TO HAVE GOOD SCHEDULE.
Middies May Arrange Foot Ball
Games With Princeton and Penn.

ANNAPOLIS. Nd, December ao-The
Midshipmen will have a strong foot ball
schedule next season. if the efforts OF the
management of the team bear fruit 1t is
the desire to have at least two big teams
on the schedule. and just now Princeton
and the University Of Pennsylvania have
the preference. The tentative dates with
these two are I'm October. and it is hoped
they will be arranged.
The local contingent realizes that the
schedules of the last few years have been
entirely too weak. compared with the
strong teams developed by the Middies
This fact made a deep impression during
the late season. as Penn State proved the
most formidable opponent But the Mid
dies were trained to high pitch all the
way. and the result was disastrous de-
feat at the hands OF the rival West Point
Cadets in the supreme contest.
It is felt that the Middies should have
been pitted against more formidable OPP
ponents during the early part of the sea-
son, in order TO get a line on their weak
ness.

were forced to bow to the superior all

The inability of the visitors to take adj
