played at the Polo grounds. New
York. Saturday, Is filled with peculiar
sentiment that no other game in the
world could be.
There may be better football when
Harvard meets Yale. or when Dart
mouth meets the Indians, but there Is
never any more lively feelings of In
terest and loyalty throughout the
country.
This year that weird interest that
Is always aroused is increased by
speculation as to what man Will De
the hero OF the contest. Ii Is Gus.
tomary for one Of the elevens To fur
uish 4 real hero whenever the two
teams meet.
Last year the man was Brown wno
booted the bali over the Army's goa
twice on kicks from placement Tor
the only counters OF the game.
In, the two previous years the hero
was = Navy man. also. Dalton. who
Kicked one goal in each year, again
for the only scores of the contest.
Football fans are wondering II his
(. tory will repeat itself and Brown will
again boot the ball for the victory
= Dalton did after his FIRST success.
unloes they are strong for the Army
they ere hoping that It will, for they
ME tradition I'm these historic con-
nicts.
Heroes and goals from the field
have gone together In the Navy elev-
e.. Before the days Of Brown and
Dalton, Northcro6t Was the man on
the pedestal. He was tackle who
dropped back from the line In 1906
twice and kicked field goals. one OF
them from the 4S-yard line.
One Of tho Army's greatest heroes
Il Charles d. DAILY, who 10 now coach
ing the cadets. DAILY starred on the
Army team away back In 1901. when
he was only plebe. or what universe
ties call . freshman. He had al
ready played on the Harvard team
fa1d was expected to make a great
I. showing. -
4 The Army won from the Navy in
the game that DAILY played in by q
score Of 1l-5. DAILY scored all the
( points for the Army. He drop kicked
I eoal In the hrst half and took the
\ I1cko4 1t the beginning OF the sec
! ood half, running the length OF the
held for q touchdown.
There 10 another bit Of sentiment
connected with Saturdays game that
Il unusual. Four men Will play their
fourth game against each other.
II the Navy wins the game. two
OF the men will have defeated the
other two four times In q row. II
the Army wins, two OF the men Will
have the satisfaction Of the last
hugh. st least.
Brown and Capt. Gilchrist are the
players who are in their fourth year
for the Army. Only one man has ever
participated In four victories over
either team That was Capt. Graves
& who was q member of the Army team
when II beat the Navy four years In
y : row, 1901 to 1904.
The Army men now on the team
y who will receive their fourth defeat
80 West Point loses Saturday, are
\ Capt. Hoge, a halfback, and Huston,
= guard.
Another coincidence that IL -re-
variable IL that the rival coaches
were graduated from their institutions
In the same year. DAILY finished at
West Point In 1905. and Coach How
ard OF the Navy, at Annapolis, at the
same time.
Strange to say these two men never
met on the gridiron, for DAILY played
only the first two years he was In
& school and Howard only the two last
