ANNAPOLIS, Md, Nov. 2s.-Antici-
patton of the big football game in
New York tomorrow has taken the
place of every other thought at the
Naval Academy and in Annapolis. The
notes of the reveille will sound at
1890 o'clock tomorrow morning, and
the first train will be on its way to
New York at 5 o'clock, the other three
following at 10-minute intervals.
Commander G. II. Bowdey will have
command of the regiments, and the
hattalions will be under the commands
of Lieutenant Commander Joe r. Nor
rison, Rufus King, w. S. Davidson and
w. D. NllduF
The midshipmen will go from Jersey
City to 15Sth Street by ferry, lunch
con being served on board From the
pier they will march to the Polo
Grounds, where Midshipman Paul E.
Phil, midshipman commander, will take
charge. After the game the men will
be at liberty until 9:3O Sunday morn
ing, when the regiment will assemble
in front of the Pennsylvania Station.
The first train will pull out at 10,
the special carrying the football party
being the last, and the midshipmen
will be at the King George Street gate
of the academy to receive them when
they arrive.
The midshipmen who have no spe-
cial permission to spend the night
elsewhere will stop at the Hotel Com
modore and the Hotel McAlpn, the
latter entertaining only those belong
ing to the 14th, 18th and 10th com
panies. The Academy band will stop
at the Hotel Martinique. The regu-
lations of the Academy will govern
the midshipmen during the trip.
The facts refute the statement that
the Navy team is young and green
Woodruff and Clark are the youngest,
their age being nineteen each Muir
ray Cruise and Waters are each
twenty; Denfeld, Larson, King and
Clark, twenty-one, and Captain Even
and Willkie, twenty-five. 1t is the
second or third year on the squad
for every regular member of the team.

Rodgers Efforts Outdo
Entire w. and !. Team

MORGANTOWN, w. Va, Nov. 2e.-
West Virgina's clcan-cut victory over
Washington and jefferson here vestcr-
day stamped the Mountaineers as one
of the leading teams of the year. Cap
tain Rodgerss goal from touchdown
brought his total points up to l47. far
in the lead of his nearest competitor.
In Yesterdays game Rodgers gained
as much ground by his individual ef
forts as the whole opposing team
gained. He rushed the ball SO yards.
returned punts 64 yards and threw
passes for l16 yards. while the whole
w. and }. team gained 1875 yards by
rushing, passing and returning kicks

~ Inere Is no basis for exporting the
game which is to take place this after
= noon, for the teams have not met a
common enemy all season. The Army
= team had the rougher schedule, while
the Navy piled up heavy scores against
minor opponents. The Navy team is by
far the lighter of the two. The Army
1s made up OF some of the huskiest can
didates for the cavalry and artillery
that ever trained at the Point.
The guessing is that the Army. be-
cause of its weight, ought to win by a
sbig score but the middes, who are
backing their team most enthusiastic
scally, are banking on the speed of the
Navy and its uncanny accuracy in the
'iiratter-of forward passes. If the Navy
line can hold and if the nautical team
can get the ball often enough they
might make few long cruises down
the field at the Polo Grounds.
s.ss Coaches Are Pessimistic
Colonel DAILY, coach of the Army
team for, 10! these many years, is reti-
cent about the chances of the Black
and Gold and Gray team, which is the
Army. Coach Dobie of the Navy is
quite as lugubrious as the civilian
!. sscoaches as to the chances of the
nephews of Uncle Josephus When a
coach is particularly luGubrious it is
sign that he has an ace or two I'D his
sleeve, or that at least he thinks he has

Daniels Of the Navy will muster his
staff on the nautical side, and there
will be many members of the diplo-
matte corps at Washington in the
stands. Between the halves the not
ables will parade across the field and
exchange greetings. Generals Pershing
and March are expected to be present
at the game.
- The restoration of this colorful
9c'assic of the gridiron brought an un-
orecedented demand for tickets In re-
modelling the Polo Grounds plans were
made to seat something like $4,000
versions That many tickets were dis
nosed Of by advance orders more than
month ago, and there will be thou

tickets somehow have been able to dis

Gates to Open at II A. NJ.
THE gates to the Polo Grounds will
be thrown open at II to-day. The
cadets will sweep across the field with
the West Point swing at precisely
--2:45 and march to their section. The
middies will sail up the Hudson on
como gallant craft of the Baltimore

at 1 o'clock. From there they will

goat, was domicilcd at the Commodore
Hotel last night and is all warmed up
for the fray. The Army will produce
a mule, which animal has always rep
resented West Point on the grdiron.
These animals will be paraded before
the fray begins.
John B. Foster. secretary of the New
York Baseball Club, which is staging
the game, earnestly requests that mere
civilians get ito the grounds early iu
order that the army and navy pageants
may not be interrupted. This also
would help check confusion and con-
gestion at the gates.
The last few Army and Navy games
have consisted largely of accounts of
the ground gaining Of one Elmer Oil
phant, who was known as "The Ele-
phant." Captain Oliphant is now a
member of the Army coaching staff
and will watch to-day's game from the
sidelnes-and the Navy is convinced
that the side lines will make fairly
safe parking place for "The Elephant"
1T that.
The earnest partisans of both teams
have been greatly increased this year
because of the fact that many ex-
soldiers and sailors who served in the
war still maintain their interest in
the branches of the service in which
they were enrolled. Formerly the civil
ian onlookers were more or less neu-
tral.
There is not great deal of betting
on the game, and what there is is of
a freaky nature, decidedly favoring
the husky Army team. From the dope

Cutting the Nations Tire Bill.

Forty makes OF motor tires were

erybOdy's. They were given labOra-
tory durability runs. after which theS
were autOpIed by The rubber special
lists. Their carcasseS' were cut up and
the pieces boiled. roasted. stretched.
The results were iiScOuraging. Even
the best Of them seemed to suffer
from improper 'toughening.'
$50 into their little rubber-mill went
the experts. with notes furnished them
by the tire manufacturers, and pro-
ceeded 10 make up some tire rubber
which had the proper degree Of tough
ness. They succeeded. They passed
out the word The trouble is that you

War On Yellow Fever.

The International health board
(KoekefelIer Foundation) continues
to wage relentless war against yellow
fever in the parts Of the world that
are regarded as the seedbeds OF this
disease. II 10 hoped that by this radi-
cal plan yellow fever may eventually
be altogether eliminated from the
world. Ap epidemic was reported in
Guatemala in June, 1918. The board
dispatched DR.. Joseph b. White to the
scene. and an energetic campaign was
organized, resulting in freeing Guate-
nala from the disease in few
months. Late in the year corps Of
l25 men was put 10 work destroying
stsgomyia mosquitoes in the city Of
Guayaquil, Ecuador. for the purpose
of ridding that city Of yellow fever.
Since last November the yellow fever
work Of the International health board
has been directed by General Gorgas,
late surgeon general of the army.
