WANTS GAME HERE
Officers Hope Annual Clash Can Be Played Washington

Tab On Every Move.

ANNAPOLIS, Aug. a-Oficers con.
nected with athletics at the Naval Acad.
emy were ditinctly hopeful today that
the efforts OF the heads Of the Army
and Navy Departments and senior off,
GERS Of the service wold save the foot
ball game between the two academies
this year, and there was a distinct veer-
ing of sentiment toward Washington as
the scene of future contests. Most naval
officers have a preference for the Ma
tional Capital, but have refrained from
proposing 1t on. account of the nearness
to Annapolis and distance from West
Point.
It Is now felt that the Army repre-
entatives have answered that argument
by proposing New York, which is al
most as far from the Naval Academy.
and supplied another by arguing for a
location which would give the game a
national character, as was done in the
formal statement issued by the Army
Athletic Council. Thus, using their own
argument, Washington Is clearly indi-
Gated as the proper place for subse-
quent games. Probably the arrange
ments could not be made for this year.
but II will certainly be proposed for
next season.
Lieut. Com. Arthur P. Fairfield, who
has general charge Of the mudshipmen's
athletics, and is also one OF the represen-
tatives of the Naval Academy in the con-
ference with the Army over the game,
arrived In Annapolis this morning. He
said that he, with other navy officers,
would like TO see the game played in
Washington, but had refrained from
the proposition because Of its
distance from West Point. Lieut.. Doug
las L. Howard, head coach Of the team,
would also like to see the game played
in Washington.

comment on the action In any way,
many other officers do not hesitate 70
say that this action of the Army men
constituted q decided discourtesy, and
there Is considerable feeling In the mat
ter. Much surprise Is felt that the Army
should take such an arbitrary position,
and make propositions as to the place OF
playing which seem so impracticable,
particularly in view Of the three sue
cessive defeats which II has sustained
from the Navy.
Should the service game not be played
this year, the local season will be con-
Quoted very differently. Instead of the
whole season being carried on to bring
the team TO its highest point at the end
of the season. with little reference to
its success in the earlier games, the at
tempt will be made TO win every game
II possible. Steps will also be taken
to bring one or the classiest teams Of
the country here on November q, for a
final game.
JF3 games ar .anged to be played in
Annapolis this season are as follows:
Octobera4, University of Pittsburgh;
october II, Georgetown; October IS,
Dickinsin; october Is, Maryland Agri-
cultural College; November /. Lehigh;
November s. BuekneIl: November II:
Pennsylvania State College: November
%, New York University. The coaches
would endeavor to counteract any
dampening of spirits which might re-
Iesuit Lon the loss oi the incentive oI
the big final game. Losing only two
men Of last years powerful team, the
Navy should have a great eleven this
year, and ought to give any team in the
country trouble.
There is general hopefulness here,
however. about the prospect of Sc
curing an adjustment of the differences
between the authorities of the two
academies. The fact that West Point
has closed its arrangement with Car
Isle might look to be an insuperable
bar. but it is pointed out that both of
these schools are under the direction

Record says: ......
Governor Blease's attitude as be-
tween the people Of Columbia and his
negro chauffeur Is illustrative of Gu
rious trait in human nature. 1t re-
calls what is said to have been one Of
the growing tendencies of the slavery
conditions in ante-bellum times-the
aristocratic tendency Of the slave
owner to regard himself as better than
his non-slaveholding neighbors, made
of q superior clay-so much so that
even his "nigger" was encouraged to
believe himself better than the 'po'
white trash" and to look down on them.

average negro at the drop of hat, or

with and trained in the fundamental
safeguards which that great science
throws around the life and liberty OF
the citizen, he does not deem 1t essen
tial in such cases that the evidence be
sifted or the formalities OF legal pro-
cess be pursued. at all. But an antipo-
dal case is presented when his negro
chauffeur is prosecuted by the contu,

exceeding the speed limit at the peril
of the lives Of the people: The word
