RAY Of HOPE

The Navy still entertains a faint
hope that the Army Navy game can
be salvaged for next fall. 1t builds
this hope on the fact that MAJOR
General Winans, commandment at
West Point, is due fLr a transfer
on March l. The Navy regards
Winans as the real die-hard of the
entire controversy and. therefore, is
waiting to see what might happen
in March before it definitely accepts
Princeton as a substitute opponent
in place of the Army.
The latter is supposed to be
marking time for the same rea-
son i'm its negotiations with sew.
eraI prospective opponents, in
Guiding Nebraska.
The belief of many outsiders, is
that President Coolidge will do
something. The service academies
have no such faith.

to think that there is also 3 deal

1 believe sincerely that the man
who moves his left foot away as he
hits the ball can cure his fault by
concentrating upon straightening his

If the player straigl1tens his right
