8 Philadelphia, Nov. 3O.-The football
contest which outranks in popularity all
other games in the football season, was
played this afternoon on Franklin field,
between West Point and Annapolis
eleven. Every available seat was dis
posed of and requests for $4,000 tickets
had to be refused.
Today's contest was the third in which
the army and navy have met on Frank
lin field, but it was the first at which
the president of the United States was
present. The great crush for tickets
was due in a measure to President
Roosevelt's announcement that he would
attend the game.
Besides the president and members of
tse cabinet, General Miles, Admiral
Remey, Major General Brooke, Com
modore wainwright of Annapolis, Gen.
Joseph Wheeler, Adjutant General Cor
bin and other prominent army and navy
officials occupied boxes and cheered for
the army and navy.
Betting Was Light.
The game was Yale's methods against
Princeton coaching. West Point had
been drilled by some of the best players
that ever appeared on Yale eleven,
while the navy boys had the Princeton
style of play drilled into them by such
well-known Orange and Black players
as Edwards, Hilderbrand and Kelly.
BY outside critics West Point was
looked upon as an almost sure winner,
chiefly because of the excellent show
ing the team made against Harvard,
Yale and Princeton.
The betting on the result of the game
was light. owing to the preponderance
Of West Point money.
Franklin field was in perfect condition
for the contest. A liberal coating of
straw kept yesterdays snow from reach
ing the turf and also kept the grounds
from freezing.
Annapolis practiced signals at Frank
lin field this morning and the West
Point eleven ran through their plays on
the grounds OF the Philadelphia Coun-
try club at Bala.. The weather was al
most perefect for football.
