The outstanding football game In
the State during the 1882 season will
be staged when the Naval Academy
and the University of Maryland
elevens meet in their annual battle In
the Baltimore Stadium on November
II, at o'clock.
The game not only will have more
pomp and color than any other grid
contest of the season in the Old Line
commonwealth, but 1t should be
packed with interest from strictly a
football standpoint.
The entire corps of Midshipmen,
without doubt the most colorful cheer
ing organization in the country to urge
ON an athletic team, will be In attend

features that are as attractive to many
as the grid game itself. High officials

rather defeat than Maryland, it is a
clnch that there is no rival, other than
the West Pointers. that the Annap-

than the Old Liners. And Maryland
certainly covets victory over Navy.
The game, il it comes anywhere
near matching the contests that have
been staged on the gridiron during the
past two years by the Midshipmen and
Old Liners, should be thriller.
