Wiedorn, tackle on. the football team
and a wrestler of considerable exper-
fence, Is expected to make up his lack
OF weight, in a large measure, by Ms
strength and knowledge OF the game.
He only weighs $50 pounds, however

Much interest was taken during
the week In the announcement that
next years football game between sei
tary Academies would be played at
Philadelphia. Two reasons con-
troIled the local officials in making
the selection, Il being their turn. to
choose the battle-ground. u
In the first place, Franklin Field
will have a larger seating capacity
than any place procurable in New
York, and will be specially arranged
for a great college football game.
FOR years the demands upon the Of
ficials Of the two institutions has been
overwhelming, and only the largest
and best appointed grounds can be
considered for! the big service game.
The second consideration was one

that this leave will probably be given
whether the regiment goes to Phila-
delphia or New York. -
In order to get the record straight,
the facts connected with the playing
Of former service games might be
stated. A number Of erroneous state
ments were made, one Of them being
to the effect that all games prior
to 1915 were played on Franklin
Field:
Twenty.four games have been
played, OF which thirteen were play
ed on Franklin Field and six on the
Polo Grounds. The games Of 1890
and 1892 were played at West Point.

There wore no games In the yesrs

Richard Glerdon, for twenty years
