n yEW YORK, December g.
M This thirty-second foot ball
i Y clash between Army and
Navy on Saturday ought to
be a bit more like the 30 they
played before the famous break"
of 1927.
Their charity engagement here
and at least part of the glamour
somewhat artificial conditions,
and at least apart of the glamour
that used to surround Army-Navy
duels was lacking.
It should be different this time. The
two service academies by no means
have patched up their differences over
eligibility standards and their coming
battle was arranged solely in the inter-
ests of charity, yet 1t should be much
like the spectacular games of other
years.
Last year the game was arranged
late in the season as sort Of after
l.. thought, but this time the rival coaches
have known since early October that
a game would be played. That gave
each chance to point" for the other
and there has been strong evidence
that Navy, at least, has been doing
just that. The Tars, away to q slow
start, have been improving steadily
and reached top form for the season
last week when they toppled Penn,
6 to 0. .
Army, on the other hand, played its
haet foot ha aco 81 Nrxfr Dev No
vember % and there appears to be
some doubt whether the Cadets again
can fash so brilliant a game.
So far $4,000 tickets for the clash
have been sold with cash In hand
amounting to about $37o,000 II the
remaining 10, GOO tickets, now on pub
lie sale. are disposed Of, the gate"
will pass the 100000 mark.
Cadets Are Enthused.
WEST POINT, N. Y, December
P1.-It takes Navy game to arouse
really intense student enthusiasm at
the Military Academy.
Already signs bearing such inscrip-
tions as sink the Navy" has appeared
and the Arny's practice session was
witnessed by large crowd of cadets
who lined the sidelines. An athletic
later in the week.
The only real casualty on the squad
Is F-entzei, back. He Is confined to
the cadet hospital with q heavy cold.
Scouts who watched Navy whip Penn
Saturday warned Army that hard game
was in prospect. They were pArtic-
ulariy impressed by the work OF the |
great Navy center, Tuttle.

Davis, who returned to the squad
after q tvo-week lay-oh with q cold,
and who Miller said would be started
at the quarterback post against the
Army at New York Saturday, was not
in uniform. He was so weakened by
his work Monday he did not participate
in the drill.
Moncure, the quarterback who en-
tered the Sailor picture at the signal
calling post against Penn, had the job
and Miller said he would be started
against the Soldiers II Davis was not
available.
Outside of replacement Of Davis by
Moncure and Campbell by Hurley at
fullback, the Navy lineup remains the
same as against Penn.
