GAME
NOW UP TO SCHOOLS
Department Secretaries Refuse
to Take Any Further Part
in Negotiations.

WASHINGTON Oct. THE ath-
letic associations at Annapolis and
West Point must reach a prompt
agreement If there is to be an Army
Navy football game this year.
The conference between Secretary
Daniels and Lieutenant Commander
Fairfield of the naval academy yes
terday failed to bring about an I'M
Outstanding, and both the Navy man
and Colonel Wilcox, representing
West Point, were personally notified
that the war and navy departments
had made their last efforts to find a
solution of the disagreement as to
the scene of the game.
Both Secretary Garrison and Sec
rotary Daniels have washed their
hands of the matter since the naval
academy rejected their proposal for a
ten-year agreement, each institution
selecting on alternate years the city
where the game should be played.
The Representatives of the academies
were told that there was no new
plan to offer or to consider.
Secretaries Garrison and Daniels
said last night that they had no
authority to order the game played
and they had come into the discus
sions only upon being requested to
do so by the respective institutions.
Mr. Garrison said the Army Athletic
Association officials had advised him
they would not play unless the ten
year agreement was adopted.

EDDIE MAHAN LOST
TO HARVARD SQUAD
Star HaIfback Will Be Out for
Several Weeks With In
jured Leg.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Oct. Ed
ward Mahan, crack halfback of the
Harvard football team, will be unable
to play for several weeks, it was
learned last night. Mahan pulled a
tendon in his left leg during the game
with the Springfield Y. NJ. c. A. Col
lege last Saturday. The extent of his
injury was not known until yesterday.
1t is probable that Nc Kinlock will
take his place in the Harvard lineup
against Washington and Jefferson
next Saturday.
1t is not likely that the coaches will
risk using Mahan until the game with
Princeton here, November Z, although
he may be available a week earlier,
when Harvard will play Michigan. He
was present on the side lines yester-
day, but took no part in the practice.

As rule there is generally a
side show with every big perform
ance and the opening game played
between the Barringer and East
Side High School football teams of
the Newark High Schools Athletic
Association yesterday at the City
Athletic Field was no exception
Two incidents came up during the
contest. one which might be termed
amusing and the other of more
serious nature.
In the final period of play Hook,
of Barringer, intercepted an in
tended East Side forward pass ana
started on his way to make a
touchdown against his own school
team He had not gone more than
fifteen yards before Cairns, realiz-
ing the situation, was forced to
tackle his own team mate TO pre-
vent an apparent score.
Towards the latter part OF the
game Mounted Policeman John
Hager, of the Second precinct. was
thrown heavily 10 the ground by
his horse which started to bolt in
front of the grand stand. Despite
the fact that the horse fell ON top
of him. Hager managed to cling on
TO the reins which prevented the
animal from dashing into the crowd.
