More football teams will plsy
their first games this afternoon, and
among those of note who will pry
the season open are the Army and
Navy elevens.
Neither has a hard game The
West Pointers meet Stevens, which
was smothered by Princeton, and the
middies will engage Johns Hopkins
Yale which hasn't met anything easy
so far, will have another hard game
in Syracuse, and Harvard will battle
with Holy Cross, which held Yale to
seven points week ago
Lehigh is looked on to be an oppo-
nent of a far different calibre than
Stevens or Rutgers, but the Tigers
have the scoring habit and may cut
loose again. They may have a paper
line and all that, but they are getting
the points. Last year Lehigh played
a to 6 tie with Princeton. The

While the middies are entertaining
the eleven of Johns Hopkins in their
initial set to of the season, St. John S
is having its annual struggle with
Franklih and Marshall College on
the latter's gridiron at Lancaster, Pa.
The St. Johns squad, twenty in num-
Der, under charge of Coach King, left
this morning via the Short Line, and
are confident of taking the measure
of the Lancaster lads.
The Navy-Hcpkins contest got un-
der way on the Academy field at $50
O'Clock, with a large crowd of spec
tators in attendance. Hopkins under
graduates and friends of the var
sity were prominent in the throng
that packed the big grandstand.
The game attracted much attention
throughout the State because the two
institutions had not met for many
years, and the varsity has been COM
ing along strong during the last few
years.
Decided changes were noted in the
Navy lineup when the team trotted
onto the field. Neither Brown, the
big tackle of last year, and Overesch.
end, played, as both of them have been
temporarily suspended from practice
because of infractions of regulations.
Nor was Howe, another big fellow,
in his old place at guard. He is
nursing a slight injury. Two "Plebes"
were in the lineup at the start of
hostilities. These are Woodward. at
guard, and Miles, right halfback.
Here is how the middies lined up at
the start: Vail and Ralston, ends /:
Vaughn and Redman, tackles; Wood
ward and Harrison, guards; Walker,
centre; Gilchrist, quarterback; Alex
ander and Gilchrist, halfbacks Hall,
fullback.
The Hopkins squad. twenty-five
strong, arrived IN town this forenoon
and were guests of the middies at
luncheon. The Varsity players ap-
pared in good physical trim. An
open game, with frequent use of the
forward pass. was their plan of at
tack against the sailor lads.
The Hopkins party is made up as
follows: Uhler, Baker, Hall and La
Motto, ends; Penniman, Nelson, Chen
owith and Connolly, guards; Primrose,
center; Y1st, Catlin and Gillet, quar-.
tebacks; Gillet and Tappan, right half
backs; Branham, left halfback; G..
Penniman and Gillet, fullbacks
