Public Will Have to Procure
Pasteboards Through Officers
of Either School
EXPECT $4,000 TO ATTEND

ANNAPOLIS, Md. Oct. 2.-Undcr the
plan which has been adopted for the
distribution of tickets to the football
game between the clevcnS of the Naval
and Military Academies, to be played at
the New York Poio Grounds on Novem-
bcr 20, members of the general public
will have little opportunity of getting
them except by arranging for their prE-
chase by officers of the army and navy.
There will be none for free distribu-
tion to civilians.
| Extra stands will be erected at the
Polo Grounds. and the seating capacity
will be $4,000. Each academy will
receive 13 ,Sj4 tickets for free distri-
button, and in the case of the Navy
! this will be sufficient for only two to
each member of the Navy Athletic AS
sociation, the organization which sup
ports all athletics at the Naval Acad
cmy. The situation is understood to be
about the same with the Army people.
However. members of these aSsoca :
! tiouS will have the opportunity Of buy
ing all other tickets, half being allotted
to each service. The price of the tick
cts will be So and $3.50.
The National Exhibition Company,
owners of the New York National
League baseball nine. has been ap-
pointed the agent of the two associa :
tions to handle the game. They will
hold the tickets not forwarded for free
distribution, but will sell them on The
order of the service bodies. If any re.
main unsold after November II the!
will be sold directly TO the public bu
it is extremely unlikely that there viii
be any.
No effort will be made to sccur,
money for any purpose from the game
the scale of. prices having been ar.
ranged so that the cost of the cxtri
seats and other necessary expenses will
just be met.
The football squad will leave An,
napolis on the morning of the day be
fore the game. The regiment of mid
shipmen, as in the past, will leave tn
morning of the game in several specia
trains, and no difficulty is anticipatcd i,
getting them back to Annapolis the eve
p ming of the same day. The regiment o
midshipmen is larger than over before
numbering nearly POO.
The game will be played under a,
. agreement made some months ago whic
covers the contest this year and fo
t four more years. The date set was tn
Saturday nearest November -, cithe
before or after as it fell. This woul
have fixed the date this year as No
