tice during which they have been per-
fecting the plays designed especially
for use against the Army cadets in
the service championship struggle
next Saturday, no special preparation
was made for today's contest, and
friends of the Navy expected the team

no idea of checking the unbeaten
Navy eleven, the varsity lads came
with the de determination of breaking
into their unsullied seasons racord
of not having scored single point,
by registering at least one tally

Yale and Harvard Clash.
The Harvard stadium is the mecca
