and had adopted as her life's vocation
the relief of poverty and the solutions
of the questions of crime and intem-

foothold in some of the large cities, but
received small encouragement from
societies in the field. AS a result of the
chance talk at the assembly funds were

GOVERNMENT MAY PREVENT
FUTURE ARMY NAVY GAMES.
Officials Have Been Inconvenienced by the
Public's Demands for Tickets.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.-When the
West Point and Annapolis football game
is over his afternoon 1t Is probable that
they will have met on the gridIron for
the last time, for 1t seems likely now
that the annual classic and picturesque
struggle on Franklin Field in Philadel-
phia will be abandoned. The persistent
demands for tickets to the game. the
constant complaint and necessary IN
convenience to army and naval officials
are causes of the talk looking toward
ending the struggles for football supre
macy.
There has been no official consldera-
ton given the subject, but 1t has been
discussed by the heads OF the two depart
ments. and, even though 90 per cent. of
the officers of the two institutions favor
the continuance of the games. they feel
they will be declared off,
A Navy Department official said that
the demands for tickets which were
made on the department this year were
immense. They came from all classes of
citizens. Senator's and Representatives
applied for them, unmindful OF the fact
that the Navy Department has nothing
to do with the arrangement OF the game.
Letters by the score were received scor-
ing the navy n the Government n
the athletic association, and everything
else connected with the game, for max
ing 1t such an exclusive AFFAIR. This
resulted in great Inconvenience TO the
department.
Letters have also been received con-
demning football as a sport on account
Of its r~oughness.
Some of these letters have vehemently
declared that, while the army n navy
were carrying civilization around the
world they were encouraging the most
bruta! pastime known to humanity on
the whitc-Hned gridlrons at West Point
man Aiken brought forth much criticism
adverse to the sport.
1t is thought now that any action
taken by either department will e
more toward the abolition of the annual
army and navy game than toward the
abolition OF football as a sport at either
academy.
The annual game between the two
academies began In 1890. when the game
was played 1t West Point and was won
~ the navy by the score OF "a to 0.
The next year the soldiers sprung a
surprise on the sailors. defeating them
by the score OF "a to l6. Annapolis took
! The third years game by a score OF y
to Q. The next was the last game until
1854, ana the navy was a-aia victorious.

RUN
FOR CHAMPIONSHIP
Challenge of Philadelphia Relay
Team Quickly Answered by
New York Athletes.

The best long-distance runners in New
York and Philadelphia are to compete
in a four-mile relay race at the Irish
games to be held at the Garden on
Dec. %.
The challenge issued by the Philadel-
phla association was quickly snapped
up by the local athletes and a red hot
contest is assured.
When the challenge arrived the New
York Athletic Club was the first to
respond. and A. H.. Newton and the
other members OF the team have al
ready begun to prepare themselves Tor
the event.
The local team Is very strong. one
OF the fastest in the country, and con-
fdently expects to put II over the
Quaker city four, but the visitors
issued a sweeping challenge, which
shows they nave little fear of n team
in his city.
No other entries have as yet been
received and the race will no doubt be
bet ween the two teams, for there are no
runners here who would care TO buck
up against the New York A. c. four.

CORNELL MAY NOT
HAVE HENLEY CREW.
On Account of Action of English
Committee Barring 0arSmen
Coached by Professionals.

When the stewards Of the Henley
Regatta meet on Dec. Is 1t is stated ii
a cable from London that a plan will be
be formulated which will exclude Cor
nell from participation In the crew races.
The rule will say that crews trained BY
professionals within a month of the
opening Of the regatta cannot race at
Henley, so that, in view of the Engage
ment OF Coach Courtney by Cornell,
will bar the Ithacans from the races.
From Ithaca comes the news that the
Cornell Navy management will await
the cotton Of the Henley Regatta Com
mlttee. and hat IN case of the passing
of such an act as is predicted it will
consider the English sentiment and then
probably not enter a crew.
Cornell would nave liked to have sent
a crew abroad this year, because the
eight promised to be such a strong one,
seven of last years champion crew
being back in college.
