Navy and Army May Soon
Take Up Additional Sports
Field and Track and Tennis Already Added to Com
petitive List and Service Schools Are Consider
ing Several Other Branches

which the service schools Will meet,
neither the Army nor Navy has made
particularly good showing. However.
there is no doubt that the arrangement
will boom both sports at the institutions.
These contests will take place this year
ct West Point, probably on the same
day the baseball game is TO be played
between the service mines.
No matter what the sport may be, con-
tests between teams of the service
schools always excite general interest.
This is. of course, particularly true of
football and the game is not only a
great social event, but on many occa-
sions has been one of the best contests
of the wear as an exhibition of the
sport.
ghe service has blazed the way in
several sports, particularly in boxing.
and neither service team was defeated
last year. The greatest interest, second
only to that in the football game would
be taken in meeting between the rep
resentatives of the service schools IN
the ring. This is q. possibility for the
winter of 1923-1924. but the prospect
of such match for the coming winter
Is slight.
In talking over the matter representa-
tiyes of the Naval and Military acad-
emies have generally reached the con-
clusion that such matches, to close the
season in the different sports, are much
to be desired from several angles, but
there is some feeling that so many con-
tests between the rival schools might
tend to excite the students. Others take
the view that there would be less excite
ment If interest had to be extended over
whole list of sports.
The list of sports at both institutions
covers nearly all OF the usual branches.
At present however, there is no rowing
at West Point and no polo or hockey at
Annapolis It is agreed that rowing Is
naval sport and that polo pertains to the
military. while conditions are not suit
able at Annapolis for hockey
Of the sports in which the service
schools now engage, the next football
game will be played in Philadelphia, al
the next basketball game at Annapolis
Baseball and probably field and track
and tennis are to be played at West
! Point.

Special Dispatch 10 THE NEw YORK HERALD
YALE UNIVERSITY, NEW HAVEN, Conn.
Oct. Charlie O'Hearn's pulled ten
don is causing a lot OF worry at Yale.
II he is kept out OF the game with Iowa
next Saturday Yale's chances against
Howard Jones's team, looked upon as
none too bright at best will dwindle
considerably.
Tad Jones appreciates the situation
fully for he would like to beat Brother
Howard's outfit almost as much as he
would Princeton or Harvard. O'Hearn
is by far the best drop kicker and punter
on the squad, and saide from a mere
quarterback Jones viii have to develop
somebody who can kick. There Is no one
on the horizon at this writing who can
mix his drops and his punts like Charlie.
O'Hearn has played in hard luck at
Yale for two years. Last fall he was
kept cut of the game for five weeks be-
cause OF throat trouble and asthma, and
during the hockey season he was put out
of commission in one of the early games
and didn't play again. Luck followed
him in the baseball period. however. and
after once making the bag he played
first thereafter.
Ed Leader, who came out of the West
TO save Yale's aquatic reputation, has
made a big hit here and his business
ike methods and sound coaching sense
have made him host of warm friends
among the graduates and students of
the university. Disposing of Harvard
doesn't seem to be such big job for
Yale crew coaches. It's the early season
races Yale has been falling down on.
but Leader believes that the old jinx
! r-t,-. UAfz fN-
the shorter courses will be chased for
good next spring.
Leader has picked the following two
crews as the whites and blues, the
former being quite generally recognized
as the first varsity:

