Harold Hilton Favors
International Match

NEW YORK. Nov. 13.-The idea of an
annual International golf match some
what along the line of the Davis Cup
tournament in tennis has been seconded
by Harold II. Hilton. the British cham
pion. He IS quoted as saying that the
abandonment of the team match be-
tween Scotland and England, which has
been an annual event for many years
in Great Britain. may be succeeded by
an amateur international match in
which England and Scotland will meet
"a allies instead of rivals with their
opponents hailing from the other side
OF the Atlantic"
The idea Of a regular international
golf match has already received fay-
orable consideration in this country. but

NAVY TEAM TO DRAW

Thinks Line on Army Can Be
Gotten From Penn State
Team by Comparison.

ANNAPOLIS. Nd, Nov. 13.-Satur-
days game against Pennsylvania State
is the last local contest for the Naval
Academy football team in which special
interest will be taken by the Naval
Academy contingent. Not only has State
been a worthy opponent of the midship-
men for many years, but the game will
furnish the best basis of comparison
between the two service teams that VIII
be possible in advance of the final game.
There have been no teams which meet
both of the Academy elevens this season
so that the only comparison is an IN
direct one. unreliable though such COM
parsons are recognized as being.

that the indications strongly favor a VIC
tory over the Army. Apart from this
the game should be worth seeing on Its

Notre Dame indicates great improve

Navy coaches, and the strongest lineup

This will probably be the last time

much trouble is anticipated from New
York University, which gives the mid

HAUGHTON PLEASED
WITH TEAMS SHIFT
Hardwick Given Attention at
New Position on End by
Coach Leo Leary.

CAMBRIDGE. Mass, Nov. 13.-Coach
Haughton expressed himself as being
satisfied with the showing made by
the team after the shift and will give
attention to the reorganized eleven
again today.
The major portion of the time allotted
to outdoor work was given to a lengthy
dummy scrimmage between the varsity
and the second team, which was imme-
diately followed by q twenty minute
''go-as-you-please" scrimmage between
the regulars and their substitutes.
The work in the tackleless duel with
the scrubs was mainly &c accustom the
men to their new positions. the ball al
times being given to one team and then
the other.
Coach Leo Deary gave Tack Hard
wick especial attention at end. She
star halfback, although unacquaintcd
with his new assignment, played up to
his great reputation for speed and bril-
liancy, Gilman also went about his
work at left guard with the assurance
of a veteran. He gives promise of
putting UP as classy an article of ball
as he did at tackle.
