New York, Dec. 29-Unless all signs

Army Navy game on Saturday follow

important college teams decided at the
Polo Grounds. Secretary John b. Fos-

the leading college elevens will be seen

The Carlisle Indians, who scored a
notable victory over the Dartmouth
eleven here a year ago, are anxious to
return and if possible, one of the big
games on the Carlisle schedule will be
played at the Polo Grounds New
York Alumni of Dartmouth are also
interested in movement to bring the
big Green team here again. A game
in which either of these elevens takes
part would be certain to draw a large
crowd. Brown and Cornell are likely
TO play their annual game here again.
and both Rutgers and Washington and
Jefferson are anxious to come back.

FOOTBALL ARMY
SHOWS BIG INCREASE
Gridiron Sport Takes Lead For the
Largest Number of Players;
Work Is Improving

Summing up sport records for the
year gives football the lead in num-
Der of players. The records do not
.include the many independent and
smaller teams.
intercollegiate football during the
last season was played by 450 colleges
5000 secondary schools and by 1900
teams not connected with educational
institutions, but representing athletic
associations. large and small accord
ing to Parke Fl. Davis, Princeton men,
Sber of the intercollegiate rules COM
mittee.
Thirty-four thousand games were
played and $4,000 players participant
ed in the games and practice.
Notwithstanding the distractions of
war and the handicaps of tight money,
more people than ever before attended
the games of the country, estimates
placing the number around 7,292,00O
persons. The elimination in attend
ance, of course, was at the Harvard
Yale game. when 10000 persons occu-
pied almost twenty-nine miles Of seats
in the magnificent Yale bowl.
In all departments of individual play
the performances of 1914 surpass
those of 1913. The cause of this pro-
nounced progress is the great num-
! lbers playing the game, which neces-
sarily is advancing the standards. \
pleasing feature of the record feats of
the year is their widespread locations
East West, North, South, major eleven
and minor, thus indicating the settled
nationality of the sport
The largest sum of scores against all
opponents is presented by the Mis-
as Rolla, which accumulated $50
points to its opponents none. In the
East the leading exponent of heavy
scoring is Washington and jefferson.

Philadelphia, Dec. 29.-Two rules
recently adopted by the National Lea
que may be revised or rescinded at the

cal policies the league passed one rule
which set March / as the earliest date
at which Spring training would be al
lowed: the other the 21 roster limit
between May 1 and September l.
Both these amendments met with
opposition from a small minority dur
ing the meeting, but were carried on
the wave of popular economical ten
dencies which had organized baseball
in its clutches at that time. Prob
ably they would remain on the books
had the American League seen fit to
vote the same changes. The American
League will not limit its training
period and proposes a roster of % in
stead of 81 players.

main building. while the service por-
ton of the house occupies a wing to
one side. The simple entrance at the
centre Of the building gives into n wide
hall of such proportions that 1t may
almost be counted a room in itself. To
one side is the large living room with
windows on three sides ana having a
large open firep,ce at the centre OF the
outside wall. French easement windows
open on TO a low brick paved covered
porch. To the other side OF the en-
rance hall is the dining room, one Of
good size, also containing large open
fireplace. Space bach OF the dining
room Is occupied by n study room and
the pantry. Through the pantry the
kitchen is Of good size and we'll ar
ranged. There IL a service entry and
a stairway in II leading both to tho cell
lar and to the sleeping floor above.
The second floor plan shows a re-
markablc economy OF space. Nothing Is
wasted. Where corners appear which
cannot be used for anything else the
architects have worked in Closets until
there are enough OF them to satisfy even
the most exactinR housewife The bed
rooms are planned too 80 that the beds
can conveniently be placed In more than
| one spot. There are four principal bed
rooms, all OF good size. two OF them
being lighted from two sides and none
having less than two windows. The
bathroom is placed equally distant from
the entrances to the bedrooms.
In the wing over the kitchen is the

This arrangement provides for com
