The fact that the middies will
step out for the game in more or
less familiar surroundings will have
little effect on the outcome, al
though Baltimore, playing host to
its first service game, Is markedly
sympathetic to the Navy cause.
The real Navy ally ID the heavy
field. Here the ponderous Navy
team, outweighing the Army twelve
pounds on the individual hoof, can
make use OF its superior weight.
A sustained rain would just about
level everything, including the fact
that West Point has in Wilson,

can hope to muster.

perior charging Of the Army line
with Garbisch, ElIinger ana Far
wick as Its stars. This trio, far
outweighed by their Navy oppo-
nents, would be Of little use In the
mud
The only factor that bad weather
cannot and win not affect Is the
superior punting Of Wood, who Is
figured to our-kick any man the
Navy nominated. But this advan.
tage did not figure to be great In
any case, owing to the fact that the
Navy ends were expected to cover
punts better than their Army op-
ponents, who with the tackles were
the only weak links in the Army
chain.
Duly apprised Of this fact, Nays
strategy would seem to call for q
running attack off tackle but it Is
understood that such will be far
from the case. The tip Is that the
Navy will play a passing game as
long as the weather JuStifies this
maneuyer.

Warnings have been issued to

and that executions will be ordered

Sudanese at Disadvantage.
The Sudanese have but little
ammunition and the British control
the machine guns and ammunition
stores, which are under heavy
guard.
1t Is reported that an Italian
attorney was killed during yester-
days attack.
Though the nleager advices did

that martial law has been declared
In Khartoum.
River boats entering the Sudan

the only consistent communication
has been via wireless.

The British are rushing re-enforee-

Sudan, 1t being the opinion OF MILL

London Mlnimizes Situation.
LONDON, Nov. 2s.--"serious but
not critical"
This was the foreign office charac-
terization Of the situation in the
Sudan today in the first comprehen-
sive report from official sources.
Martial law has been effective in
the Sudan since 1899. the foreign
office said, so its application at
this time does not indicate an eX-
treme outbreak.
The mutiny occurred November
81, when the rebellious soldiers, with
two machine guns, marched on
Gordon College. Two platoonss OF
British stopped them.
The British commander addressed
the nautineers and asked them to
dispense. Acting Sirder Huddleston
also appeared and ordered the mutt
neers to dispense. When they re-
fused to recognize his authority,
he gave orders that the Sudanese
be rounded up.
The number of casualties In the
ensuing fighting was not fixed, the
foreign office stated. The situation
was under control today, the state
ment added.
