NAVY OPTIMISTIC
AWAITING WHISTLE
Cadets, With Superior Man
power, 7-to-5 Favorites.
$50 Stations on Air.
BY HERBERT w. BARKER,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

n IEW YORK, December H.
y The thirty-Second clash of
l. Y Army and Navy in the
Yankee Stadium today fur
nished the East with a climactic
finish for one of the most inter-
esting foot ball seasons in recent
years.
Athletic relations severed four
years ago on the question of elgi-
bility rules, the service academies
for the second year in a row were
matched in the interests of charity.
A crowd of not less than $4,000 was
forecast for the game with gross re-
ceipts of about $4OO, 900. OF this huge
total about $3.50, 900 was to 90 to un-
employment relief agencies. The bal
ance Of about $4,000 was to be used
to cover expenses.
MOST of the 10000 seats had been
w sold, but few still were to be
had at face value. A block of 5000
went on sale at the stadium box Office
at 9 am.
The game itself, like all other Army
Navy struggles, loomed as a tight de-
fensive battle. Army was the public
choice, but the odds had shortened to
7 to as a result of Nays excellent
showing against Penn and the I'M
doubted spirit of optimism that has
prevailed in the TarS' camp this week
In manpower, Army definitely seemed

were the Cadets strong in backfield
strength, with an array of crack ball
carriers the Navy could not match, at
least in point of numbers.
A RMY placed her scoring hopes
N chiefly upon Ray Stecker, the elu-
sive halfback who galloped away to
the lone touchdown of the game against
Navy year ago. II they couldn't shake
Stecker loose, the cadets had such aces
as Travis Brown, Tom Kilday, Ken
Fields, Ed Herb and many another upon
whom to fall back.
NaVy's attack, weak most of the sea
son, has been built largely around "Bul-
let Lou" Kirn, battering ram ha1fback,
with Joe Tschirgi, an excellent pass re-
ceiver, as an added scoring threat.

much the heavier, might gain some sort
Of an extra edge under adverse condi-
tionS, but both attacks depended largely
upon speed of execution and demanded
a dry field to operate smoothly.
Two Nationwide networks-about 15C
stations-were to broadcast details oi
the game, and play-by-play accounts
were to be carried to the American
forces at sea and in foreign lands by
means of short-wave transmission.

DASADENA, Calf, December IL.
L ANY one who may think
Georgia is going to lose to
Southern California today at Los
Angeles, can get an argument out Of
Samuel Henry Luther, IS, of Atlanta.
Sammy, as long as he can remem-
Der, has been close follower of the
Bulldogs. He slowed away in the
baggage car which brought the
Georgia teams equipment west.
The lad was discovered en- route,
SO he paid his way by selling cold
drinks, Georgia colors and news
papers. S. w. Royce, manager Of
the Huntington Hotel, where the
Georgia team is quartered, took the
youngster into tow and gave him
room and board.
With no worries outside of getting
back to Atlanta, Sammy has made
1t point to attend all practice ses-
sions and the Bulldogs have seen to
1t that he has ticket for tomor-
rows contest.
Incidentally, Sammy still has the
greater share of $3.50 which consti-
tuted his worldly goods when he left
Atlanta.
