sy TOM THORPE,

The football season Of 1913 is slowly
approaching the "great divide, The
final classic of the season will be staged
when Uncle Sam Is future admirals and
generals clash in New York City. This
contest should prove a fitting finale
for one of the most interesting seasons
that the gridiron game has experienced
in O great number Of years,
The reversal of form suffered by
| some of our so-called major college
teams were so pronounced that the foot.
ball public was kept in n constant state
Of uncertainty, which, by the way, has
added considerably to the interest and
popularity OF the game. If this factor
can again find its way into the sport
next season. the exponeuts Of the au-
tumn game may look forward to re-
to witness more of the early fall games
and not wait for tne final champion
ship affairs.
Aside from the fact that the Army.
Navy game is TO be held for the first
time in Greater New York, and that
football interest is at fever heat, the
clash between these two service teams
has always been classed as one of the
greatest fiohts of the year. This sea-
Navy Appears Stronger.
Comparing the teams. man for man,
the Annapolis delegation appears to
have little on their West Point broth

class In every department of the game
than the cadets Their record of over
whelming victories is second to no ag-
eregation in the country; in fact, | be-
lieve if the midshipmeH would meet
Harvard, Yale, Dartmouth or Prince

On the other hand, the Army constit"
uents have duly to their credit sea-

the hands Of Notre Dame will stare
them in the face, causing the coaches
much worry. That great many of the
faults exhibited by the soldiers in thar
contest have been corrected is testified

last few games. That they are deter

Not only are these men exceptional
line-plungers, but they excel in open
field running, and as defensive backs
they have on many occasions proved
their worth by bulwarking their line
in such fashion that the coaches have
been able to allow the linemen to
make the initial charge in almost a

The cadets secondary defense has at
times been very faulty, especially when
called upon TO intercept forward passes.

End Men Capable.
At the extremity positions little is
TO be given either team, Captain Gill
christ and Ingram for the middies as
well as Markee and Merillat for West
Point are high-class end men, They
all possess Il whirl Of speed in getting
down under punts; they tackle hard in
the open, box tackles as only good ends
can, and play exceptional and crafty
football at all times. In weighing
these men the scales strike more OF
balance than III any other position
on the respective elevens
The real battle of the contest should
be at tho tackle position. In Wynne
and Weyand the future generals are
represented by two sturdy players who
have had abundance of experience and
who can be. relied upon to fight from
start to finish. Vaughan, who will
face Wynne, is player who loves to
fight and who has knowledge of foot
ball that very few other men playing
the game can boast. He is fast, hard
charger and never allows his opponent
to outguess him.
At the other tackle Wsyand will be
called upon to handle one Of the best
men that the midshipmen have had in
great number of years and he will
find that his task is no easy one. These
two players should furnish m oxhi.

ring in recent years By this do not
mean that they will resort to any foul
playing, but they are both hard fight

At the Republican convention held at
Lansing, Mich, on Tuesday the perma-

Colonel Roosevelt carried the state by

Legislature chosen was strongly Re
publican in both branches. The divi-

go deep, and ii is probable that the
