Must the Army->avy Football
Game he Abandoned?

The annual football game between
Annapolis and West Point Is one OF the
finest contests Of the year, well worth
travelling a long distance to see. Gen
erals and Admiras on the active and
retired lists delight in the spectacle,
and the President is sometimes present,
sitting on the army side in one half and
crossing the field in state TO give the
midlcs the benefit Of his distinction
in the other half. The struggle is glor'-
ously won and honorably lost.
Unfortunately the old controversy
about Tho selection Of a playing ground
is raging this sea son with more acer-
bity than ever The Secretaries have
iutervened in vain. Mr.. GARRISON
throws up his hands and Mr.. DANIELS
AcspaIrs. Slnguarly II seems to be a
question that the youngsters are al
lowed 10 settle for themselves. and II
happens that no available city between
Annapolis and Wet Point Is the same
distance from the two academies.
The deadlock seems beyond breaking
and the annual game may be abandoned
for this year and perhaps for all years
II occurs 10 us that the Commander
| in Chief might make the decision that
the cadets cannot make for themselves
They would hardly object to him a,
! arbiter.
