- -ra+ .7,e s-rl~ officers stationed at
West Point are unanimous n theiT Plel

he made with the owners Of one OF the
baseball parks. New York would be more
acceptable 10 Us because II Is tTo hours
nearer West Point than Philadelphia and
furthermore the hotel accommodations
would be much better.
We Of the Army are entirely satisfied
with the hotel arrangements in Philadei-
Tais but last Saturday the Navy people
were anything but content with those they
were able 70 make Several naval officers
complained 20 rne about this, and this Is
one reason why the Nay wishes 10 have
7he game played elseghere- OF course
Washington : out Of the question, and we
re all agreed that Il the game is not TO
Re PLAYED n Philadelphia il must be played
n Nev York.
The chief difficulty. i seems 70 me, ahoU-

IS question entirely up TO the Nay; All
know is that New York would be more
7lan satisfactory 10 US.
L can be stated authoriJaJfvely that the
ATTY Goes not intend 10 take any action
on TIE question until the athletic authori-
;ies Of the Jwo branches OF the service get
70 work on a new athletic agreement The
od tsree-yesr agreement having expired
when The Army Navy game ended on
FranklIn Field last SATURDAY. Just when
-ae new agreement viii be framed no one
here knows. II VIII be done either by cor
r-spon1snce between the athletic authOri-
J!ss Of -he TRo academies or by e meeting
Until then the Army intends 10 sit tight
hoping that TIE Navy VII take the ln!Ila-

One hing is certain. When The Army
and Navy get together & determined effort

somewhere where both branches OF the SER

certain that the University Of Pennsylvania

Ter Of tickets allotted On the contrary.
