w VEST POINT, N. Y, December
16.-Foot ball interest has
NM begun to die out in most
parts of the East, but at
West Point it Is approaching
it's highest pitch of the season. 1t is
only two days until the Cadet team
starts its long journey to Palo Alto,
Calf, for the final and perhaps the
most important game OF the 1923 sea-
son against Stanford.
The squad, which comes closer to

ned stops for workouts at Galesburg,

tice for the game, December %. The
return tour, which includes visits to the
movie studios at Los Angeles and a
days stop at the Grand Canyon, Is due
to wind up at West Point January 4.
The party which will make the long

their services during the grueling prac-
tice season, the scrub and plebe teams
will be taken along with the regulars.
Only the members of the squad or
varsity will take part in the game, but
the others will be used to give the
regulars practice along the route.
A train of Is cars, fitted out with
every possible convenience for a travel
ing foot ball team, has been made up

It includes six PullmanS. two dining
cars, an observation car and two spe-
cially equipped cars, one fitted out as a

field, and when the practice is over,
they can take their showers and rub
