ARMY NAVY BATTLE WILL
 TAKE PLACE AT PHILADELPHIA
Agreement Has Finally Been Reached
 and Assurance of the Game for the Next Five Years.

West Point, N. Y, Oct. 1s.-An agreement has finally been reached by the West Point and Annapolis acade- mics. whereby the continuance of the annual Army Navy football game for the next five years is assured, it was definitely announced here late today. By this arrangement, which has been approved by the athletic coun- cils of both academies and by the sec retary of war and of the navy, each academy alternately will select the site for the game, the choice this year to be given to the Navy. The site is not to be south of Washington, or north of New York
 The middies will choose Franklin field Philadelphia and November 2S as the place and date of this years contest. In 1915 and 1917 the Army will pick the site, which undoubtedly will be the Polo grounds in New York.
 A similar plan. stipulating the same terms. but running for ten years in- stead of five. was offered to the two athletic councils recently by Secre- tarieS Garrison and aniels. It was accepted by the Army, but rejected by the Navy.
 The news of a final agreement was received here with great enthusiasm by officers and cadets, and the work

EASTERN ASSOCIATION HELD
 MEETING IN NEW LONDON
Treasursrs Report Showed League in Good condition-it ls Learned That Waterbury Franchise Is for Sale.

New London, Conn, Oct. 19.-Rou- tine business only was transacted at the annual meeting of the Eastern Baseball association here today. New London was formally awarded the pennant and acceptance was made by Manager McCann. Morton F. Plant, owner of the local club, was not pres ent
 The session was an executive one and the directors were reticcent as to what had been done. It is understood that the treasurer's report showed the association to be in good financial condition, although no figures were given out. It was learned, upoficja1ly, that Manager Scinsbi of New Britain has met all his obligations, with the exception of 8 small bill, and that he has paid to tbe national conInisston the protection fee for his franchise. Whether or. not Mr. GcinslSi will place a team insSNew Britain again; or Wh ether 4tS , would transfer tue fraD- chise to another city could not be learned. . @s#
 It was also rlnforeG that t5ere was some possibility of the Waterbury club being moved. 1t was learnsd that the franchise is on the market and it Is said that an offer had been made to "Micky' Finn. The directors had nothing to say concerning either of the reports
 Adjournment was taken until the second Monday in January. when a meeting will be held in New Haven. All the directors were present except ing Manager Clarkin of Hartford and Manager Cameron of New Haven, President O'Rourlxe holding both proxies.

BATTLE OF CRIDION STRATEGY
Most Important Game of Season Takes Place Saturday When Michigan Meets Harvard-Fnst Time These Two Teams Have Met in Twenty-one Years-Boh Teams Have Excellent Records This Season.

New York, Oct. 16.-The most inn portant insectiona1 football game of . the present. season will be played in the Harvard stadium on Saturday, when the Michigan and Harvard teams meet for the first time in twenty -one years. As representatives of the eastern and western methods of at tack and defense the two elevens hold high rank in their respective territor- les. Because of this fact and the er- ce1lent records made by both teams in the early games this fall the re- suit of the contest will be awaited with more than usual interest by fol- lowers of football through the coun- try.
 The personal of the teams and coaching staffs add greatly to the in- terest in the contests since both reputation and the battle of gridiron strategy between coach Haughton of Harvard and Yost of Michigan should develop some of the sensational plays for which these football generals are noted. Harvard will be handicapped by the absence of Captain Briclley the famous drop-kick scorer but in other respects the Crimson should be able to show an initial lineup fully equal to that which won the chief honors of 1913. Michigan with 'fullback Splawn for bunting and op-kicking, Haug- hitt at quarter, Maulbetch and Boefm at 1lalfback, has a, backfield of excep- tional calibre and one equal in ability to the Crimson trio, Logan, Bradlee and iMalnan. The lines of both teams are fast and heavy and strong in both offensive and defensive play.
 Presuming that the. .elevens enter the game equally strong the ultimate vic tory may rest with the coaching staffs and the system of attack which. they adopt. Both Haughton and Yost are masters of the football strategy and

 Closes December 19.

