 Crashed Through Line.
BY LANGDoN SMITH.

Philadelphia November 30.-Before the most spectacular crowd that ever gath cred on a football field those two ancient foes, the Army and the Navy, met on Franklin field this afternoon.
 In a gruelling contest lasting two hours, the Navy won by score of to O.
 The fight was bitter, furious and con- stant,( except for the occasions when some gaunt hero of the game was laid out, dazed or senseless, on the field Great admirals of the navy sat in flower be- decked boxes, surrounded by pretty girls. Grizzled generals of the army strung along the West Point side and speculated upon the probable result of the game Elsewhere in the crowd were governors, captains and commanders. It was not an occasion for ,..A proletariat. It was by in vitation only that admittance could be gained
 On either side the two militaTt arms of the greatest country on earth sat rank upon rank, throned in opposition with their battle flags flying. For them it was the greatest affair of the earth, the largest portion of the worlds history.

 Preceded by bands the students of the two national schools, which teach the trade of killing, entered the empty quad rangle at 130 o'clock, the Navy on the northern, the West Pointers on the south ern stand Led by their separate bands they marched and wheeled company > to their seats, a stirring sight to behold Straight and erect as young saplings, they looked just what they were. the finest fibre of young American manhood.
 The crowd began to awake and rumble. Rioting songs were waited from Army to Navy and back again. The long drawn cheer rolled over the field.
 Great Battle Rages.
 Suddenly from opposite corners of the western stand the teams ran out upon the field. Shaggy and uncouth they looked, but inside their football hauberks and tabards there were straight, hand some looking men with a formidable air of agility, strength and courage
 On the Navy side a beribboned goat scampered on the end of a string On the Army side the traditional mule was being ridden by a soldier, who was happy with the privilege. Here, too, was little black bear on a leash, seemingly the only miserable thing on the field. Once on the field it did not take the teams long to get into action. The Navy won the toss and chose to defend the eastern

NO TRADE WITH MONTGOMERY. HoUTZ MAY BE PURCHASED. CHICAGO CUBS MAKE DATES. SOME GUSeip.

The directors of the local baseball as- sociation, and Manager Harry Vaughn, are rapidly framing a baseball team for next season.
 With the new men already signed and drafted, there remains nothing further to accomplish but the trading and selling of several members of last seasons dis grunted outfit.
 There are several trades pending, but none has gone through. The report cir culated in Birmingham by the Mont gomery Advertiser, to the effect that Bir- mingham had traded Carlos Smith and Ginger Clarke to Montgomery in re- turn from Houtz and Pitcher Walsh. is in error No such deal has been made, and very probably never will.
 Manager Vaughn offered Gardner and Acock to Montgomery for Houtz and Perry Montgomery turned down this of fer and same back with the counter prop osition-Houtz and Walsh for Smith and Clarke. That deal will most probably be turned down by the local association. Houtz is good man, but Walsh has no good reputation as a ball player in Bir- minShdIn. It IS diinost certdinty tndt Walsh will never wear local uniform. Montgomery offers Houtz to Birmingham for $500, and he may be purchased. He would make a better leftflelder than Gardner, it is believed.
 Vaughn is after third baseman, one more good infielder, and several pitchers. It is absurd to believe, however, that he will trade Clarke for a man of Walsh's reputation and ability. Some good news is expected within the next few days.

side. Then the army again threw It's backs against the navy's line and for a time the food-like force of the scrim- mage carried the players along like chips in a whirlpool. A forward pass by Beavers failed. A plunge by the same player into the center lost ten yards. A punt by the army then car ried the ball to the navy's 30 yards line, where Douglass ran 1t back 10 yards before being dropped. The navy apparently had great faith in the punt ing ability of Jones. He kicked to the army's 20 yard line and the cadets having just much faith in Beavers drove 1t back again to midfeld. Here the battle swung this way and that for a few minutes, until Douglass, catch ing punt in midfield went whirling up the turf toward the army goal Man after man of the army sprang to meet him, but he lodged the tackles until he was dropped on the army's 10, yards line by Smith.
 On the army side of the field there arose visions of thousand tongued fear. From the gray cadets came q wailing cheer of hold them back boys, you've got to hold them back"
 Mrs. Nicholas Longworth stood up screaming. General Grant chewed vigor- ously on a cigar. over on the Navy side the air was yellow~with flags Admiral Dewey took a bite from ham sandwich and dreamed of Manila. Ref Snyder plunged into the center without a gain. Jones swung Fowler back for two yards Then Douglass tried fatal forward pass and the Nayy's dreams of a touchdown received a severe jolt Smith fell on the ball and all the Southern stand seemed a mass of flowers and flags.
 Captain Douglass Scores.
 There was another exchange of long punts, and again the ball began to travel toward the Army's goal. Douglass ripped through the center for 10 yards and laid the ball on the Army's 10-yard line. Then Lange, although little fellow, went into the center like a small bull dog and took ' 1t up within four yards of the Army goal. Here the West Pointers went to bay in

feats, and possibly only one, meaning that Vanderbilt would win from the Blacksmiths, and Sewanee might probably score a victory. These predictions are all right and because they went astray is nothing to the detriment of either Heisman, Percy Whiting, the clever sporting editor of The Atlanta Georgian, or any of the other prophets who pre- dicted erroneously
 Well, the season was off. There was the clash of the teams on the gridiron, the shouts of the victors and the scalp ing of the vanquished. Then 1t was all over, and what had happened re- mained for the historian, and not for the prophet nor the biased writer.
 The Middle Class
 The middle class of the association is all that interests. It is a certainty that Vanderbilt and Sewanee are on the first bough. On the bottom row are Mercer, Howard, Mississippi, Mississippi Agricul- tural and Mechanical college, and others. The great middle class consists of Au- burn, Alabama, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Tennessee and Clemson. Now what did each team of the middle class accomplish against the other teams of that class?
 Take Tech. Heisman's team met Au- burn, Clemson, Tennessee and Georgia. Auburn was victorious. Clemson was yic-
 
 pute. Georgia was beaten. As concerns the Tennessee game, both participants claim it. Tennessee kicked a heid goal, scoring four points Tech. either scored a safety or a touchdown Tennessee claims that 1t was a safety, good for two points. Tech. claims touchdown, good for five points, and a subsequent goal, good for one, or total of six. The safety or touchdown was the result of a blocked kick by Tennessee The ball when blocked, bounded behind the Ten nessee line, and fell into the possession of a Tech. man. Tennessee claims the ball went out of bounds, and Tech. that it did not. There will never be a posi- tive decision by any central council. Therefore the game should be thrown out. Tennessee will continue to claim 1t, and Tech. will continue to claim it..
 Therefore, barring this disputed battle, Tech. won but one game from the mem bers of the third class-Georgia, and suf-, fered two defeats-at the hands of Au- burn and Clemson.
 Alabama suffered no defeat from this class, and scored one victory-over Ten nessee.
 Auburn suffered one defeat, and scored two victories. Georgia defeated Auburn and Auburn defeated Tech. and Clemson. Tennessee suffered one defeat-at the hands of Alabama, and scored two vic- tories-over Georgia and Clemson.
 Clemson scored one victory-over Tech, and suffered three defeats-by Auburn, Tennessee and Georgia.
 Georgia scored two victories-over Au- burn and Clemson, and suffered two de- feats-at the hands of Tech. and Ten neSsee.
 If you figure out the above on per- centage basis, the absurdity of Heis- mans claim is apparent

 The teams of this middle class played enough games among themselves to war rant the introduction of a percentage basis Alabama played three of the members. Auburn played four. Georgia played all five. Tech played three. Clem-
