Meet in Philadelphia
Saturday.

Yves. Point, n. Y, Nov, 29-The foot

will close Saturday, December 2, at
Franklin field. Philadelphia, when as
guests of the University of Pennsylva-
MIA, the team will line up against the
navy team for the first time since 1898.
The team will leave West Point for
Philadelphia, Friday night. The game
on Saturday will be unique in the his
tory of foot ball, as the teams repre-
senting the national services will meet
for the first time on an enclosed field
TO which no admission will be charged
All spectators will be present by the
invitation of the University of Penn
sylvania and the Annapolis ana West
Point academies. The applications for
tickets have been large.
The development of the West Point
team during the season has been with
a view to this game. Work has been
difficult, as only three players of the
'9S team remained after the graduation
of the class last spring. OF these, one
has since been hurt, leaving nine posi-
tons to be filled from new material.
The cadets have worked hard and feel
confident of victory.
Though their opponents are heavier,
the cadets have the benefit of the
games with Harvard Yale Princeton,
Columbia, Dartmouth and the State
College Of Pennsylvania, and, although
losing the services of two promising
candidates through accidents, have de-
veloped a good defense and strong
attack.
