CCHEDULINd Of another Army-N
y game this Fall for charity prob
ably means the resumption Of ath-
letic relationships between the two
service institutions. They played last
Fall and they are to play again this
FAN and probably will again next Fall.
Only one logical development can come
from sthat. No doubt everybody is
rather anxious to see Army and Navy
resume general athletic relationships.
and that Is Just what Is likely to de-
velop from the charity gridiron games.
The Arriy-Navy games are the most
colorful in the East and undoubtedly
are generally looked forward to with
greater interest than people look ahead
to any other.
Navy never wanted to break with the
Army in the first place, and Army
never wanted to break with Navy.
However, both have adopted certain
positions and neither has felt that 1t
could recede from that position without
loss Of prestige and forfeiture of what
1t considered to be its rightful stand.
Nearer and nearer. though, the compro-
mise is coming, and before long it may
be reached.
TATHOLlC UNIVERSITY Is spend

functioning In this respect, and, while
they do not take the Gallaudet game
very seriously, are looking ahead with
a good deal Of interest to their contest
with North Carolina State.

they must be able to break I'D passes

HAVE SAVED PUNCH
Game Here Saturday Means
More to Either Eleven
Than Grid Prestige.

A NNAPOLIS, Md, october 7.
N Your Uncle Sans Mid
"A Shipmen were in high
spirits today over the I'M
official announcement that an
Army-Navy game might be played
this Fall, but the news served to
increase the Naval AcademyS
concern over the foot ball battle
with Maryland Saturday in Grit
fifth Stadium.
The feeling here is that If Navy can
nail Maryland to the mast 1t should
look with a deal of confidence to the
remainder of its regular schedule and
come to the Army clash prepared to
uphold its end in making that game
its old classic self.
Trepidation is an emotion unknown,
at least unadmitted. in the athletic
ranks of this institution. stepped in the
philosophy of war, but the professional
staff In the Nays grtdiron campaign
would rather 1t be almost any other
team on the list than Maryland for
contest at this time. You have that
direct from none other than Rip Miller,
head coach.
His explanation was bit Of q
treatise en- foot ball psychology and at
the same time shed what to some folk
was a new light on athletic rivalry be-
tween Maryland and the Navy.
THE boys from College Park might
i have been Terrapins sure enough
when they won by only two touch
downs from Washington College and
barely got away with a decision over
the impending struggle, they'll be q
bevy of wildcats when the opening
whistle blows Saturday.
Attitude may be 80 per cent OF a
teams effectiveness" said Rip; the
difference between a poor and great
team, and believe the outfit that goes
into Saturdays scrap the better tuned
will win. So far as mechanical foot
ball goes, it looks like toSs-up.
I'VE haven't been fooled by Mary
lands showing against Washington and
Virginia Curley Byrd's bunch Of
seniors obviously didn't take either OF
those games too seriously. They were
almost licked by Virginia before they
could arouse themselves, but when they
finally got started they went out and
won the ball game. They showed bit
afternoon.
ct THINK you're going to see great
i foot ball game. There's something
more in back Of it than a desire
for prestige. You know, Maryland and
Navy meet in several sports and we
don't have a keener competitor. In
recent years we've lost as often as we've
won in sports other than foot ball and
the boys at the Naval Academy are
mindful of that fact. To the country
at large meeting between Maryland
and the Navy may be Of no great i'm
portance but to the athletes Of both
institutions every game, no matter
whether it be base ball. basket ball,
lacrosse. trock or foot ball. has in it
much the same spirit you'll find in the
various neighborhood battles Of your
own home town. Don't lose sight of
that fact in sizing up our foot ball
game. If Curley Byrd's gang have
thought of anything else all Fall but
beat the Navy then I've been kidding
myself Believe me, we've given plenty
of thought to Maryland and we're going
70 play our heads off to win"

Bills Take Advantage of Listless Ball by Vets

The Elks took advantage of list less playing by the Vets Sunday and opened the second half of the City League season by winning 8 to T in nine innings. Only two of the Bills eight tallies were of the earned variety while the Vets earn cd five Of their seven.
 And there's some doubt yet as to who won. In the fifth inning, Clarke uncorked a wild pitch that went to the grandstand, Worth, trying to make home was called out at the plate by Umpire Nos trand when Boyd returned the ball quickly to Clarke.

But under Section 4, Rule 47, a runner is entitled to one base if the ball delivered by the pitcher pass the catcher and touch any fence or building within 60 feet of home plate. Possibly it is 60 feet from the plate to the scorers cage. But the ball touched the stand several ! feet closer to the plate that the farthest point back of the rubber,
