afternoon looking to an amicable adjust
ment Of the controversy between the ath-
letic committees of the Military and
Naval academies with respect to the
Army and Navy foot ball game for 1913
Both officials are extremely DESTROYS
that the foot ball match shalf take place
as usual this year. and they will do what
they can to have the academic commit
tees reach an agreement on the subject.
Inasmuch as the Naval Academy has
generally had its way In the selection
Of Philadelphia as the place Of meeting.
it is probable that an effort will be made
to induce the Navy committee to agree
to the West Point proposition that this
years match take place on the Polo
Grounds at New York.
The only reason why Washington is
not considered for the match. 1t Is said.
is because there is no Enclosure In this
city suitable for the struggle.
