mn AND NAVY TOMORROW
Seldom If ever has football en-
thusiasm III local realms been at
higher pitch than il IS today. On
the eve OF the service clash be-
tween the Navy and Army
teams, in Philadelphia, and the
81. John's-Hopkins fray. in Bal
timore, local supporters OF the
two Annapolis elevens are verit-
ably thinking. living. breathing.
talking and dreaming football, and
for them tonight indeed will be a
long. long night On the morrow,
however. this pent-up enthusiasm
will he let loose in lively fashion
both in the Quaker City and At
Homewood Field.
While it has been tho custom
in former years for the greater
part of the local roofing contin-
gent to attend both games. this
year, OF course, such action is inn
;possible because they are being
/ staged the same day. But whether
the local fan elects to jour
ney to franklin Field or to
lIomcwood it is certain that his
interest and allegiance viii be. so
far as possible. in both places at
the same time. A victory for
both the Navy and St. Johns is
the contamination devoutly
wished, and such a happy ends

Ancient City by the Severn.
Navy will face West Point
with 4 team that has met with
but one reverse throughout the
whole season. Such excellent
elevens as BuckneH, Georgia
Tech and Penn State have been
laid low by the Middies. and the
only blot on the cscutcheon is
that administered by University
OF Pennsylvania. However, de-
feat of the Army tomorrow will
wipe out all menories OF the
Pennsylvania encounter. West
Point undeniably has a top
notch teams this wear. as evidenc-
cd by the tied games with Yale
and Notre Dame. but despite the
imposing showing OF the eArmv
lads. the feeling is strong in this
section that the Navy will rise to
the emergency and again lower
the colors OF the cadets from up
