ARMY AND NAVY
GAME NEXT YEAR
OFF ON DISPUTE

sANNAPOLIS, Md, Dec. II P)--
Traditional athletic relationship be-
tween West Point and the naval
academy went by the board, at least
temporarily, today, with the an
nouncement by Rear Admiral Louis
M Mutton, superintendent OF tho
midshipmen's institution, that 'the
naval academy contemplates taking
no further steps towards any army
navy game for 1928" .v.i s. ~
Admiral Nulton's statement followed
the decision of West Point author
tiles, speaking through Major General
E. B. Winans, superintendent of the
military academy, who asserted that
the navy request for a three year
eligibility rule, governing member
ship on athletic teams, would not be
complied with at the cadet school,.
i This was navys year to write the
contract for the annual gridiron
classic between the two schools, and
navy authorities had included q
clause in the contract calling for the
adoption of the three year eligibility
rule by the army This rule, which
U0CdlIlG GllCCGlVC Will NlAC 4l4AN.o4AAP
men last June, states that students
who have participated in three years
of a varsity sport, either at the
academy or at another collegiate in
stitution, cannot continue to repre-
sent the middies in that sport.
Navy wanted West Point to adopt
the same procedure but Major Cen
eral Winans in q statement yester-
day, said there would be no change
in existing athletic rules at the mill
! tary academy, and forthwith mailed
back the contract to the navy calling
(, for a 1923 game.
Considerable doubt was expressed
whether the army would change its
opinion in the matter while naval
officials. by the statement today,
refused to alter their f1rsS position
regarding the eligibility rule Whether
official Washington will be forced to
take action to bring about an agree
nent, depends largely, it was pointed
out, on whether Admiral Mutton and
t General Winans get together IN an
attempt to iron out the difficulty.
At present the athletic controversy
: is deadlocked, and Secretary of War
Davis expressed the opinion today
that he had hoped the superintend-
ents of the two schools would ulti-
mately get their heads together to
clear away the smoke of battle which
has clouded the military and naval
institutions.

These are two of the centrally located
garages near the principal hotels of the
city and may have shared a larger
percentage of foreign cars but all
garages report favorable business, as
do also the tourist camps at the city
limits. The tourist cs .nps, however,
are in slightly a different position to
the garages, as tha5e patronage has
been split up quite a bit during the

now operating than ever before.

While Douglas garage men and tour

agree that travel business is good and
most of them are optimists. They are

yet to come.
It is not an easy mat, er to secure an
accurate check on the foreign cars, by
which is meant the cars licensed in
other places than Arizona, but the
garage men have what is believed to
be rather close estimates. The per-
centage of foreign cars to Arizona cars
