WEST POINT. Oct. Army was

temperature hampered the develop
ment OF the cadets, the weather for
fortnight having been too hot for
hard work. The double-header en-
gagement which the Army fought last
Saturday with Springfield and Leban-
non Valley used up nearly the en-
tire squad of Coach Daly's charges.
II was a gruelling and exhaustive af-
fair and the men did not get back
TO real scrimmaging until Tuesday.
Army expected hard battle with
Kansas. The cadets were without the
use OF several OF their best men.
French. their backfeld star of two
seasons, has left the academy. Rich
ards, another first class ball-carrying
back of last season, also is no longer
here. Greene. captain and center last
season, and Davidson and Wilhide,
veterans of three seasons, graduated
last June. These places are causing
the coaches much worry. Mulligan,
