Navy win Play Grid
Champs OF Pacific
On Coast

ANNAPOLIS, Nd, Sept. 27.
Admiral Wilson, con1nandant Of
the United States Naval Acad-
envy, today gave his approval Of
q football game to be played in
Pasadena, CAL, during the tour
nament Of roses, between the
midshipmen and the collegiate
champions of the Pacific coast,
which will have been established
by January /, the date Of the
game.
The apparent precedent In al
lowing the navy eleven to play
an additional game away from
the academy gridiron is ex-
planned through the fact that the
Middies will, at that time, be
officially on their Christmas va
cations, and the trip will in M
way interfere with their regular
course of studies. An additional
impetus for arranging the game
at the particular time and place
is found in the fact that there il
at the present time greater
naval force on the Pacific than
on the Atlantic, lending a pre-.
ponderance of interest to such
a game.

JACK SIMMONS INJURED

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 81
Jack Simmons, the doughty little
halfback. who only weighs 127
pounds, but with all the fight and
punch in the world, is the first
victim of a real serious accident
that has occurred since the Penn
team returned to Franklin Field.
Injured in scrimmage on Tues
day, an examination revealed that
the wounded warrior, who halls
from Charleston, S. c., had frac-
tured his shoulder and would be
out of the game for several weeks.
To add a meaner note to the
affair, the injury was received in
the last scrimmage that the Red
and Blue team had against the
cadets OF the Pennsylvania Mill
tary College, impressed into service
for scrimmage purposes on Tues
day.

LEXINGTON, Va, Sept. 27.---
With the Marine Corps game out
OF the way, all efforts at ". M. I.
are being bent towards the game
with Georgia Tech at Atlanta on
October 6. This does not mean
that coaches are underestimating
the strength Of the fast Lynchburg

punch to cross the cadets goal
line. The game with the Hornets
is calculated to put the finishing

nado.
The thirteen cadets who upset the
dope against the Marines Saturday
came out of that mud fight with
only a few minor injuries. 1t
speaks well for the condition OF
the v. M. I. first string, that, with
only two substitutions, they were
able to keep the powerful Marine
machine on the defensive through
out the game.
AS far as the game was con-
cerned, the coaches learned little or
nothing. The wretched condition of
the field made it impossible for
them to determine anything Of the
strength Of the team beyond the
fact that the line charged hard
and opened holes for the backs.
This meant little, however, as the
backs were sloshing through mud
ankle deep and frequently fell be-

MULLIGAN WILL SEEK
INFORMATION FROM A. A. U.

James v. Mulligan, chairman of
the movement to give Washington
and nearby territory a separate
branch OF the. Amateur Athletic
Union, set about today to gain from
officials of the national organization
the information necessary to accom-
plish the desired end. -....
Delegates of fifteen clubs In
structed Chairman Mulligan to pro-
coed. They expressed determination
to have a Piedmont branch Of the
A. A. u, extending it's scope to Vir.
gtnia and Carolina.
The attitude Is taken here that
athletic organizations south OF BATH
more have no interest In the South
Atlantic A. "A. u. division and that
the division cares nothing fer their
interests. Hence the demand for q
new division.

The rule Of the State athletic
commission on this point reads as
follows:
"If a contestant who has been
knocked or has fallen out Of the
ring during a contest. fails to re.
turn Immediately, the referee may
count him out as II he were down. ="
It would appear that no provision
has been made as to the method q
boxer shall follow in getting back
into the ring. 1t does not mention
stairways or elevators. Not word
is mentioned about a step ladder.
There IL nothing In the rules
which would permit q ringSide re-
porter to put up his hands In

Of him.
