!. ON RECENT GREAT
ARMY-NAW GAME
Sterling Wood Tells of In
definable Something in Air
That FOretOId an Army
Victory

Sterling A. Wood, having returned from
New York, where he and Mrs. Wood at
tended the Army and Navy football
game, was asked yesterday to tell some
thing about the exciting event.
$50 much has been said about the game
that it seems that all has been said that
could be said" said Mr.. Wood, but there
are some things that may be overlooked
by experts. II We begin at the end OF
the game, we find the singular fact that
the setting was as if the Navy had pre-
pared for defeat and the Army had pre-
pared for victory, although everyone said,
and all betting was to the contrary AL
leging that the distance from New York
to Annapolis was the reason, the thousand
Navy midshipmen were not allowed any
liberty at all In New York. but after the
game were marched directly to their train
on their return trip to Annapolis.
1T did look as they were marched off
the ground as If they went there prepared
for defeat; they were no doubt glad to ge.
away from the joyous celebration o.
their most friendly enemies. To the con-
trary, the Cadets were allowed liberty
from after the game until $3.50 p. IN. They
had grand banquet with a thousand
seats arranged in advance for the Army
and themselves at the Astor hotel, and
everything set beforehand as il to eele-
brate victory and they did celebrate it,
thing they had not done for four long
years Football people say that some IN
definable something is the thing that be-
tween two evenly matched teams turns
the tide and earns the victory There
was something in the air that the Army
came to win, arranged to stay and cele-
brate a victory, and did SO.
I'VE have had the best descriptions of
the best writer's about the grounds, the
game, the $1,000 people assembled from all
over this and other countries, and the
magnificent settings with all the national
officers present. AS we know, the game
is not a commercial affair. The manage
ment sell enough tickets to pay the ex-
penses and the others are given to the
officers of the Army and Navy for them
selves and their friends. In my opinion,
the closeness of the score, the continued
tieing of the score, made it the greatest
game in American history. OF course, wei

Wood, of the second class at Annapolis
and Cadet Sterling A. Wood, Jr. of the
fourth class at West Point.
well, / was about to forget to say that
at $3.50 D. m. every cadet was at the Grand
Central depot, in more perfect discipline,
with no shadow of any dissipation. They
gave their cheers, with their cheer master|
leading, but none of the almost riotousI
tendency so often witnessed in non milf !

ANDREWS FIELD
TO Be IMPROVED
Extensive improvements on
Lookout Park to Begin
Shortly

Chattanooga, December 6.-(SpeciaD
Extensive improvements are shortly to
be begun at Andrews field in prepara-
tion for the 1914 season. The boxes are
to be entirely overhauled and general
repairs will take place upon the chairs
and seats. New uprights will be in
stalled under the bleachers where the
dampness has slightly weakened the
wooden piles near the base. When the
improvements are completed the stands
will be in first class condition for an
other season.
The diamond needs no attention at
all beyond ordinary care The infield
is acknowledged one of the best in the
league and the outfield, with it's cover
ing of grass, is now fast and in eX-
cellent condition. The use of the park
for football this fall did not injure the
grounds in the least as but little play
took place upon the diamond proper

WARNER BEING HAILED AS
BEST COACH IN BUSINESS
Has Done Wonders With
Enthusiastically of Ma
terial Has Been Handicap
Each Year

Philadelphia December 6.-The opinion
is rapidly gaining ground that the Car
Isle Indians not only have the best foot
ball team in the country, but that in
Glenn Warner they have the best coach.
Warmers task is harder than that con-
fronting the coaches at any of the big
colleges throughout the country. Where
the latter have material in vast quanti-
ties, Warner is limited in his raw and
finished product Then, too where
coaches like Yost of Michigan, Stage
of Chicago and Haughton of Harvard,
have the idolatrous worship of the
youngsters whom they teach, Warner has
to worm his way into the hearts of
the taciturn sons of the forest.
Warner was in his day a football man
NJ no mean ability. He played at quar-
ter of the Cornell team a dozen years
al SO ago. and he is still one of the he
toes of the Ithican past. He played on
the only Cornell team that has ever
beaten the University of Pennsylvania.
Finishing at Cornell, Warner went as
coach to Carlisle. He is a genius. Had
he not been he never could have whipped
the redskins into the shape that he has.
Pretty soon after his arrival at Carlisle
the Indians began to win victories and
they have kept it up ever since.
Warner finds himself every year with
barely enough material to recruit a scrub
eleven to practice against the varsity.

than 1as he in the past dozen years
No coach has placed on the grldron such

since Warner began coaching at Car
isle
See the problem Warner faced this
year. Thorpe was gone. Arcasa. not a
whit behind Thorpe as a splendid back
field man, refused to play. Wheelock, a
great guard and Bergie an end of con-
siderable ability, both were out of the
game.
1t was cnorgh to discourage any coach
other than Warner. He took Gunyol and
Calac, both of whom had been tackles
on the 1872 team, and developed then,
iilto backs. Guyon mas baan one of this

Cardiff. Wales, Oct. 14.--More than

Five hundred had been rescued up to

hour afterward a deafening report
brought the inhabitants in the vicinity
OF the mine running to the pit head.
where they found the ventilating and
hoisting machinery had been blown to
atoms. A man who had been working
sixty feet away had been decapitated
by tho force Of the blast.
Rescue Parties Formed.
Rescue parties OF miners belonging
to the mine shift were soon on the
scene making preparations to enter the
mine in an endeavor to save their COM
rades. The fiery reputat ton OF the
mine. however. give little hope that any
Of those below could be rescued alive.
An entrance was found by way OF an
adjacent shaft. On descending tho res-
cue parties came across several groups
Of men huddled together in portions OF
the mine where the air was still good.
BY noon they had picked up and
brought TO the surface altogether 500.
The same pit was the scene Of an eX-
pioson thirteen years ago whnll 120
miners lost their lives. Only one OF
those below at that time was rescued
alive.

To Submit Early Answer to United

Mexico City. Oct. 14.-An early
answer will be made by the Mexican
government to the communication
from Washington stating that the
United States would look with dis
pleasure on any injury to the Mexican
deputies under arrest, according to the
Mexican foreign minister, Querido Mo-
heno. 1t was the subject of cabinet
meeting which lasted until an early
hour this morning.
Mexico's reply probably will be de-
livered late today to Nelson O'Shaugh-
messy, American charge d'affaires.
Neither Mr.. O'Shaughnessy nor For
eign Minister Moheno would discuss
the terms Of the note, but Senor Mo-
heno described it "imperate."
At the conclusion of the cabinet
meeting Senior Monheno admitted the
receipt of the communication, saying:
"This incident marks new epoch In
our diplomatic relations with the un-
tied states. The conduct Of the AM
erican charge d'affaires has been cour-
teous and he is not responsible for the
Incorporate language of his govern
meut."
