ARMY-NAVY GAME
CAUSING WORRY
No Agreement Reached as Yet,
Following Lapse of
Contract

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 13.-The
pact that the three-year agreement be-
tween West Point, Annapolis and the
University of Pennsylvania on the an
nual Army-Navy football game In this
city, which expired with the game last
fall, has not been renewed, Is causing
eastern fans some worry.
The delay In completing negotia-
tions between the two rival academies
came out In a report at the regular
February meeting of the board OF trus-
tees OF the University OF Pennsyl-
yania.
Whether failure to get together
means that there will be no annual
football game between the two teams
in this city, the trustees could not say.
The agreement Is now up to the
West Point authorities, The report de-
clares. A communication has been re.
ceived by the university trustees from
the Naval Academy stating that they
have communicated with West Point
regarding a renewal OF the contract.
No further word has been received
from the Army or the Navy.