Beginning on Wednesday at Ithaca, Columbia, Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Cornell, Pennsylvania and Haverford will contest their annual series for the intercollegiate soccer championship now held by Harvard, and hitherto played for in the spring, instead of in the fall.

 Another change in the rules of the league provides that, in case of a tie. the two teams must play off, instead of determiningi the championship through the total number of goals scored. Harvard and Pennsylvania were tied last season, but, thanks to a better goal average, Harvard won the title.

SUMMER BASEBALL
 DEFINED AT YALE
No Professional Athlete is Eligible to
 Play on all Teams.

Eligibility rules for athletes who de- sire to represent Yale in competition with other institutions, with the re- visions recently made, have been is- sued. Summer baseball is mentioned in the first rule, which provides as follows:
 ''No professional athlete and no man who has ever received any per cuniary reward or any emolument whatsoever by reason of his con- nection with athletics, such as the receiving of board for playing sum- mer baseball, coaching or acting as teacher in any branch of athletics whatsoever shall represent Yale on any athletic team or crew."
 Eligibility is limited to a man who is candidate for a degree requiring two years residence in college, and whose academic standing is at or above the required figure for good standing.
 The revised rules, it is stated, clear up points in the old rule, and make more stringent the conditions under which a man can attain the honor of representing the university in all branches of intercollegiate sport.

because of the importance of the con- test some exceptionally brilliantly plays are likely to be uncovered. Coach Yost has stated that he considers the Harvard game one of the biggest in sectional matches of recent years. Western football experts predict that he will spring several intricate plays that will startle the eastern followers of the sport Evidently something of this sort is expected for the advance sale of seats for the game has been unusally heavy and a capacity crowd of more than 35,000 is forecasted for the stadium on Saturday.

Trumbull. Pennock and Sweetzer

Trumbul, Pennock and Sweetzer.
 It.. was thought that, if necessary. Harvard could present it's stronpast lineup, lacking only Bricbley, 'against Penn State next Saturday.
 Taking leaf from the book of football strategy at. Yale, the Harvard coaches today had on the field the canadian rugby players. members of the Aerts of Hamilton. Ont, from whom they epect to learn the fine points of effective passing. With mem bers of the Harvard second team the Canadians used the open play against the Crimson first eleven.
 During this practice the varsity had a new face in the backfield in Hugo Francke. a young giant, who emerged rom a two years retirement when injuries threatened to demoralizer the squad. Much is expected of, him by the coaches. "

GIANTS PITCHERS CRACKED

One Reason Why Braves Led the
 Giants.

During the past season the Giants pitchers cracked more under the strain when it came to being located for home runs than the Braves hurl- CTS, Mathewson & Co, being reached for forty-six four-baggers and Ru- doip and his associates for thirty eight. The Surprising thing about the homers gleaned off the two staffs Is that no less than sixteen were made off Christy. Matl1ewson, whose work was just as able in 1914 as it was in many of the preceding campaigns. Vic Safer, Chicago first baseman. reached Big Six for g. quartet of circuit clouts, and Ivy Wingo and 'fChief'' Wilson of the St. Louis Car dinals each got to the Old Master for tive.

A Priceless Cooked Hen.

Of cooking on the march, one recalls a recipe of Charles XII, which may appeal to our men in the field Given fat hen, then, Charles was always sure of good dinner. The fowl was larded. trused and stuffed with but ter. Then, to quote MT. Hackwood. "a piece of hot steel was inserted into it's belly. 1t was then shut up in a tin box, which was wrapped in a woolen cloth and strapped on soldiers back. In few hours when the march came to an end 1t was found sufficiently cooked" But, to cap this, there is the story of the Tartars who cooked their meat while gailoping on horseback by using it as a saddle."-London Chron- icle.

To the inquirer.

The football field was formerly 330 feet long and in 19r2 the goal posts were brought in so that the distance from one goal line to the other goal line is now 300 feet or an even 1o0 yards, but behind each goal the extra space 10 yards, thus cut off is retained foEEthe purposes of-fhe-forwardA pass.
