FIRST GAME OF THE SEASON

Inc I0OtDalI season at the NaNaI
| Academy will get under way tomor-
row after ALL
In spite of the fact that Eastern
College, of Manassas, Va, originally
booked TO meet the Middies in the sea-
son-opener, cancelled almost at the
eleventh hour, owing to inability to
get a representative team together in
time. the management of athletics at
the Academy succeeded in arranging
contest with the eleven of David
son College, of North Carolina
The game will start at 2.30 o'clock
in the afternoon. This will be Da-
Wilson's first appearance at Annapo-
lis Little is known here as TO the
strength of the lads from the Tar
Heel State this season. And as far
as the Middies are concerned, they,
too, are not in very good shape, as
head coach Gilmour Dobie, the new
mentor from out of the West, has
only been at work with his charges
for the last week, and the-additional
fact that he is confronted with the
proposition OF building team large
ly of new material. Two classes of
Midshipmen have been graduated
since the close of last season, and
many of the more seasoned players
were lost as a result.
With the arrangement for game
with Davidson for tomorrow, and
negotiations having been closed with
the Carlisle Indians and Haverford
College, the Navy schedule now APP
pears as follows:
October 6--West Virginia Univers-
ity.
October Maryland State Col
lege
October 20-Carlisle Indians
October 27-Haverford
November 3---Western Reserve.
November 10-Georgetown.
November 17--Villa Nova.
There is still good bit of agita-
tion looking to the arrangement. of
the annual Army-Navy contest, but
from present indications it is re-
garded as unlikely that the big serv-
ice struggle will be played. in spite
of the suggestion of devoting the pro-
ceeds derived therefrom to the Red
Cross Society," There is decided OPP
position in Official quarters to play
ing this game, owing to the intensive
system of training in force at both
the Naval and Military Academies
brought about by the war situation.
H.. xx,ffh hA ~
the season. announcement is made
that arrangements have practically
been consummated by which the gen.
eral public, as far as practicable, will
be permitted to witness the games at
the Academy this season. This is not
conclusive, but tentative plans have
been laid down by which the string
ent conditions bearing upon admis-
sion to the government reservation in
cident to the war situation, will be
lifted to the extent that those desir-
ing to witness the games may do so
by occupying certain seats set apart
in the graEdstand, but they will be
expected to leave the grounds imme-
diately upon the conclusion of play.
II also has become known that
negotiations have practically been
closed for games with the Carlisle
Indians and Haverford College on
October 20 and 27, respectively. These
two gmaes will complete the Middies
schedule.
The game which is scheduled with
Carlisle is of more than passing in
terest, owing to the fact that the Red
skins have not visited Annapolis for
a number of years, not since the days
when the veteran coach, Glenn War
ner. was their mentor, and who de-
veloped them TO a pinnacle of football
prowess. In late years the Carlisle
lads have not shown much
