IN THE FOOTBALL WORLD.
Army.Na,y Game to Be Played at Phiia.
delphis To-day.

For the West-Point Annapolis game at
Franklin Field. Pniladelpii to-day the
indications are that there will be the nearest
approach TO real football weather that has
been had this season. In the last few days
there has been less heard OF the marked
difference in strength between the Army
and Navy elevens The Navy has a way of
coming fast In the final week OF develop
ment. while reports are to the effect that the
Army Is not In the best of condition. The
West POINTERS. however. are still the favor
nes. odds oi to are quoted The West
Point team II as strong as any the Army has
mas turned out Their work has been con-
sistently strong all the fall, while the Middies
on the other hand have played an erratic
game. showing poor form and good form In
turns. The coaches believe that II the Navy
eleven has one of its good days it will give
the Army plenty to do.
When the teams are sized up individually
there is not as much difference between them
as indicated by their form aga inst opponents.
