afternoon,
and a grand stand with seating capaci-
ty of 300 was erected for the occasion.
