PACT
IS DECLARED NEAR
Tentative Agreement Said to
Have Been Reached to
Resume Rivalry.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
"A JEW YORK, January Am
nouncement is expected within
the next 10 days that the Mill
tsry and Naval Academies
have signed an agreement to resume
athletic relations beginning with an
Army-Navy foot ball game next De-
cember 3.
Negotiations have been going on for
sometime and although a report today
that an agreement had been reached
was denied at Annapolis and termed
premature at West Point, it is believed
official confirmation will be forthcoming
soon.
Mai. Philip B. Fleming, graduate
manager of athletics at West Point;
Lieut.. Comdr James Hall, who holds
the corresponding post at the Naval
Academy, and Capt, John w. Wilcox,
athletic director at Annapolis held sew
eral conferences in New York this week
during the meeting of the foot ball
coaches and the National Collegiate
Athletic Association.
1t Is understood they reached =
tentative agreement, which has not yet
been ratified by Navy officials.
Relations between the two schools
were severed in December 1897 when
the Naval Academy returned unsigned
the contract for the 1923 foot ball game,
announcing 1t would schedule no teams
which did not abide by the three-year
eligibility rule. Army's position was
that so long as cadet at the Point
was in good standing he should not be
barred from its athletic teams and in
tercollegiate competition.
The terms of the tentative agreement
now reached were not learned, but 1t
is believed Navy has reversed its former
stand and athletic relations will be re-
sumed with no strings attached. In
that connection 1t may be pointed out
that such universities as Yale, Harvard,
Pittsburgh and Notre Dame play Army
at foot ball and other sports year. after
year with no question as to the eligibil-
ity of cadets who may have competed
in varsity sports at some college or
university before entering the Military
Academy.
There is little question that the cadets
themselves and the graduates of the
two schools are heartily In favor Of
the renewal recent poll of Naval
graduates showed an overwhelming ma
jority in favor, while the corps and
the regiment at the charity game De-
cember IL carried out all the tradi-
tional ceremonies of Army-Navy grid
iron battles of other years.
No games were played in 1928 or
1929, but the two schools answered the
call of charity in 1880 and played last
month for the benefit of the unem-
ployed. The two games crossed nearly
a million dollars.
In anticipation of an agreement both
athletic departments held open the De-
cember date. Navy has played the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania the first Satur-
day in December for the past two years,
but moved the Penn game up to Octo-
Der 20 for 1882.

SPORTS IN SOUTH
ARE DUE FOR CUT
Base Ball Will Be Hardest
Hit in Slash Because of
Lack of Funds.
BY DILLON GRAHAM,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

Z A TLANTA, Ga, January 2.-Di-
~ minishing foot ball gate re-
~ ceipts, arch enemy to intercol-
legiate athletic programs, again
threatens to sharply curtail Spring
sports at many Southern schools.
Base ball, the least popular of the
four major sports, generally is first hit
as this slashing of sport schedules
starts. Last year several large schools,
including Tennessee, eliminated the
diamond game from their sports list;
some because of lack of interest" but
most because Of slim foot ball money.
Continued slumps at the foot ball
box Office this year has struck deeply
into the minor sports programs at
number Of Dixie schools and indica-
tons now are that the Dixie Base Ball
League, looked upon as the savior of
the diamond game at six schools, will
be disbanded this season
Mercer, one Of the largest Of the
Southern Intercollegiate Athletic AsSo-
citation group, already has announced
It's withdrawal from the league because
foot ball receipts of last season aren't
adequate to take care of the big ex-
pense base ball ineuus."
Georgia. having Just completed q sue
cessfull foot ball year, Is ready to carry
on in the league, but the outlook isn't
SO bright at some of the other schools.
Florida plans to remain in the league
and to establish better base ball facili-
ties than ever before on its Gainesville
campus. Oglethorps also hopes to con-
tinue in the base ball league, but will
Limit its basket ball to an intramural
program. Auburn and Georgia Tech.
the other members. may remain in the
league, although talk of shorter sched-
ules has come from these schools.
The base ball league will meet here
next week to decide the fate Of the
loop. Reports are that Clemson, South
Carolina and Alabama would be inter-
ested in joining the circuit to replace
any teams desiring to withdraw.
Most Southern schools will support
basket ball teams, but will cut down
the number of games and road trips.
Indications are that track, wrestling,
boxing and golf, which generally rely
on foot ball to pay the bills. will Do
handled on much smaller scale.
Definite announcements of drastic
cuts in the minor sports schedules are
expected within short time from sew
eral schools

been notified by the dean of Wright S

straighten out some scholastic Difficult

This may mean that Wright will not be
available any more this season.
The Old Liners were gratitied with
their trip to play Wisconsin, December
80, although they feel they should have
won insteG1 of losing, 1892, in an extra
period. In fact, they had the game
sewed up had they been inclined to

ball in their possession, Is seconds to

n IEW YORK, January What
y happens when foot ball declines
in earning power Is now being
demonstrated throughout the
country. Retrenchment Is the order Oh
the day, and the athletic authorities
who wish to please the faculty and trus-
tees of their institutions are those VINO
are submitting feasible schemes OF ar
economical nature.
Some Of the ideas are far-fstcf.ed and
impracticable II sports at the instieu-
tons in question are not to be relegated
to a very minor category. while others
are more conservative, hence more sane.
1t is to be regretted that the MIS-
souri, Valley Conference group mas elm
mated indoor track and base ball. VI
The two indoor track can be better
spared in the West, not Only because
basket ball gives legitimate outlet 1or
the pant-up spirits OF Wlntef-oound
students, but because there Is plenty OF
time in the Spring and early summer
for activities on field and track.
But the dropping OF base ball Is
really too bad. They had begun 10 pick
up on the national game in the Missouri
Valley and elsewhere in the West, anu
a genuine interest WAS 'eyivinR SO the
Elimination Of this spout In the valley
loop-and rather Sad little loop 1t Is
after a not too gooi foot ball season
will be regretted By all who hold brief
for perhaps the finest game in all its
phases that exists.
On the other hand, the statement OF
John A. Heydler, president Of the Ma
tional League, that base ball had in the
last year shown distinct revival on the
tandlotS and in the public parks, will
in some measure reassure those who
love base ball and have viewed with
dismay its gradual decline in oil col
leges throughout the country into
category approximately minor.

parable to the South. Very, very few
schools in the South have revenue from
all athletic sources equal to that figure.
But even with their small revenues,
Southern schools have suffered.
Two institutions that have been ex-
ceptionally well fixed financially be-
cause OF good incomes from foot ball
fell way off last Fall. One stated that
its income was only half that Of the
previous year, and the other that its
Income was only onefourth that of
1880. That is real depression, oc
casioned bv number of factors, and
there is only one answer-smaller STATS
and general pairing Of expenditures
However, some of the other schools had
incomes that far exceeded their incomes
OF the previous year.

aCapes, the sensation Of the
Paris spring openings, have at
last become a popular fashion
here in America. It took quite
a few months, and for a while
it looked as though they were
not catching on very well, but
since late spring, we could see
that the women liked them
better and better and that they
would undoubtedly be a summer
success. They came in by way
of the cape sleeve, which is
still the most popular version
of the cape. But from now on,
you will see more and more
separate capes with dresses
and more jackets with cape
sleeves. Watch for them in the
fall. We should have coats,
suits and frocks with capes.
