1T is almost pathetically easy to un-

1t seems not only an unfortunate but

The Army and Navy have been playing
foot ball against each other since 1890.
The other big colleges had developed
intercollegiate games long before that
time, but the official schools had not
spread beyond their own bounds in the
matter Of athletics. The Navy was the
first to develop a team In 1890 the Navy
proposed to the West Pointers that they
get together in an intercollegiate grid ron
contest. The Army accepted the chal-
lenge, and the first game was played at
West Point. The Navy team had de-
velOped far greater degree of proficien-
cy and the result of the first game was
that the West Pointers were inglorously
defeated by a score of "a to upon their
own grounds. The following year. how
ever, West Point avenged herself upon
the Navy school by springing a great sur
a score Of 30 to 16 against the Admirals.
So was the gauntlet formally thrown
down and so has the contest for supreme
cy been waged ever since.
Those first few games were historic
The first captain of the West Pointers
was Cadet Dennis Mickie, who afterward
met death at Santiago de Cuba dur
ing the Spanish-American war. An
other of the great heroes of the early
foot ball contests between the two mill
tary schools was Ensign Worth Bagley,
VINO had the distinction of being the only
naval officer killed during the Spanish
American war. So were the two early
heroes of the Army and Navy foot ball

nothing essentially wrong about the mat

fact: the only trouble with her Is that
she permits her imagination to run away

1.-The matinee girl, in essence. imagines
that she is infatuated with the actor,
whereas she is merely in love with the

her to weld indissolubly. in her imagina-

She mistakes the glamour Of the part

After playing four games the contests
between the two military schools were
given over for period of six years, be-
tween 1899 and 1899. The schools were
so far apart and the difficulties of trans
porting the bodies of cadets so great that
the institutions were unable to meet
them. 1t was Dr. J. William White of
the University Of Pennsylvania, and a
visitor on the boards of the two military
schools, who finally solved the problem.
He proposed that the games in the future
be held on Franklin Field. which is the
great athletic grounds of the University
of Pennsylvania, located in Philadelphia
Philadelphia is an easy run from both
Annapolis and West Point and cadets can
come and return to those institutions
without the necessity of staying over
night. SO the expense is greatly reduced
and the whole student bodies of the two
institutions are enabled to attend.
Under this arrangement the games
were resumed and have been played at
FRANKLIN Field every year since 1899 with
the exception of 1904. when the game
was held at Princeton. and 1909, when
the game was called off because of the
death Of Ensign Wilson of the Annapo-
lis team. The first few games at
the Franklin Field resulted in an alter
nation of honors as between the two
teams. Then for few years the Army
gained very decided foot ball supe-
riority over the Navy. This superiority
eliminated in the games of 1909 and 1904
In the first of these games the Army ran
up the monstrOus score of 40 as against
the Nays >. In the second game the
Navy was whitewashed, while the Army
scored II points. The year following,
1905, witnessed the most desperate con-
test that has ever been staged at an
Army and Navy game and resulted in "a
tie score of 6 to 6. This was the turning
point in the careers of the team and the
Navy has been quite regularly predomi-
nant ever since. having lost but one
game that of 1903. by the narrow score

1t was in 1901 that West Points star
quarterback, DAILY, scored a touchdown
from the kickoff, making one Of the most
phenomenal plays that is recorded in the
history of the game. The game last year
was won by the Navy through a program
of persistent kicking. Dalton. the pres
ent captain, was the man with the boot.
Six times did he kick unsuccessfully, but
on the seventh attempt he made a clean
goal from the field and won the game.
Dean, the present fullback for West
Point is a man who is a power as Il
kicker, and with Dean pitted against Dali

kicking in the coming game. The West

Upton for West Point in the 1904 game.
In that year both the Army and Navy

Army had beaten Yale and the Navy had
beaten Princeton. Accordingly. the game
on Franklin Field was very close.
Both teams had been rushing for short
