UPSET IN DOPE NOT
UNLIKELY, HOWEVER
Notable Throng in Philadelphia
to See Service Game-Daniels z
Among Spectators
BY HAL SHERIDAN

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 2s.-Army
and Navy will clamp the lid on the
1914 football season at Penn field this
afternoon. The game Is the nine
teenth between Uncle Sans service :
schools, and indications pointed to
record attendance for this annual pie y
turesque ending OF the gridiron year.
Army enters the game q top-heavy
fayorite by virtue OF her record of '
no defeats for the season Another +;
factor that gave the West Pointers az
big edge In the betting was the mem 4
DRY OF Nays defeat at the hands OF
the weak Pennsylvania eleven. How-g'
ever, there were many wise ones who n
pointed to tradition In predicting a.
chance for the Middies. There have
been several instances In the past
when the topheavy fayorite in Army-f'
Navy struggles have been defeated az
la the turning worm. M
A peek at the figures show Navy
TO have an advantage OF three pounds
only over the Army's average OF 1861
pounds. IL Is In the backfeld that q
Army Is outweighed most. Back OF Y
the line the Navy averages TO-
pounds Army 165. Army has a two
pound advantage in the line, with an
average OF 1872 pounds. 81
The preponderance in quantity Of y
pounds. however, is very much Offset n
by Army's admitted superiority In the
matter OF quality OF the beef. Nc
Evan, at center, Is one OF the best

ball have shown on any field Pritch- Z
ards generalship and handling or {
punts and broken field running abil-
ity have stamped him one OF the best.

on whom the Middies place most

Bates make up the remainder OF the
backfield, and when the word Is shot
over the wire, Failing gains for !.
Navy" II will not be unexpected. and (
won't mean what Il sounds like.
In the Is games Army and Navy
have played, the Annapolis cadets i
have won nine to eight victories by Z
Army. There has been but one tie
game, that OF 1905, when each scored
six points, Navy has shut out Army
six times and been shut out only
once. To Army holds the palm for
running up the biggest scores In
/, Army.Navy contests. The West
Pointers beat Navy 40 to In 1903,
and 32 to 16 In 1891. Nays biggest
score against Army came In 1892
when the Middies won, IL to 4.
But the game was not the whole !
thing here today. The crowd was ex- |
pected TO come In for as much notice
| as the game. Secretary Daniels
promised TO SIT with the Naval ca
diets, and Secretary Garrison has
promised to Iend proxy Many
other government officials. forei IN
