Comparison of Records

A comparison Of their records
shows that the Middies, while they
have not been beaten, have been
lucky to escape defeat. The Army
has taken it on the chin just once,
and showed a lot Of stuff in the
process-the Cadets looking better
in defeat at the hands of Notre
Dame, for instance, than the Mid
dies did beating Colgate.
Navy has a great line. A better
one than that of the Army, and a
review of Army-Navy football
games shows that line-play has
been responsible for victory more
often than any other single factor.
Harry Wilson, great back that he
is, will not run wild against this
Navy line, r,)r will the other fleet
ball carriers of West Point smash
the Navy defense with any continu-
Gus measure of success. Army Navy
games are not played that way.
On the other hand, Caldwell, the
best ball carrier in the Annapolis
squad, and the speedy, versatile
Hamilton will find a different kind
of opposition in this determined
Cadet team from any they have sue
ceeded against this season.
Strongest Team
The Army is the strongest team
the Navy has faced this year. The
fxun
casions barely able to defeat it's OPP
position. From this one might de-
duce chances of an Army victory
as being good.
Because of the fierceness with
which Army-Navy games are
fought, however, u is the team
with The all-rOund equipment
which is most likely to win. The
Navy seems to have better all
round team, with many triple
threat" men to maintain a steady
barrage upon the Army.
Kicking plays a most important
part in Army-Navy games, and
Hamilton Of the Navy is an erratic
punter. He was woefully mean
against Michigan until he realized
he was the hero of the game in
other departments. Then he started
kicking like Jim Thorpe. Wilson Of
the Army has lost some of the best
with which he first hit the inter-
collegiate game seven or eight years
ago.
So it seems to be a toss-up. and
any little cadet or middle who is
offered odds against his team will
have something to be thankful for,
anyhow.

the near future. when the evidences
Of the war have disappeared. this re-

will not be seen. This point has been
considered by the commission in plan-
ming it's memorials. and they will be
made sufficiently imposing so that pe"-
pie will have an incentive to make
special trips to see them.
There are rlany ways in which our
people could erect memorials TO par
ticular units or to State troops and
at the same time assist the people
of various places in France associated
with our activities.
THE policy Of the commission. with
respect to Its own project. for which
public funds have been authorized. has
been to keep the number of memorials
down to minimum and yet commem-
crate in a suita ahle way all activities
of the American forces in Europe
during the World War. This policy
has been carried out and additional
memorials will not help the commits
sion's project. but will make it nm
ba lanced by cornmemorating certain
units out OF proportion to their deeds
on the battleffelds.
Experience has proven that il Is
almost impossible to provide proper
upkeep for a memorial erected on the
hattlefields of Europe except through
governmental agencies. Many "f
those now erected give the impression
that the people who pnt them M
have forgotten their existence. Mem

four separate sections.
First. both governments agree to

for their relations.
Second, they both affirm their desire
for peace.
Third. they agree to regulate all

carefully avoids possible conflict with
the obligations to he assumed by
Germany on her league entry.
