ARMY AND NAVY
 MEETS SATURDAY
The Annual Clash At Polo Grounds To Be Hard
 Fought One

NEW YORK, Nov. 23.-The gray horde of incipient Army officers from West Point and the Blue Boys from Annapolis will come charging down on New York Saturday morn ing, bursting with noisy enthusiasm to be discharged across the gridiron of the Polo Grounds in the after noon when the service teams meet again in one of the great tradition al rivalrles of American sport.
 Perhaps when the regiment of na- val cadets arrive on Broadway the betting on the game will come to life, but this far there is very little financial interest aside from that of the ticket scalpers, who were grow ing more panicky every minute Fri day evening. The cadets of both schools usually back their teams with their savings with little regard. for the market odds, which, in Wall street, strongly favored the Army.
 The bottom dropped out of the ticket scalers' market when a cold rain, which began Friday morning, continued in the evening and gave indications of an intention to finger. The official weather forecast prom ised good football weather but the public enthusiasm over seeing the game at rates of $2O a ticket became very soggy and the prices dropped as low as SIP a ticket. As each cadet is allowed to buy six tickets for $4 each and some of them may wish to sell theirs for enough money to buy theatre tickets in the evening after the game, there probably will be plenty of cards available at req sonable rates before the whistle blows.
 Both the teams arrived in advance of their fellow students Friday morning and were treated almost as prisoners. They were not allowed to meet their friends or relatives and were held tSgether under a strict social ban Sr fear some young star of the gridiron might drink too much tea, eat too many eclairs or dance too many steps before the game. After the brawl. however, all but few of the students of both acad emies will be given night of lib- erty in New York.
 Coach Folwell of the Navy was pessimistic regarding the chances of his boys and this was taken as good omen for the sailors. Both teams were chaperoned to the Polo Grounds Friday afternoon and splashed through the mud in swift execution of their plays in practice. They were lathered with goo when the coaches let up on them and es- corted them to the showers for cleaning.

YALE IS FAVORED TO BEAT HARVARD
Many Past Beatings RankIe In Heart Of BuII-
 dog

NEW YORK, Nov. 23.-The Yale Bulldog leaps at the throat of John Harvard tomorrow afternoon.
 That Bulldog. symbolic of Yale football, fretfully awaits the inn pending tussle. The welts from past whippings at the hands of Cam bridge John still plainly mark its hide
 The ignominy of nine Yale de- feats in the past 13 battles between this pair, rankle his canine heart. Thorough and lasting vengeance is the Bulldogs aim and expectation.
 Upwards of 50,00O persons, who will fill the Harvard stadium and it's temporary stands to capacity, will witness the combat.
 Yale rules a decided favorite, but memory of the happenings of the recent past, when Yale teams, pre- dicted as certain winners, have trailed supposedly inferior Crimson combinations, make a Yale triumph anything but sure.
 On the respective records for the season Yale shows to advantage in almost every department of play. Its attack has produced a total of points nearly three times greater than Harvard's and its defense has yielded fewer points to opponents. Contributing to that great record
 
 of rare ability and a system of of- fense that has either baffled or bat tered all opposing elevens into sub mission.
 Harvard. however, will enjoy a weight advantage in both line and backfield, and should show to the front in kicking. Harvard, too, may capitalize such advantages to an ex- tent that will offset many Yale in- dividual and tactical assets.
 Two schools of football will be brought into play by the rival teams.
 "Outscore the other fellow and you're sure to win,' is the Yale slogan, and the Ellis, stressing at att tack, have overcome early disad- vantages in both the Army and Maryland contests as evidence of ~ their confidence in that theory.
 Don't allow the other fellow to score and there will come develop ments which will bring you victory" is the Harvard saying. That theory in years past, particularly when em- ployed against Yale teams, has proved effective, but this season it has not served to avert defeats by Dartmouth and Brown and a tie by Middlebury.
 The Crimson is expected to em- ploy a defensive and kicking game against the Ellis, and await a favor able break before launching a rum ming and forward passing attack.

Harry Wills Fasting

NEW YORK, Nov 23.-The frag- rance of a sizzling pork chop, brown in the pan. or of fried chicken turn ing golden among the corn-fritters might be fatal to Harry Wills at present.
 MT Wills, who can't find any work at his trade of prizefighting, because the white boxers won't heed his re quests to be poked on the nose, has been starving himself for ten days. He entered upon his fast for the good of his moral strength and also to keep himself near fighting weight

CULLMAN HI HAS SET GREAT PACE
One Of Outstanding Teams For State Title This
 Year

CULLMAN, Ala, Nov. 2S-(spe- al.)-With 194 points in their fla vor and their goal line uncrossed in the seven games played this season, Cullman County High stands out as the- most favorable team for the state championship in this section of the state. Only one game re mains to be played. That is with elfe St. Bernard college team here on Thanksgiving Day. This game, how ever, will not figure in the standing unless Cullman should lose, as St. Bernard has already been eliminated by the Sidney Lanier team at Cram ton Bowl.
 Coach Pugh has developed a miracle team this year, having a great set of average men and plen- ty of good team work, no man standing out far above others in ability.
 In Fisher, Cullman has a field gen. eral who runs the team in way not usually seen in high school. Ragland a last years sub is show ing the way this year 70 broken field runners and his putting is far better than any shown by his op- han are a great pair of backs, do- ing a large part of the ground gain ing for the locals. Pugh, a first year man, IS one of the best defen- sive man ever, playing at the high school.
 With Williamson, regular center, out of the game with broken shoulder, Ham" Smith. 15-year- old freshman, is filling in credit ably. Williamson will not play for Cullman any more but will make some college freshman team good man next year. Mitcham, another dil-state prospect at tackle, is out of the game with a sprained liza ment Mitcham has played won derful game this year. Richardson and Johnson are two big steady men whose work has done much toward the great record of the team this year. Johnson can pass ball with more accuracy than is shown by lots of college men.
 ing up the end runs around their way. Waller bids fair to get a place on the all-state team. Wray has been out of the game most of the season with injuries but has made Cullman a line man who will be hard to replace. Captain Sapp has played all over the team from fullback to center. Young and Estes, two utili- ty men, have gotten in several games and will more than likely draw a regular berth next year.
 Cullman has amassed an attack that has scored rather freely on every team played this year and some of the state's strongest have been eliminated, Walker county Howard Bullpups, Blountsville Az gies and Guntersville. not to speak of Hartselle and Arab.
