Will the ArmyNavy football game
be played in this city next fall?
On September 2 there appeared In The
Times, and the first time in print. a sug-
gestion that instead of having the big
contest between the future admirals and
generals decided on a college 1t should
be brought to Washington. Since that
time the feeling has spread throughout
the country. and the sentiment has
crystallized into a feeling that this is
the only place for the game, and the
prospects at present are bright that
the big game will be brought here.
No city in the country is so deeply in
terested In the ArmyNavy struggle as
is Washington. Aside from the Middies
the two academies have the deepest in
terest in the game. and IL would be a
convenience to the officers in the two
branches of the Government to bring
about a transfer.
Could Seat $4,000.
The idea is to have the gridiron con-
test on the ellipse back of the White
House, where stands to easily accom-
modate $1,000 persons could be erected
and thus do away with all the dissatis-
faction that has been caused in past
years by the limited number of tickets.
The principal reason for the transfer OF
the game from Franklin Field. Phila-
delphia, to Princeton. was in order that
more people could see the game. but

One Boxer Knows Game Thoroughly,
Other Is Unusually Rugged-Were
Matched Once Before.

Another boxing bout = to take place
near Washington on Thursday evening
and the sportively inclined are promised
some lively doings.
The heroes Of this coming mix-up OF
fifteen rounds will be Billy Peyton. who
has been vainly trying for two years to
get a chance to again display his Prov
ess, and Joe McWilliams, another dusky
scrapper. On form it would appear that
McWilliams should get the short end or
the purse, but his hackers say he Is
there with the punch and the nerve
Peyton is fighter of long experience
who has met all sorts of opponents,
from champions to local prides. and has
always made good. He is a clever boxer
and has at different times taught
the finer points of the game to pretty

McWilliams Strong.
The chief claim of McWilliams to
consideration is his size and strength,
both -of;which are out of the ordinary.
He does not lay any claims 20 shift

to stand the gaff are counted upon to

In breaking down the barriers between fhe sexes the women are beginning to practice toward men the same impolite- ness that they formerly reserved for each other. Men no longer as rule give up their seats in street cars to wom- CD because they have been taught by painful experience that the women as 6 class no longer appreciate the cour- tesy. In doing SO says the Kansas City Journal, they are rarely rewarded with even a glance and almost never word tf thanks The man who lifts his hat when he offers his seat is often frozen with a stare which implies doubt as to Lis sanity or his motives. The time may vet come when the man who lifts his hat To woman except upon society dress parade will be regarded with contempt for his mental softness.
