New York Sept. 10.-Already in
service circles they are beginning TO
talk about the Army-Navy football
game. and there are many who believe
the Navy again this year is in for a
continuation of the successes started
by Dobie and carried on by Bob Fol-
well. These who think this way-and
all are not strict Navy partisans-do
not see how Major Charles Daily. the
army coach, can overcome the prestige
and quality that is expected to be dis
played by the Navy this year.
Navy confidence is especially high
for several reasons. During the sum
mer cruises, the Navy football squad
was kept together. The squad, already
starting work for other men belonging
to it, has returned to Annapolis a week
before their brother middies. Where
there are wide gaps not yet satisfac-
torily blocked UP. the ends and back
field men are reported to be the best
Annapolis has seen for some time.
The Army dopesters, on the other
hand, are saying that the Navy is
likely to go stale and nobody can keep
men on edge from August to the latter
part of November. II should be noted

Navy game is a week earlier than
usual.
Meanwhile, the Army goes into ac-
ton with a double-header on Septem-
Der SO. The Navy does not begin real
games until a week later. Both have
some good, stiff games on their sched-
ule, the Army tackling Alabama Poly
on October IA, when the Navy plays
Rucknell. On the twenty-first. while
the Army has an easy game against
New Hampshire State, the Navy takes

which will give the cadets all they want
to do and will be excellent experience.
The navy had a terrible fright last
year in the last few minute of the
Army game. when they were unable to
kick themselves out of difficulties. and
it is safe to say that Folwell is bear
ing this in mind this year.
Notre Dame a Lesson
West Point learned a lot from the
Notre Dame game of 1921 and made
good use of it in the Navy contest. II

had some deception and some real
team drive. Folwell knows that DAILY
will continue along these lines.
Folwell is also determined that he
will not this year suffer the agony he
went through at the close of the Army
last year, when, because of lack
a substitute center and sub kicker

earned victory snatcbed from his

But he has a number of heavyweights,
who, if they can be ~quickened up,
should make good timber to build with.
But Folwell realizes also that it is
yoing to take good end play to stop
he Army attack, and he would like
have a few men like Kiley or An
of Notre Dame on his squad.
