GOOD AUTO ROUTE
TO WEST POINT
Auto Club of America Gives Di-
rections for Reaching Army
Ball Field.

Yale and the cadets at West Point
will be played at West Point today.
This game is always interesting, fur
nishing, as it does, a line on the prog
ress of the development of these
teams in anticipation of the later bat
ties with their closer rivals-Yale
versus Harvard and Princeton, and
West Point versus Annapolis. A
hard-fought contest is anticipated.
The large number of automobilists
who intend motoring to the game will
find the following directions, fur
nished by the touring department of
the Automobile Club of America, of
interest.
