While Admirals and Generals looked
on and remembering their own youth
full days, Navy and Army battled to
finish on Franklin Field this after
noon. When the game was over the
score stood Navy, 8; Army, 0.
Weather conditions for the big
struggle were practically ideal and the
field in good condition. The wind
that had blown all day died down to a
light breeze as the time for the con-
test approached, and when at /
O'Clock the canvas that had been
lying on the field all night was re-
moved the green was found in fine
condition considering the heavy
rains of the past two days.
Between thirty-fve and thrty-seven
thousand persons filled every avail
able seat and space in the vast amphi-
theatre.

that the movement from hotel lunch
cons to Franklin Field started, and as
soon as the gates of the many entran'
ces to the big stadium were thrown
open the rush for seats began. In an
ever growing stream the sport-loving

crowd
1t was lust I.35 when the rival
brigades marched on the field, accom-
panied by their respective bands, and
after a short field drill, ran to their
seats the Army lads going to the
south and the Middies to the north
stands. After both were seated they
exchanged cheers for their oppo-
nents with a right good will.
1t was just three minutes to
o'clock when the Army squad trot
ted out on the field, headed by theil
dcughy captain, Cadet Hyatt. They
were given a rousing welcome by
their grey-coated friends in The
