undertaking in its athletic history. This
fact indicates that its officials oelieve
that the Academy will be prepared to
cope with the strongest teams in the
country and give q good account OF
itself.
At least two of these teams-Ohio
State and Southern Methodist-w1l be
encountered for the first time, and Will
tend to give variety and interest to the
Midshipmen'S schedule.
Relations with the University OF
Pennsylvania, Princeton ana Notre
Dame are regarded as fairly permanent.
Princeton is definitely on the Nays

its final game. Naval people are, Of

with the Military Academy will be ar
ranged, in which case the service CLASH
will be the final contest.
Nav Meet Coast Team.
II the Naval and Military academies
do not play in 1880, there Is chance
that the Naval Academy will meet
Southern California, and the game will
probably be played in the East.
No Official information has been given
out at the Naval Academy in regard to
the possibility of a game with Southern
California, but it is known that the
subject has been preached and that the
eleven from the Pacific Coast may meet
the Midshipmen.
Naval Academy officials have been
reticent about possible SeaSon-end1ng
game with any other team than that Of
the Army, as they desire to throw moth
ing in the way of a possible recon-
citation with the other service school.
1t Is true, however, that at present
there is no indication OF healing of
the service breach. Efforts to interest
the heads of the services in the matter
have, it is believed, failed. those OFF,

settled by the schools themselves.
1t will be the policy of the Naval
Academy to avoid any arrangement to
substitute another team for that Of the
Military Academy as a regular opponent
for the final game Of the season. Last
and Dartmouth will be the final oppo-
nent next Fall. In 1880 1t Is probable
that it will be Middle West or Pacific
Coast team.
The playing fields Of only two Of the
big opponents in 1880 have been def
nitely settled. Pennsylvania and the
Navy will meet in Philadelphia, and the
naval team will go to Columbus for its
game with Ohio State.
Two Big Home" Games.
Southern Methodist and Princeton
will give the Navy home" games, which
makes it likely that they will play in
the Baltimore stadium.
Should Notre Dame also be on the
Nays schedule, 1t will be the turn of
the Midshipmen to travel, and the game
will be played either on Notre Danes
own grounds or at Chicago.
Selection of playing grounds for the
final game will be postponed until the
opponent of the naval team Is settled
definitely.
1t is believed at Annapolis that the
foot ball system of the IngramS, in
Guiding Comdr. Jonas N. Ingram, who
has been foot ball director for three
years. and his brother, Navy Bill" who
has been the active field coach during
that time, has been thoroughly installed
at the Academy and its elevens will
now be ready for most ambitious
effort.
