Thirteen Hundred Navy

Annapolis, Nov. 24.-Nothing but the
trip to New York tomorrow and the
big service contest are in the thoughts
of thirteen hundred midshipmen to-
night.

over the Pennsylvania and Baltimore

scheduled for about 1890, and luncheon
will be served en- route.

the third and fourth. Academy rules
will be in force during the trip, except
that midshipmen officers and petty OIL
GERS may smoke, except on the street
and at the Polo Grounds.
After the game all midshipmen Will
be given leave until just before the re-
turn train starts on Sunday morning.
Special hotels have been designated as
stopping places.
The Navy people express confidence
in a triumph for their team. Local ex-
perts believe that the Army has the
better chance. The outcome will be a
great test Of Lieutenant Migrants

In particular his judgment in start
ing the game with backfeld composed
entirely of first year men will be put to

Looking down from the circular
roost, no fewer than $4,000 eyes will
soon be focused-frst upon Harry LIE
Gore and Eddie Casey, the two rival
back field stars, who are expected TO
carry on the main burdens of assault;
then upon the massive form OF Cap
tain Cupid Black, who in addition 10
his aggressive line play has proved TO
be one of the best field leaders that
ever carried an eleven to the charge.
lie Gore, Casey and Black will occupy
the bulk Of the spotlight. But no less
a feature will be the work expected
from the two sets of ends, Moseley
and Comerford in Blue harness dis
playing their wares against Harte and
Coolidge from the Crimson camp.
No game this year has brought four
such fine ends to one afternoons meet
ing, and as spectacular end play Is
always one OF the most thrilling sights
for the non-combatants these four ear
nest young athletes should attract an
undue share of attention from first TO
last.
Another section of the contest that
will maintain attention will be the
punting duel between Horween and lie
Gore, plus the drop-kicking rivalry OF
Robinson and Braden.
In view of the fact that touchdown
may be beyond the attack Of either
team it is not at all unlikely that the
final score may depend upon the COM
peting drop-kickers. IL was HorweSfs
drop-kick that beat Princeton. II was
Braden's drop-kick that first started
Princeton on her second downhill jour
rey. Neither Braden nor Robinson,
nor vet Horween. is another Brickley.
But Braden and Horween have shown
enough TO start their elevens along
the winning way, so the evidence here
forecasts no great choice.
The comparative values of lie Gore
and Casey will get the final test to-
day. Harvard believes that Mahan's
successor will show enough TO PUT rim
on beyond the ranking of Yale's star
back. For Harvard believes that Yale
will find Casey harder to stop than
Harvard will find lie Gore.
Casey, however, will have 70 carry
big advantage N the running game,
for lie Gore so far has shown much
better all around ability. lie Cores
kick power means much in his favor
and lie Gore should be a much more
useful factor upon defence.
As for any final summing, it is much
pleasanter or at least much more ef-
fective to come out and pick one team
70 win. But where no one can tell Just
how Yale has been able 20 maintain
her keenness and her best form after
meeting Colgate, Brown, Princeton and
row Harvard in row with no respite
at all. the folly Of any prediction Is
all too apparent
All that one can tell is this: Har-
ward isn't quite the oyerpowering
process Of the last few years, and Tad
Jones has lifted Yale to a far higher
plane than Yale has known since the
dav Of Ted Coy.
Jones has at least proved that Yale
picked the right man when she brought
her old star back TO head her troop.
Jones has more than made good on the
Job. And even if Yale is beaten to-
day the closeness of the contest is
likely to be such that no doubt will

hand for that game.
This year, even with the Army and
Navy fighting their battle on the grid
iron in New York, the demand for tick
cts WAS so grea that almost ten thou
sand additional extra seats had TO be
built. Failing to supply the demand in
this way, the allowance of tickets 70
applicants was restricted. Even now
there are many disappointed graduates
looking for tickets and willing TO pay
almost any price for them.
Unusual care has been exercised in
the sale OF tickets, and the specula-
tors. who planned 10 reap a golden
harvest have been sadly disappointed.
They did get hold OF few. 10 be sure,
and sen: the prices k;ting. The high
cost Of living and loving is a mere cir

At an early hour tonight the flag

cogs with blue ribbons, or footballs

Touring cars are pouring into the

Under the sound coaching OF Tad
Jones and the magnetic field leadership
of Cupid Black Yale figures to-day that
she has at least an even chance TO clean
out the above deficit by pounding
Haughton's eleven back into defeat
through the ferocity Of her attack and
the all around ability of Harry lie Gore.
Two weeks ago this hope looked TO
be futile. But to-day every shred OF
the advance dope indicates one Of the
most even battles these two ancient
rivals have ever known. Yale stock has
doomed nightly in the last week, until
to-day the contest hangs upon the
Bulldogs ability to stand up under an
other hard game without q rest since
the Colgate charge, three weeks ago.
If Yale, despite her rugged schedule
Of four hard games in a row, can come
to battle physically and mentally
ready, the meeting should be classic,
the hardest and the closest Yale-Har-
ward jubilee since 1911, where the game
ended in a scoreless draw.
But It is here that Haryard's chief
advantage lies. While Yale last week
was exchanging smashes with Prince
ton, Haughton was resting his main
eleven for to-day's contest, and this
feature alone gives him decided edge:
But in no other way does Harvard
look to have the better OF the vital
statistics, for man against man and
team against team there is too little
choice to call for anything but guess.

began yesterday, and early to-day the
march will be resumed by the greatest
crowd that ever witnessed a football
contest in American football history,

big event is coming off, the peoples
treasury chest of traction funds is
about to be opened and $18,000,0OO
expended, not for the best interests
of the people, but for the best inter
ests of big loop business.
A subway is coming in so that the
people can more readily answer the
call of the big daily advertisements.
The big stores can then do more bus
mess and the big daily papers (adver-
Using bulletins) can come in for
more advertising and, incidentally,
the loop congestion will increase in
proportion.
The relief Of traffic congestion can
be secured by diVerting and not con-
centrating the streams of people into
the already Overcrowded loop. A sub
way also being the means of throw
ing more people into the loop would
cause the building of more floor
space therein and likely more sub
Easements for the big stores, hence
more congestion.
The most reasonable way of di-
Verting and distributing traffic can be
secured by building electric elevated
roads alongside of every steam road

same might not be feasibIe) or else
arranging for tracks with said roads.

THE PUBLIC FORUM
THE CALL TO HUMANITY
Edward A. Carver
In this life of laughter and sorrow
and tears,
When so much is crowded into days,
months and years,
We wish and we long for the time
that will come,
And bring peace and contentment
to all, not to some.
When discord and strife and much
that is wrong
viii not rob the world of its sun
shine and song.
If all men are born equal, in the
image of God,
Why should some live in splendor,
some carry the bod?
Has humanity failed in its duty of
kindness and love?
For whose example and pattern
Christ came from above?
Have we helped and encouraged the
man at our side,
And cast off the old shackIes, self
importance and pride?
Be ready and doing, my brother, my
sister and all,
And do your whole duty whenever
the call.
