Army and Navy
i'm Bitter Battle
to ScOreless Tie

New York, Nov. 24-(By A. P.)-
Army and Navy fought each other
to standstill today in the mire of
the Polo Grounds before the greatest
crowd that ever witnessed the annual
servic struggle for gridiron laurels.
Neither goal line was crossed in one
of the most bitterly contested battles
these time honored rivals have ever
waged and out of the tangled, heav-
ing, mudspattered mass, they emer-
ged at the final whistle with honors
evenly divided.
Begged by the heavy going and in
the face of defensive bulwarks that
were well nigh impregnable when
threatened, neither attack was able
to penetrate inside its opponents Is
yard line. Thus baked, each team
tried to break the deadlock with drop
kicks but these attempts, too, failed.
Garbisch, husky Army center, boot
ed wide of the uprights from the 81
yard line in the second quarter and
in the third, Bracelet, Middle half
back, failed to come even close to the
mark from the 35-yard line after he
had put the Navy in a position to
score with 40-yard run on an in
tercepted cadet pass.
A throng of $4,000, that included
Secretaries Weeks and DENLY among
its host of notables, and which form
ed a Colorful setting despite drab
and leaky skies, witnessed the first
scoreless tie since the Army Navy
classic was inaugurated in 1890. 1t
was the second victoryless struggle
in the 26 staged so far and left I'M
broken the deadlock in the series
which stands at - triumphs apiece.
The other game, 6-6 affair, was
played in 1905.
Today's battle was lacking in the
thrills that so often attend the clash
of service elevens. There We're but
occasional flashes Of spectacular play
in a game that for the most part was
fought out on old fashioned ortho-
dox lines, but the enthusiasm of the
big crowd was neither dimmed by
this or dampened by the rain that
fell steadily for nearly, half the con-
test.

TURKISH TREATY

New York, Nov. pam organized

Yale Club today by a group Of infiu-

A memorandum previously signed

JAMES BLOUIN

worlds Classic Bowling champion,
Former American Bowling Congress in
d!vidual champion and All-Around
Champion. Greatest bowler in the
game today.
Beginners should always start using
a straight ball. one which is delivered
bX allowing it to slide from the fingers
without any twist of the wrist or hand.
This will keep the ball out of trouble
and teaches the beginner to use the
simplest bowling tool first. More sea-
soned players use this straight ball to
clip off lone pins or combinations Of
pins.
(This is the first of is brief lessons
in bowling. which will be of real value
10 any man or woman interested in
the sport. Half the lessons will be by
Blouin. the half by Jimmy Smith. the
two biggest bowlers in the world today.
1t is rare privilege to have two such
instructors. Do not miss a single les
son. One will appear each day.
