FRIENDLY SPIRIT
IS SHOWN BY BOTH

Regatta-0biec
Grid Plan Out.
BY LAWRENCE PERRY.

n IEw YORK, June 24.-Plans
M were in the making to play
/ Y the Notre Dame-Navy game
next Fall in this city the
Saturday before the Army-Navy
game. But they have been dropped
as a matter Of good will to West
Point, where obviously a gridiron
contest between the South Bend
team and the eleven from Annap-
oils Immediately preceding the
traditional Army-Notr Dame set
to would make no sort of an ap-
peal.
It appears that the Navy wanted this
game played in New York at the time
In question, If the Army did not greatly
mind, and Notre Dame deferred decision
until she learned the Army attitude.
Apparently West Point authorities made
their views perfectly clear as to the
project, and so all the chances seem to
be that the Irish and the Middies will
meet in some other Eastern city, prob
ably Baltimore.
Big Wigs Settled 1t.
An interesting phase of the boat race
at Poughkeepeie was the meeting Of
Navy and Army athletic authorities
upon the most cordial terms. Repre-
sentatives Of the two service institutions
fraternized for two days, as Navy and
Army men should, and who can say
what good may come Of It?
A year or so ago the situation involved
in the Army-Navy break was too COM
plex to be handled by those in charge
of athletics at West Point and An
napolis. Big wigs of the Army and
Navy and the National Legislature were
did not enter simply because he refused
to have anything to do with what he
regarded as an issue which concerned
the two academies alone.
AS time has gone onr-Save for an oc-
casional fare-up in CongresS-the tend
ency has moved steadily toward the
Presidents point Of view. Thus concen-
trated, it is as certain as anything can
be that in course of time-not as re-
and the Midshipmen will be once more
reunited in foot ball and other athletic
contests.
Change Of Policy Seen.
It has become clear to the authorities
OF both institutions that the spectacle
Of the National Naval Academy and the
National Military Academy at odds Ia
not a wholesome one. It sets poor ex-
ample, for one thing, to the youth Of
the country and breeds enemies to the
present system of intercollegiate sport
which has enemies enough as it Is.
The writer believes that the new ath.
letic regime at Annapolis will be marked
by a less intolerant attitude toward con-
ditions Of eligibility at West Pont and
will be inclined to let the Army handle
its internal policies as it deems wise,
proper and fitting.
So far as the Midshipmen are con-
cerned they want to meet West Point
athletic teams in all sports and they
will not be entirely satisfied until
they do.

What the outcome of Senorita de

caused much speculation. Most of
the tennis experts, turned StyliSts

the innovation in dress would be
short-ived. Most of them agreed
the costume, despite the freedom
