Welcomed by Great Crowd and
SeTenaded During Game.
EXECUTIVE WATCHED GAME
WITH CLOSE ATTENTION, Al
THOUGH RAIN WAS FALLING
AND GROUND WAS SOFT WITH
MUD-GAME CALLED ACCOUNT
OF RAIN.
By Associated Press.

Washington. Dec. president and
Mrs. Roosevelt, Secretary Root and
Secretary Taft, with large party,
left at eight o'clock this morning on a
special train for Princeton, n. j., to
witness the football game between the
Army and Navy. The train consisted
Of seven Pullman cars, including a
diner and reached Princeton soon
after noon.
A great crowd was gathered at the
station when the train arrived and
President and Mrs. Roosevelt were
greeted with cheers as they appeared
on the platform of the car.
The party was at once driven to the
home of President WoodTeW Wilson,
of Princeton College, where they were
entertained at luncheon prior to go
ing to the game. The party included
several besides the president and Mrs.
Roosevelt.
During the first half Of the game
the president occupied a box on the
Navy side of the field, changing 20
the Army side during the second half.
The Navy band. during the intermis-
sion, serenaded the president and the
Navy contingent Joined in singing the
songs Of the academy.
Although a drizzling rain was fall
ing through most of the playing, and
the ground was soft with mud, the
president watched the play with the
closest attention.
Immediately at the close of the
game the party returned to the spec
ial train, reaching it at Sis. Owing
to congestion of travel the president
train did not leave for nearly an
hour and reached Washington at HOS
p. m.
Twenty-Five thousand persons saw
one of the most exciting games ever
played between the Army and Navy
teams which, by reason Of the pres
ence of the president and other high
government officials, attracted hun
dreds who otherwise would not go a
mile to witness such an event
For the first twenty-five minutes of
play the ball was almost continuously
in the Navy's territory. Near the
close of the first half the Army got me
ball on the Nays twenty-five yard
line on an exchange of kicks Howard
sent a special high in the air but the
wind carried the ball back toward the
Navy goal and from this point the
West Pointers carried the BAH over
for a touchdown.
In the last ten minutes of play the
Navy made a desperate effort and by
a series Of quick PLAYS got a touch
down and Norton kicked goal Dark
ness had set in so that only those
close to the goal posts were able to
see that the ball passed between The
posts, tieing the score.
After a conference between the cap
tains Of the two teams the game was
called four minutes before time was
Iup.
During the excitement incident to
the Nays touchdown, the president
left his seat in the grand stand and
accompanied by President Wilson and
Secret Service men walked briskly
. across the field. Thunderous cheers
greeted him and he was evidently
much graJifed. He received a similar
. reception when he crossed the field il

halves Of the game.
