SITE STILL UNSETTLED
No Place Determined Upon For 1911
Army Navy Contest

No action has been taken by the
Navy Athletic Association, which
controls athletics at the Naval Acad-
emy, looking toward new site for
the playing of the Army-Navy game
next year. the agreement for the use
of the Franklin Field, Philadelphia,
having expired
A statement to this effect was
made Saturday night by Lieutenant
Commander Harris Laning, United
States Navy. secretary TO the Asso-
citation.
Mr.. Laning said, however, that
it would be absolutely necessary TO
make an arrangement by which more
seats were allotted to the Navy for
distribution, and there was no doubt
that other grounds in Philadelphia,
and, possibly, the Princeton Athletic
Field, would he considered.
A meeting of the Navy Athletic AS
sociation takes place here on Decem-
Der 20, and it is likely that COM
mittee will be appointed to take up
the whole matter with representa-
tives of the Military Academy.
Mr.. Laning said that New York
was out of the question, owing to
the fact that more than one day
would be required for the brigade
of Midshipmen to make the trip
and return in comfort, while Wash
ington could not be considered for
the same reason, from the stand
point Of the Military Academy.

"AUNT MARY" MAKES A HIT
The Dear "0ld Lady" DELAYED By Snow
Takes AnnspOlis By Storm Clean.
Wholesome Comedy OF The
Mary Robson Mig.

Better late than never" must have
been what the patient audience of
several hundred MidshIpmen and q
few ladies thought Saturday after
noon when they sat for nearly two
hours in the Colonial Theatre wait
ing for the curtain TO rise on The
Rejuveuation of Aunt Mary with
May Robson in the title role.
1t was a patient but long-sufFer-
ing audience at the matinee per-
formance, and even If q few did
take their yellow programmes and
go home. and ask their money back,
the others behaved beautifully. The
fact is it was 4:20 p. m. when
the curtain rose, and it was all the
fault of the snow, but when it did
rise Miss Robson took the audience
by storm, just as the storm had
taken her a few hours pre- revious,
and in the gladsomeaess of the
clean, wholesome, delightful COM

But what made il so late?" asked
the audience in one breath. The
answer is quick and sure. The com.
pany was delayed by the storm,
Miss Robson herself did not get to
Carvel Hall until 2:30 o'clock. The
scenery was late in being delivered
at the theatre. Then il had TO be
set, the company had to makeup. and
well, what's the use. Those of us
who went to the matinee know that
at 60 the third act hadn't gone on
and the Midshipmen (who composed
nine-tenths of the audience) had to
"beat it" to the Naval Academy
without even getting glimpse of
the third act. which really is the

has had a taste with her rascal"
nephew, Jack, and his chums. The
theme is not new one, everybody
who goes to the theatre is familiar
with it.
The dialogue is bright, and the fun
is clean and sparkling from overture
to final tall of the curtain. Miss
Robson has a part thoroughly suited
to her and she revels in it. The
spontaneity of her humor, the buoy

up-to-the minute comedy dealing
with New York's smart set. 1t is

descends to the kitchen and goes up
10 the roof, and is laugh from start
to finish. The New York Evening
Telegram said in its review of this
comedy:
Gales of laughter swept over the

were shining with smiles, and their
hearts were big with gratitude to
Mary Roberts Rinebart and Avery
Hopwood, who wrote the sparkling
comedy. See'Seven Days and laugh. 1"
Players who appeared in the piece
at the Astor Theatre, where it has
run into its second year, will act it
here, and the production will be ex-
actly the same as the one on Broad

ments of the season, that of "Seven
Days" will surely create the great.

OPEN WITH A WINNING
Middles Put The Baltimore Medicoes
Away In Initial Basketball Game

Navy's basketball season was open
ed most successfully on Saturday af-
ternoon when the sailor lads put the
kebosh on the team from Baltimore
Medical College to the tune of 80
to 18.
Although the Baltimoreans had
held Georgetown down neatly a few
days before and or this reason a stiff
contest was expected from them, but
the sailors played the better game
throughout and were never in serious
danger. Their showing is taken as
a bovst for the installation of the
graduate coaching system and Mid
shipman B. o. Wills, captain of last
years team, who has been placed in
charge for this year.
The Middies had anticipated a
rather tight game with the Medicos,
in view of that teams close game
against Georgetown few days ago.
but the sailor lads played superior
game throughout. The Middies jump.
ed into q commanding lead shortly
after the start. and though the Balti-
moreans were outclassed they fought
their hardest to the final whistle.
The Middies' greatest advantage was
through their more consistent team
work. AT times, however, the work
of the visitors went into spurt, and
this aided them to tally as many
points as they did.
The first half ended with thessscore
standing Navy, %; Medicos, S.
