DEMAND GREATER
THAN EVER BEFORE
FOR NAVY TICKETS
Presence of Atlantic Fleet in
Nearby Ports Is Re-
sponsible.

ANNAPOLIS. Nd. Nov. 2-when the
books OF the Navy Athletic Association
were closed the executive committee
found itself confronted with the usual
dilemma of how to supply the multitude
OF demands for tickets to the Army
Navy football game to be played in
Philadelphia November 30 out Of the
limited number of the coveted paste
boards that will be available.
Each year the demand for seats at
the big inter-service game has grown
greater and greater, and this year Is
no exception. In fact, the number of
requests that have been sent to Lieut..
Arthur p. Fairfield. the secretary and
treasurer OF the association. is even
proportionately greater, compared to
former years.
ly due to the presence of the vessels OF
the Atlantic fleet at nearby ports, and
consequently a greater number of OFF,
GERS will desire to attend the big game
quests for tickets. And the local de-
mand, too, Is somewhat greater, due
to the larger number of officers assign
ed to the Naval Academy staff this
term, together with those taking the
post graduate course at the engineer
Ing school and assigned to the fleet of
warships attached TO the local station.
which is larger now than at this time
last year.
And despite the fact that the seating
capacity OF Franklin Field, which is to
be the scene of the battle, Is greater
by nearly 5000 than last year, still
there will be many of those who have
applied to the navy end for tickets who
win be sorely disappointed at not get

ELEVEN WILL MEET

North Carolina, However, Is
Not Expected to Be
Hard Foe.

Georgetown's crippled varsity football
eleven meets North Carolina today at
Richmond, Va. and though the coaches
look for a hard gam. nth a small
score. the Hilltoppers should have little
difficulty In winning from the Tar
Heels.
"Rlondey" Rheinschild is out of the
game for the mainder OF the season,
having two fractured ribs, his reward
for playing a beautiful game against
Carlisle last Saturday. His place today
will be taken by Petritz. one OF the
candidates for center.
Marvin Ritch will play the pivot po-
siticn today against his former eleven.
Ritch was one of the best men In the
North Carolina line last season, and
the turn of fate has him playing
against the Tar Heels today.

consist of White. Fury. Van Dyne. and

Franklin Field Will Be Scene
of Great Football
Battle.

second victory in two seasons OF the

Four or five years ago Holienba ok
was considered the greatest fullback
Penn ever had had. Not only could he
plow great holes through any line in
the land. but as an end runner he class
cd with the best. In addition to these
two qualities. he was one OF the hest
punters in the East, while his defen-
sive play ranked him high on the grid

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Nov. 2.-By
providing a crisp. cool. bright day, the
weather man has done his best to atone
for the rain he gave yesterday that
thoroughly soaked the gridiron in the
immense concrete stadium where the
sons Of Princeton and Harvard battle
today for the football championship
before 5000 persons.
The coaches Of both elevens look for
hard. close game. The slippery going
will probably be OF assistance to the

Logan Cunningham declined to admit
that his Tigers would be inconvenienced

Both Harvard and Princeton have a
nearly perfect attack. Their backfelds

ond for all the gain possible. Princeton
relies much on line shifts. varied with

Wendell Should Shine.
Harvard counts on Captain Wendell
and Charlie Brickley to shine most
gioriously today. Wendelrs weak ankle
has fully recovered it's strength, and
his tornado-like rushing into the line
should greatly bother the Princeton
eleven.
Charlie Brickleys brilliant goal kick
ing may provide a surprise for Prince
ton. This young man is one OF the
surest and most accurate kickers in
the East Hardly game has gone by
this year without his booting a couple
OF field goals from scr!mmage. Prince
ton will probably watch for him, but
the Crimson coaches believe he will
kick at least one held goal.
Harvard's eleven Is almost an even
match for Princeton In every way.

team averages 1T pounds. three pounds
more than Princeton. The Crimson for
wards average ls2 pounds. two more
per man than the Tigers. 1t Is In the
backheld that Harvard's weight may
count. The crimson backs average l75
pounds, while the Tigers the but l67
pounds.
Weak In Defense.
While powerful on attack, both elev-
ems have displayed remarkable weak
ness on defense. With the slippery
field. therefore, Harvard's bone-crush-
ing attack on the line is expected to
bear fruit In at least one touchdown.
The Tigers principal method used in
advancing the ball Is line shift with

Quakers Are Weak.
The Quakers are weak this season and
nothing but gloom rests upon Franklin

sion that Hollenback's team will win
today. Andy Smiths course at Penn
is about done and. with Hollenback
triumphing over his alma mater. there
Is likely to be demand for his SER
vices at Penn.
However, those who know the inside
OF the football situation at Philadelphia,
say that Hollenback will never accept
the position as head coach OF the Red
and Blue while the present board OF
strategy Is in control. They declare that
he Is too Independent to bow to a lot OF
silk -stockinged experts when It comes
to teaching football.
That's why, indeed, that he is at Penn
State this year. That's why, too, that
he will in all probability turn loose upon
Franklin Field this afternoon a football
eleven trained to the minute In every
way. and It will be strange II Miller and

Georgetown Is fortunate In having a

nothing SO far this season to warrant
its being able to do much with the
sturdy Blue and Gray. crippled as It is

town will have a substitute backfield In
the game very early, but no trouble
should be experienced In winning.

The really big game today In the

an even thing, the slippery field favor
ing slightly the heavier Harvard eleven.
Not since 1887 has a Harvard eleven
triumphed over Princeton. Today the
Crimson has a chance. 1t is very prob
able that today's winner win be the

COAT SETS OF ULTRA DESIGN
Very Smart Are Those Of Crash
Which Have Suddenly Become
So Popular.

Ultra smart are the coat sets in
heavy crash. While few Of them are
entirely Of creamy hue, the most ef-
fective are in old rose. delft blue, pas
tel green or khaki, embroidered with
white or black linen floss. This needle
work, which Is in a bold design and
done in close, solid stitch, runs from
the inner to the outer edge of both
collar and cuffs, where the hem
stitched border is very coarse and ef-
fective. The collars are FIVE pointed
and so extremely broad that one Van
Dyke terminates at the center of the
back, two Van Dykes fall over the
top of the arm, and the remaining pair
extend almost half way to the waist
line. The cuffs have three sharp Van
Dykes, a deep one running backward
to the elbow, and two shorter ones
pointing. toward the inner side OF the
arm. These coat sets are now worn
with plainly tailored serges of dark
hue, but they will be equally smart
looking with the tailored frocks in
white, gray or tan.
