athletic authorities that all negotiations
with Annapolis for the arranGement OF
future football games be abandoned. This
action ended the unsuccessful attempts

The Secretary Of the Navy. Mr.. Daniels,

rison then advised West Point to cal! the

This dispute has now continued for sev-
eral months, and there is little question
that tho deadlock and Mr. Garrison's
drastic recommendations wei prevent any
game this year and even seriously
threaten the continuance of this yearly
contest on the gridiron between the Army
and the Navy.
The Navy now objected to this scheme
because t discovered that Washington

Navy could obtain would be Ph!ladelphia
That would place the game every other

raining Table Idea of
Coach Brooke at Penn
Thought to Be a Very
Wise Move.
By EDWARD R. BUSHNELL

DiscIplintng tagging football players by
dropping them from a training table is
something new in Gridron strategy. But
hereafter any man who partakes of the
carefully selected food at the PennsyI-
vana training table will have to play
football up TO the standard set by Coach
George H Brooke. This training table is
TO be an exclusive place, and a seat there
will be a seat OF honor. Eleven players
found that out yesterday.
This is distinctly Pennsylvania inno-
walton, and the idea is good one. There
is no ground for any OF the men dropped
homes or boarding houses TO get their
meals to feel that they have been unfairly
dealt with. Every player now knows that
he has set before him Il standard of eff
cheney which, If he maintains, will assure
him a place of honor at the Quaker train
rG table. Failure to meet II means that
he will be summar.ly dropped. Still there
will be no limit to the number of players
who may be at the table. As Captain
JouTneay said. in commenting on the
new rule, they would have 80 men at the
table II 20 mrn could be found who meas
ursd up to their standard.
Perhaps II was this drastic ruling on
the CoaCh's part that put new life into
the Quaker eleven yesterday. Anyhow
the varsity regulars went At the scrubs
with more spirit than they have shown
any time this season. In II minutes time
tEe regulars took the ball across the
scrubs goal line three times. Two of the
touchdowns were made by Merrill and
the third by Avery, This big halfback
took a long forward pass from Irwin. who
replaced Merrill AT quarterback, and then
dashed 20 yards down the field for the
touchdown.
Pennsylvania is not looking for an easy
