However. Daily goes further. What is

by DAILY last night. Lieut.. Charley de-

Has a Great Record.

With a record OF nine victories and
nothing even resembling a setback the
Army is entitled to ranking among the
really great teams OF this eason and
West Point football history. II scored
235 points m yielded IS. The number
OF points tailed II exceeded in Army
annals only by the record OF the 1918
team. which gathered 253 points in nine
games.
The defensive record y not so good.
for many Army teams have zone
through the season with far smaller
totals for the opposition. The team OF
1911 holds the record at the Point. for
1t gave the other fellows a total of
only II points, to Buckne'l. s to
Colgate and 3 to the Navy. That year
the Cadets whipped Yale by 6 to 0. but
lost to the Midshipmen, 3 to 0.
With all due respect to the prowess
OF the Army eleven OF 1916. we cannot
see where II deserves to be rated with
Brown. Yale. Colgate and Pittsburg.
There are not enough first class teams
among the Army list OF victims. This
is not entirely the fault OF the Army.

Handicapped Financially.

Unable to charge any admission fee

mass OF football followers. the Cadets
have no financial resources. The big
teamr-Yale. Harvard and the rest.
which once played the Army every yea
found that they could do far better in
n financial way at their own fields, Foot
ball Is not being played entirely for
sports SAX the guarantees the thing,
Thus handicapped the Army must fall
back on smaller colleges, which deem 1t
an honor to he given a place on the
West Poin; schedule. We understand
that Notre Dame is able to come Fast
every autumn only through the financial
help OF alumni.
Some day the Government will build
a stadium at the Point and special
trains and boats will bring IN army OF
football followers TO see the Cadets
battle with grajor elevens. Until then
the Army's claims to supremacy will
probably have to remain in allegiance.
