 The contest will mark the twenty third meeting between the service teams, and while it may not develop the most spectacular football of a season that has been filed with mea- lures and thrills, it will be witnessed by one of the largest crowds that has ever storned the Brush Stadium to witness a like struggle. Upward of 37,0O0 spectators will be on hand when the Cadets and MiddieS line up for action.
 All of the time-honored ceremonies that have featured Army-Navy games of past years will be re-enacted to- day.

The professi ona1 football cham pionsh.p of Bridgeport will be decid- ed at Newfield park tomorrow after noon when the Lakes and Chains meet for decision, There will be only one game and that will be to- morrow afternoon The postponemert on Thanksgiving Day has dulied the interest in the game somewhat, but it IS expected there WIl be a large num- Der of people on hand when the two lineup against each other tomorrow. On Thanksgiving Day the Lakes were looked upon as favorites, but today the sentiment has shifted entirely and the Chains arel ooked upon as thev ictors.
 Coach Hunts Acco warriors, made favorites in the betting two days ago, are today picked to win conclusively. As the time for this historic clash approaches, close followers of the gridiron sport are beginning to doub: more and more the ability of the Lakes to cope with the brilliant and slnshing offensive of the Chain back feld-a backfield which is second to none in the state.
 Even in the line where the Sub marine makers are strongest, they do not figure, on paper, above the Chains. Two or three weeks ago tha latter team appeared "shot." The Williams of New Haven tore gaping holes in the line and advanced almost breakdown the Chains have gradual 1y gathered themselves together, showing greater strength each suc- ceeding game, until now, on the eve of the struggle for the title the Lakes are hardly conceded an outside chance to score d touchdown.

ARMY'S GRIDIRON WARRIORS
 MEET NAVY'S ELEVEN TO-DAY
Contest Is Staged at Polo Grounds In New York; With All of the Usual Spectacular Ceremonies
 Before Crowd of Nearly 37 OOO

on football games figured that Army's record in previous games this season has been far more impressive than that of the Middies.
 Last fall the Middies managed to break a string of four straight Army victories, thanks to the educated to- of Clyde King, sturdy tackle, who booted two field goals and enabled Navy to triumph over the West Point CTS to This same King is playing with the Navy at his old position, but in previous games he has not shown the form he displayed last fall and hasn't strong team around him.
 Army, on the other hand, has what is considered a very powerful SCOT ing machine. Coach Da1y has a, Strin g of forwards who look much stronge: that the Middies, and in French, her fullbaclS, Army has star whose line plunging and open field running are expected to pave the way to a vic tory.
 ing football games since 1900. In all they have played twenty-two times. and out of this total Army has won eleven games to ten for the Navy. The 1905 contest resulted in a tic. 6 to 6. In past years Army has shown a tendency to turn out the most pow erful teams Army's total points against the Navy in twenty,tw" gam es-25 lis proof of this. Navy has scored 99 points less than the Army having rolled up a total of 152.
 Perhaps the chief reason for tt'- fact that a majority of the critics be tra ced to Armys struggle with Notre Dame. The Cadets were beaten in their annual battle with the ''Figh in Irish' from Hoosierland,
 fights imaginable and succeeded in scoring two touchdowns and a fiea goal against the strong westerners for a total of 1T points. This, in itself, was proof enough to majority of those who follow the fortunes of foot ball teams that Army has, or had, a heavy punch. The Armys big punch E in her backfield, where French stars, but Coach Daily also has hefty line and two of her Hnesmen, Clark guard, and Doyle, end, are real stars
 Breidster, the Army linesman w.io fought so gamely in the Notre i'a1ne and was forced out with injuries, 1s another great linesman, but it is donbtful whether or not he will be able to last long in today's game Il he starts at all.
 Coach FolwelTs mainstays, amons whom are King, tackle; Captain Ed die Ewcn. end. and Walters ha ok fielder have been showing oettel form in each succeeding game. The | whole Navy team, in fact has peer
 playing much snappier football slnee the Princeton game, in wh1cn tn' i Middies met defeat, IA to U. Navy I scores of 47 to 0 against WesterI 1 Reserve and 6S to 0 against Soutf i Carolina prove that the Annapohtan | have smoother out the rough spot | that characterized their play as l team in earlier games and can nov nov go the pace with machine-nk l srnoothness. It is a foregone conciu sion. too that Navy will exhibit tn
