Princeton, \. J.. Jan. 10 P)-- Princeton looma1 today as a likely opponent for the Navy on the grid iron in place of the Army next fall with definite action hinging on the meeting of the board of athletic con- trol here on Thursday.
 While Dr. Charles W. Kennedy, chairman of the board. declined to confirm Or deny that the Tiger would oppose the Middies, he an- nounced that "all matters of immc- uiate interest to Princeton athletics conference.
 II refuse to affirm or deny that Princeton will play the Navy in 1928" Dr. Kennedy stated.
 The feeling prevailed in university circles that the football officials de- sired to withhold any information until definite arrangements were com pleted. It was considered i'm probable that the Navy would make any announcement pending word from the nutnOFltleS neTe.
 By accepting a game with the Navy. Princeton would be obliged to play on Nov. 24 q week after 'hc Yale contest. which would be T radical departure from Princeton athletic custom.
 The Yale-Princeton rivalry. the oldest in existence, has been reserv- ed as the seasons biggest and final engagement on the Princeton sched- ule since 1889. The Tiger has played varsity football but once after the Yale classic and that was in 1883 against the University Of Washing ton.

COUNTY "Y" LEAGUE
Intermediate Circuit to Continue Play Tonight With kens;ngton Meeting State Trade School

The fifth week of play in the In- termediate County "" basketball league will begin tonight when the Kensington Boys club meets the State Trade school in the Senior High school gym. The Traders, falling far behind their record of last year, when they won the state championship, have won only one game in the league this winter, while kensinston has yet to capture it's first. A victory for the suburbanites tonight will therefore bring them into tie with the school team and they will work hard, but the Traders remain favorites. There will be a preliminary game between the Trade School Seconds and the Celtics.
 Tomorrow night the league lead- CTS, the Lions and South Church ln- termediates, will clash at the Nathan Hale Junior High school, the game being scheduled for o'clock. The Lions have not yet been defeated and have pinned on the church team the only loss it has suffered. The contest should be corker. as the teams are about evenly matched and first place is at stake.
 The full South church team will go 10 Broad Brook Saturday night to open the second round of play in the Senior County "" league. The locals won by 51-29 when the teams played here, but on its own floor the Broad Brook team is considered far more dangerous. The Swedish Bethany team has graciously con- scented to postpone it's church league game with the South church to al- low it to make this trip fin quest of it's seventh consecutive victory. Wap- ping is scheduled to go to Simsbury this week and rlainville to Farm ington.