Providence girl and former New

ANNAPOLIS. Oct The ado ton
of two sports, field and track and
tennis, to the list of those in whish
the representatives of the Naval ac'd
Military academies will contest n
nually, increases the prospect that sttno
far off date the midshipmen and cadets
will have annual encounters In Ill the
usual branches. The present list also
includes football, baseball and basket
ball.
The addition of these two sports fol-
lows the direct negotiations of Superin-
tendents Wilson and Slayden, of the
Naval and Military academies. respect
lively. Rear Admiral Henry B. Wilson,
superintendent of the Naval Academy.
was willing that nearly every other
sport should be included in the agree
ment, but the Military academy was
not willing to increase the nuilber at
this time.
Boxing. wrestling. swimming, gym
nastics. fencing, soccer and lacrosse
were the particular sports whi,h were
also suggested. However. the Army Of
ficials believed that too many of these
contests would have the effect OF excit-
ing the cadets to such an extent as to
interfere with their regular work. A
number of naval officers share his view
as TO the midshipmen.
There is a large element If naval
officers. among them Admira Wilson,
who would be much pleased 10 see the
service schools compete in all branches.
While the contests, particularly those In
boxing and wrestling, would be con-
tested with the greatest earnestness,
they do not fear that they would go out
of bounds, the students being carefully
trained in the ethics of these sports and
sportsmanship being insisted upon.
1t is generally believed that the ar
rangement will be extended to most of
the sports mentioned, within couple
OF years at most. The Naval Academy
teams have been at the top in most OF
the winter sports. and also ia lacrosse
for several years The Military Acad-
eny has not engaged in them so long.
but made splendid showing last year.
1t is thought that the arrangement will
be made as soon as the Army feels equal
to competing with the Navy on equal
terms.

fewer members than last year, in spite
Of the more rigid entrance requirements
put into effect this fall. More than forty
of the new sons of Brunonia are football
candidates.
George Halsey Hint of New York is
among the thirteen juniors at Brown
who have been awarded preliminary
honors for high academic studying. To
date Hunt has had 65 per cent. of
his grades averaging A and the remain
der B. This means that he has not
fallen below a grade of 80 per cent. in
any subject. With Herbert Lamson of
Exeter, N. H., he leads the class.
Next to the interest in football on the
campus is fraternity rushing" which
started last Monday and which will con-
tinue until next Monday. Nineteen
Greek letter societies are in competition
for the more likely members of the
freshman class, which numbers 392.
Trainer Charlie Huggins of the foot
ball squad reports every one OF his
charges in excellent physical condition
for the battle next Saturday with Colby

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. Oct. Penn
state coaches are having their troubles
this fall. yet in spite OF enough mis-
fortunes to wreck any two ordinary col
lere teams they are making progress In
the DEVELOPMENT OF a new Nittany ma
chine 10 meet the approaching games
with Syracuse, Navy. Carnegie Tech
Pennsylvania and Pittsburgh.
The surprising thing Is that any prog
ress has been made at all. To start the
season. Coach Hugo Bezdek and his as
sistants faced the loss of ID members
of last years varsity squad, eleven OF
whom were letter winners. Just five
letter men from the 1921 squad were on
hand for practice, and only one oil
those--Harry Wilson--played In the
backfield.
As n that were not bad enough. the
formation Of the team was held up by
an injury to Mike Palm that kept him
out OF the lineup for two weeks He re-
turned In time for the opening game
played brilliant football and made the
backfield problem look more hopeful.
Steady development took place last
week until the William and Mary game
when Palm again went to the hospital
with a broken bone in his ankle. TO
add TO the cheerful situation. Ross HUFF
ford. veteran end, also received badly
sprained ankle in last weeks game ana
is out OF the lineup indefinitely.
Lebanon Valley comes here next sat-

enough opposition to put the Lions on
edge for the Alumni Homecoming Day
clnsh with Middlebury College on Octo-
ber q. Following these two games.
Penn state begins to travel. meeting
Syracuse at New York and Navy at
washington on successive weeks.
II Is hoped that both Palm and Huf-
ford will be able to return to the lineup
in time for the Syracuse game. The
quarterback hole was plugged UP a lit
tie this week when Johnnie Patton, last
years third-string quarterback returned
10 the squad after a months absence.
Patton's eyes went bad on him and he
had to give up football for while. but
the need Of quarterback to take

yourgster decided Il was up TO him
TO offer his services. Patton. Kerstetter
and Gregory have all had n chance at
