Everything Ready for the Army and
Navy Cadets.
FOOT BALL CONTEST At ANNAPOLIS.
Fourth of the Series Between the
Academies.
CURRENT FOOT BALL GOSSIP.

ANNAPOLIS, Nd, Dec. 1.-Everything
Is in readiness for the battle between the
army and the navy tomorrow. While the
foot ball season practically closes with the
great contests on Thanksgiving day. the
game between the elevens of Uncle Sans
future generals and mis- embryo admirals
is attracting a great deal of attention.
The young soldiers will arrive in Balti-
more from West Point this afternoon and
come here i'll the morning. They are quoted
as being satisfied that although their team
is not so heavy as that of last year, the
present makeup is much ahead of last
years in general average play and excel
lency of critical team work.
This game will be the fourth of the series
between the two academies. The "middies'
have won two of the three heretofore
played. 1t is the army's turn to win this
year, but the navy boys will do their best
to break the record of alternate victory
and defeat. A curious feature of these
contests in the past is that neither team
has ever won on the home grounds.
Satisfaction ut Princeton.
PRINCETON, Dec 1.-The visit of the
students of Princeton University to the
great foot ball game in New York city yes
terday was made under such strict condi-
tons that the majority of the students who
trains. Exhausted by the excitement of the
day their exuberance over the victory found
vent chiefly in college yells and derisive
questions as to What is the matter with
fale?" The last train brought home the
townspeople who celebrated Princeton's
conquest more noisily than the students.
The foot ball team has not returned and
the pent-up enthusiasm is gathering
strength for the college jubilation tonight
1t was stated that Harvard would chal-
lenge Princeton this year. but this seems
very doubtful, as Assistant College Treas
man, says that two years ago Harvard
challenged Princeton to play on Thanks
giving day; Princeton offered to play on
any other day, and the result, Mr.. Duffield
alleges, was a back down.
Last year Harvard thought Princeton had
strong team. whereas the case was other
wise. Now Princeton having beaten Yale
and Yale having beaten Harvard IT is very
improbable that Princeton will take up the
challenge issued at so late a day.
The Princeton team probably broke train
ing today, and altogether 1t is likely that
this ends the foot ball season at Princeton.
The feeling of the students is one Of intense
satisfaction at the technical strength de-
veloped by the foot ball team. They be-
lieve that the battle was the fairest one
ever fought. They are enthusiastic over
the immense crowd that packed the stands
and bleacheries and kept up the spirits of
both teams. From financial point of
view everything was entirely satisfactory.
knipe Denies a story.
BOSTON, Dec. 1.-Knipe, the half back
OF the Pennsylvania foot ball team, in con-
versation yesterday, made several state
ments that will destroy the force of the
innumerable stories that have been founded
on the fanciful reports that were written
of the ELECTROMAGNETIC game 1t has
been published far and wide that when
Knipe made his famous touchdown Hinkey
of Yale lost his temper and struck the
Philadelphia full in the face.
"Hinkey never struck me- or even made a
pass at me-" said Knipe, land the story
was manufactured out of whole cloth. 1t
Is just such rot as this that is creating SO
much talk about the brutality of foot ball.
Its influence Is especially great upon the
parents of the players"
did you ever hear a more ridiculous
story than the one about the marks of teeth
on ButterwOrth's back?" continued the
Pennsylvania player. why. you might as

BOSTON, Mass. Dec. Capt Mackey of
the Pennsylvania foot ball team said last
evening:
The strong and weak points Of the game
with Harvard were easily apparent. Har-
