ARKg'f-NAV BATTLE.
Babe Brown Expected to Prove VaIu-
 able for Navy.

Will the my-Navy football game, to be played next Saturday at the Polo Grounds In New York city for the first time produce a new gridiron hero of the spectacular series between Uncle Sams fighting training schools, or will Babe Brown, the husky right guard and placement kicker of the Navy team, who was the hero of last year s game, repeat the trick with his mighty toe and gain fresh laurels?
 Will the changing of the stage for the game from Philadelphia to New York enhance the prescience which the contest has attained from it's long years on Franklin Field, or, despite able at the Polo Grounds, will the problem of transportation show the change to have been 8 mistake?
 Will the playing of this years game in New York, within striking distance of West Points home gr1diron, cause break" in favor of the Army, which has been defeated for the past three years without scoring on the Navy: 30, 80 and 60?
 These are the questions to be an- swered next Saturday, and owing to the uniuue official and social position they are equally as interesting as the plain query: Who will win this years gamer
 Many Heroes Uncovered.
 Many heroes are uncovered in Army Navy games, the same as the Brickleys, the Guernsseys, the Bakers, the Marshalls the HogSettS and the Guyons are produced in the gridiron battles are produced In the gridtron battles between the other big teams. Of course every member of a winning Army or Navy team is regarded as nero by the West Point cadets or the. Annapolis midshipmen, but there are many games in the series that have been won by the individual proWess of some one player
 Last year the hero was Brown, who twice booted the ball over the Army's goal from field placement kicks, for the only score of the game. In each of the two previous years 1911 and 1910, the same Navy player" Jack Dalton, a slashing halfback-was the hero. In each game he kicked field goal for the only score. Brown ac- complished in one game the feat that Dalton spread over two contests.
 The Navy's gridiron heroes are closely associated with kicking field 9oals, and the Annapolis teams have won many more victories by that method of scoring than has the Army Prior to the days of Dalton and Brown in the game of 1906, Percy Northcroft g Navy tackle twice drop ped back from the line and kicked field goals, one of them being from the 48- ward 6SElQGS ure in the Navys 10-0 victory in that game Northcroft broke g string of four Army victories and tie which had been the result of the preceding five games.
 Worth BagIey Hero.
 Way back in the early days, when the Army Navy series went through it's in fent stage with four games, of which the Navy won three, one of the star nJic tn0 slcs Worth Bagley, who several years later proved himself a hero of real battle by giving up his life in the early part of the Spanish American war. Ensign Bagley was the first United States of ficer to be killed in the war, and he met death while directing a lombard rnent by his gunboat upon Spanish fort
 Prominent among the Arrny's foot ball heroes of the past stands Lieuten- ant Charles D. Daily, who is head coach of the West Point team this year. Daily starred in the game of 1901, Vwhen he was 8 plebe at West Point He had entered the military academy that year with the prestige of having been quar- terback Of the Harvard team during the three preceding years, and he was looked upon to add to his reputation in the Arny-Navy game.
 The Army won that notable game by the score of 11-5. and Daly came up to by scoring all of the win l ming team's points, He drop-kcked ! field goal in the first half for five | points, which the Navy equa11ed by | scoring a touchdown. but failing to | kick the goal. At the beginning Of l the second half Daly received the kick l off, and ran 98 yards through the en- 1 tire Navy team for touchdown, from 1 which he also kicked a goal.
