There is great likelihood that Wash
ington will have a Christmas football
game.
The Army-Nevy game. which was
played last Saturday at American
League Park on a gridiron covered with
nearly foot OF snow, was so unsatisfac-
tory to the two teams from the point
OF view Of relative merits. that both are
anxious to have It played over and
finally decide the supremacy.
Scored in Second Half.
The Navy won by TO 0, the score be-
ing made in the second half after 6
wading contest Of nearly the whole
length of the field. In the first half
the snow was such a handicap to the
players that during the whole twenty
minutes the oval did lot 20 twenty
yards either way from the center OF
the field. Without attempting 70 dis
Iarage in the least The victory of the
Navy eleven, it must be said that the
touchdown was not the result of sclen-
