For December 3

NEW YORK, December 17-If.
~ as is generally anticipated, the
Army and Navy reconcile their
differences with view to playing
foot ball on a regularly scheduled
basis in 1892, the game will be
played on Saturday, December 3,
probably in New York.
This information came from well
informed sources today, although
the service academies have not vet
actually reached the point of sign
ing papers.
The Navy already has taken the
first steps leading toward a complete
reconciliation by eliminating the De-
cember foot ball date with Pennsyl-
vania and leaving open, so far, the
last Saturday in November as well
as the first Saturday of December.
Army is dated to play Notre Dame
on November 26 at the Yankee Sta
dium, but West Point officials appar-
emily have no objection to meeting
the Midshipmen on the following
Saturday, December 3, and this
seems likely to be the ARRANGEMENT.
