Woa Point, x. Y.. Dec. 1&.--tP)- Alleged Ii&courtesy by city officials may lead tho Army to decline to play any Of it's football games in New York in the future
 Disgruntlcd over treatment ac- corded the Army team during it's re- cent visit for the game with Notrc Dame at the Yankee stadium. Major Philip Fleming. graduate manager of athletics, said the Army would play it's big games elsewhere. unless New York city officials accorded the Cadets courteous trcatment.'
 Mai. E'leming's statement appar ently was the direct outgroWth of an incident during the Army's visit here to meet Notre Dame. Maj. Fleming said Police Commissioner Grover A.. Whalen had refused to provide the Army team with police escort from it's training quarters to the stadium although this has been CuSt tOmary. Later WhalCn rcconsdcrcd, Fleming said. after Army authorities had pro- tested that Notre Dame was beng provided with such an escort. fleming pointed out that without an | escort the Army team might have been late getting to the stadium be- cause of the big traffic jam there.
 "Ncw York isn't the only place we can play" he said. "Of course we much prefer it because 1t IS near inc Point and the Cadets arc enabled 10 i have T free evening in the city be-

Nordgrcn brought it 10 A. as the quarter closed. kee- ley and Mahan began to find the range in the second period and the Methodists pushed out into a 1G-9 lead, Miller getting most Of the Bap- tist points. Walrath ran wild in the second half and keeley and Mahan again lent aid while the Baptists got only six more points on two goals by Miller and one by Fleming.
 kecley played the best game for the winners. while 1Iahan and Wal rath. though missing numerous shots. tried often enough to send their totals into double figures. Hugh Miller, a new addition to the Baptist team, played by far the best game for the losers and bolstered them up considerably, The summary:

They were Jo,. rltarloW, substitute guard. who cropped in q foul shot and Russ lfaigis, substitute center. who made a fold goal which put him team one point ahead.
 This was the feature game of the night and it held the interest of the fans at a fever pitch from the be ginning until the closing whistle, A half time the teams were dcadlock- vd at , points. The greatest point margin separating the two quintota vas ill the opening minutes when he Stanley Works quintet got oft to- a flying start and led 10 c.
