football game viii be held at the Polo
Grounds next season on Saturday, No
vember a, according to present plans.
Last year, when the game was the sub
ject of much controversy between Army
and Navy officials. II was suggested that
hereafter the service teams play in New
York and Philadelphia in alternate yesrA
According to this arrangement, the Navy
would next season choose Franklin Field.
1t is understood, however. that the
Navy now Is in favor OF playing here
next year on account Of the increased
seating capacity and excellent arrange
ments at the Polo Grounds. 1t is likely
that the two service elevens will decide
to play here every year.
Next years game will again confiict
with the Harvard-Yale game at Boston,
hut in the following year, in 1918, the
game will be played on November 30 the
Saturday following Thanksgiving Day.

GOLF AND TENNIS NOTES
BY +. III. YOUNG.

Applying the custom followed in foot

selecting all-star and sectional teams. the
following ten players are submitted as an
"An-Washington" tennis team for 1916
In picking team of this kind it Is
Will no doubt be any number who do not
agree with the writer. The more one
looks into the dope" the deeper he gets
in the mire. For instance. Gore has
npeen beaten by both Morgan and Lewis,
but has a victory over Breck. who has
beaten both of the other two. Graves
was runner-up in the District tourney.
In which all OF those named above were
entered but Breck, and yet he has beeL
, beaten by practically all Of them since.
In picking this team, tournament play

Columbia, is of course rated as No. 1.

for third, with ZAP Gore, of Dunbar
ton, fourth. John T. Graves. jr., and
George L. Lewis. both of Dumbarton,
figure fifth and sixth. with J. Upshur
Moorhead and Arthur HELEN, both Of
rChevy Chase, in seventh and eighth.
Douglass Hillyer, of Dumbarton, has
shown enough to be ranked as No. g.
with Edward o. Leech, Of Columbia, as
the last man on the team. "Rol'' Doyle.

golf practically all the season and has
not shown up well on the courts. r. c.
VanVliedt only took part in one tourna-
ment and although he won this he Is
not named because he was only here
temporarily. Ballard Moore, Charles T.
Chapman, Gould Lincoln, Lou Doyle,

a9e all good men but 1t Is not belived
that they figure ahead Of those named.
Ballard Moore started of the season
weH but has attempted several new
strokes with the result that his showing
during the last part of the season has
been rather mediocre. All things being
considered, 1t is believed that the ten
named above would form the strongest
local combination that could be gotten
together.
Edward 3. synon. jr., OF Columbia. will

be the next golfer to have his name on
the plaque kept by his home club on
which Is recorded the name, club and
score of the player making the best round
over the course each year in a regular
ly authorized event. 1916 Is the fifth
year the PLAGUE has been in existence.
John c. DavidsOns II was best in 1872
Incidentally, this has never been equalled
by an amateur and is the recognized rec
ord. Jerome Travers, with Is, took
honors in 1913. while in 1914 Walter r.
Tuckerman. Walter ]. Travis and Daniel
X. Jackson tied with 73's. Sam Dalzell
counted another 70 last year and II was
easily best, while Eynon registered the
same figures this year in the qualifying
round of the June monthly tournament of
the club.
The Kirkside Golf Club is hard at work
on the handicaps of its various members.
1t expects to hold a number of closed
events in the near future and to penalize
members who enter events but fail to
turn in their cards. In this way It hopes
to get a good line OF its players so that
when the season opens In the spring It
will not have to do any experimenting but
can start its players OF with fair handi-
caps. This handicap question IL one of
the hardest propositions a club is up
against, anu ulllcSS IHOS0 III power are on
the job all the time a player with a big
handicap may win a number of events be-
fore his rating is cut down to what it
should have been in the first place This
is due largely to the fact that he hasn't
turned in any cards and the Handicap q
Committee has not been able to get 4
true line on his game. The Kirkside Of
icials believe that If a player not turn
ing in his card Is penalized. he will not
forget" a second time, and their ex-
pertinent will no doubt be watched with
interest by the other clubs.
There will not be any Departmental
Tennis League dinner this year, as last
nights affair at the New Ebbitt took the
place Of the one generally held by the
clerks. The Departmental League Is a
member of the Washington Tennis Asso-
citation, so that last nights affair was In
reality a joint one between the Depart
mental League and the Dumbarton, Chevy
