 HlrYlrd Today

Cambridge, Maas.. Oct. 20 (uP)- After ls years of pieskin peace. Harvard and Army. old-time grid iron rivals, will renex hostilities be- fors | capacity crowd of 5000 in the Harvard Stadium this afternoon with West Point . 10-7 favorite.
 The Crimson eleven will bs ons whose goal-ltne has yet to be croas- cd this season, and the Cadet team will be one which has triumphed in three out of three starts and which is heralded as perhaps tho greatest football aggregation in the east.
 Cool and partly cloudy weather was forecast. with indications that rain would not serve as | handicap to the revival of football relations between the two anc.ent foes.
 It was to be . battls between Army brawn and might and Har- ward speed and deception. and those who bet appeared to believe that the hard-hitting Cadets would prove more than | match for tho tricky Crimson offense which has been de- veloped especially for the occasion.
 The names of Sprague, Perry. Hammack, Cagle and Murretl loom- cd large in the West Point lineup aa the Army prepared to seek revenge for the IS straight defeats adminis- tered to it by Harvard in the daya prior to 1910. But the Crimson banked on such stars as young Tom QilMgan, Captain "Art" French Harper and Guarnaccia to pull .t through.
 Harvard had one distinct advan. tage-an ample supply of substi' tutes. The Army. on the othel hand, Is, an 11-m.h football team this season, and 1t will be virtually impossible for Coach "Bi6" Jenei to make . substitution without measurably weakening his eleven. Neither Jones nor Coach Arnold Horween of Harvard was willing this morning to predict tho outcome of the game. Both prcfessed to bt confident, however. and both made 1t plain that defeat would not bt accompanied by Alib!s.
 The Cadet corps, 1900 strong. ar rived in Boston this morning for tht game.

Uncle sam's boys in blue will sail into the Nutmegs at Memorial Field in the second game Of q footbaH double header tomorrow afternoon. It will be the annual football con- test between the Sub Base and the New Britain professional team, and as usual a large crowd is expected to watch the game.
 There should be plenty of noise at Willow Brook park with sailor rooters on the sidclines pulling foe their team to accomplish feat which has not been done in the per- iod of time both teams have been playing-to put over 8 victory on the New Britain team.
 Year in and year out the teams have been meeting, but the Navy has never won. This year the team. strengthened by several new players will be a stronger outfit than any which has previously shown in this city, according to the manager who has written in a letter to the New Britain manager.
 If New Britain is 10 stay in thu running for the state football cham pionshfp it will have to take the But Base team into camp. A defeat fol the Hardware City eleven may put the team out of the running. Thii will be the last obstacle in the path of the New Britain grid team before ! the Hartford game and the loca eleven is anxious to start this game without a Connecticut defeat chalk ed up against it.
 New Britain's chances are good Bulkley and Conklin have recovered from their injuries as has "Cnk' Conley and they will probably b. started in the game.
