The possibility of unpleasant weather has failed to check the enthusiasm of the thousands of Army and Navy officers, government officials, midshpmcn and ca dets gathering for the contest. A ma jority of the leading hotels are filed to- night with the representatives of the two branches of the service but the main contingent of out-of-town spectators will follow the example of President Wilson and arrive tomorrow in time for luncheon before going othe game.
 The nations executive who will be ac- companied by a large party of personal friends, vii! occupy special box on the Navy side of the field for one-half of the game, crossing the gridiron to the Army section between halves for the final two periods of the contest. The President will thus lend his presence and support to both academies during the 50 minutes of play.
 The general adherents of the two teams have not shown the same neutral attitude toward the game and there has been con- siderable wagering on the result. Early betting favored the cadets at odds of ) to 1. but there are indications that if the teams line up on water soaked field the soldiers are likely to be quoted at 10 to or possibly , to 3.
 Both the West Point and Annapolis squads held secret practice at the Polo grounds today at different times Early tonight they remained in secluson in their private suites, where a final talk of the coaches preceded d o'clock order of all lights out. The schedule of Saturday calls for nothing but d limbering- up walk after breakfast.

Two games eliminate the chances for
 Tech at the first honors. These were
 the Auburn and Georgia games, although
 Tech was defeated in neither of these
 battles Auburn, conqueror of Georgia
 by six touchdowns, lost to the Yellow
 Jackets by a single touchdown, while
 Georgia held the Tech to a seoreless
 tie. The result of this game alone would
 practically eliminate any claims that
 Tech might have. But still another game
 must be taken into consideration. Vandy
 defeated Auburn by two touchdowns and
 8 field goal while the Yellow Jackets crossed the Alabama teams goal line
 but once. Again the dope is against the Yellow Jackets and everything favors the Ccmmodores.
 If comparative scores can be used as a
 basis of observation, Vandy takes off the hcnors without much serious dispute Tech had her goal line crossed three feated teams, while the Commodores pro tected their goal perfectly. This also
 must be considered
 The relation of the situation this sea- son very much resembles that of last year when Auburn lost the championship to Tennessee by comparative scores. A tie figured prominently, in fact so prom ship. Auburn was held to a tie by Geor- gia wh had previously been defeated Thus it appears as a certainty that the

Birmingham Newspaper club trophy will again become the property of a Tennes- see team although not officially an- ncunced. Last year the University of Tennessee won the cup which gave them the first honors of the entire south. However the gain the permanent owner ship of the trophy, team must win the honors two years in succession. This means that if McGugin hopes to place the trophy in the state of Tennessee for good, he must produce team for next season that will again win the support of the deciding committee of the news paper club
 Probably the next greatest dispute will be over the ranking of the southern teams Auburn will not hold her high position of yore but wilk be succeeded by some other team. probably Tech. For the first time in several years Alabama will rank well. The Crimson eleven had a great season, and it is almost certain to be among the first 10 southern teams. Sewanee and Tennessee had miserable season. Another team that must be taken into consideration for a high ranking is Mississippi A. and NJ. Although the Aggies were defeated by Auburn, they have since defeated Tennessee and Texas A. and M the latter having defeated Texas, who in turn had conquered Ala bama.
 On whole the southern football sea son was great success. Teams were de- throned and teams. new teams, rose to high power. Tt was notable season for upsets and especially so in Alabama and Tennessee. Football will now pass into the darkness until 1916. when it will almost certainly again be known as the King of Sports"

BIG PONTOONS
TO RAISE "a
COMING SOON

Naval Constructor ]. A. Furer, who
went to the coast to supervise the
construction of steel pontoons to be
used in raising the sunken submarine
F-4, returned in the China last even
ing. He brings word that the pom
ICONS will be brought here by the
cruiser Maryland about August 10, and
that, dependent on the weather, sal
wage work viii be resumed at that
time.
The pontoons, six in number, are
each capable of lifting so tons when
pumped out. The plan is to sink them
by filing with sea water and attach
them to the submarine itself by means
of chains, a good part of the work
being performed by divers, who can
work with ease in the 48 feet of water
in which the F-4 now lies. The pom
ICONS will then be pumped out, and
their buoyancy will, it is figured, bring
the F-4 to the surface. Being directly
connected with the sunken boat. there
will be no danger of the action of the
waves chafing and cutting the connect
ing cables.
Mr.. Furer stayed long enough at
Mare Island to see one pontoon COM
pletely finished, and a successful test
made in the Mare Island drydock. He
left Fred Buss of the Pearl Harbor
naval station to supervise the rivet-
ing of the remaining pontoons, and
to check the loading of the pontoons
and gear on the Maryland.
