There is some little opposition to the
change Of the Army-Navy football game
from Philadelphia to Princeton, and it
comes direct from those who are vitality
interested in the intera cademic athletic
contests: 1t appears to most persons
more than met the eye as the true reason.
One critic, signing himself "A member OF
the Navy Athletic Association, writes to
the Army and Nary Journal with regard
az follows; Referring to, the transfer of
the Army and Navy football game from
Philadelphia to Princeton you say edi-
torialfy in your issue Of June 10 that 1t ia

never heard of any other being advanced
by those advocating the transfer. 1t seems
to me that the paper quoted states the case

more tickets has been the slogan which has
carried the day-at leastSor the present

many army and navy officers the change

like to see the game will remain at home
