FOOTBALL SEASON
ABOUT TO CLOSE
Army and Navy Ring Down Curtain
In Annual Battle This
Afternoon.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 2e.--The
army mule and navy goat clash on
Franklin Field this afternoon In their
annual football encounter and at It's
close, tapes will be sounded on the
great American college game for the
season OF 1910.
The last big game OF the year, the
most picturesque. perhaps. Will be
fought out between Uncle Sans en-
bryo soldiers and sailors. In the pres
ence OF that distinguished gathering
which meets yearly on Franklin Field
TO witness the struggle OF the grid

ways we'll represented at the Army
Navy game and today's audience vii
be no exception.
The early betting slightly favored
Army, but there was no degree Of
confidence lost by Navy on that &C
count. Navy has played through tho
year without being scored upon anf
without being beaten, a tie 0 to score
with Rutgers alone marring the rec
ord. Army has met but one defeat, al
the hands of Harvard, but II must be
admitted that Army's efforts have
been more ambitious thus FAR than
those OF the midshipmen.
Confidence pervades both camps
The Navy will be without the services
OF It's captain and leader, Midshipman
King, who Is suffering from typhoid
fever. King will be missed. for he
was q strong tackle, but able men
have been found to take his place In
Douglas and Davis, both OF whom may
be called on to play the position dur
Ing the game.
Army's defense, which could not be
broken down either by Harvard or
Yale, may be slightly more compact,
but the Naval cadets point to their
clean slate as proof that they. too
have a line that will be as a stone
wall: Both elevens have shown rea'
sonably strong and varied attack at
times. but the Army may be able to
claim the advantage In Deans punting
and Its powerful. speedy backfeld.
Army and Navy have played IA
games In the past, Army winning sew
en- and Navy six, with one tie. There
was no game last year, owing to the
death OF Cadet Byrne In the Harvard
game.
