 Whether or not the Army and Navy are yet to complete agree ment as to views on athletic eii- gioAity, their reconciliation com- mencing with this seasons foot ball game, is a logical proceed ing. a
 Having been obliged for two years in a TOW under the pressure of public influence to play foot ball for charity the advantage of submerging their differences in a more business-like understanding are obvious. Charity no longer will be the other beneficiary, but it will share in this years grid iron profits, anyway and the two schools meanwhile will be able to map their campaigns to better advantage, from competitive standpoint.
 There has never been any req son to doubt that the midship- man likes to meet the cadet on the athletic field. Not privately, i'd Army and Navy officers take kindly to the cessation of combat which gives them plenty to argue about, whether they meet on Broadway, the Canal Zone or the Philippines.
 In returning to Franklin Field, Philadelphia, for the formal re- newal of football relations, the. service academies meet this De-' cember on battle-ground historic for it's connection with this old rivalry. From 1899 to 1912 the Army mule and the Navy goat de- fled each other there with only two breaks. Since then, only two games, in 1914 and 1922, have been played on Franklin Field. Eleven of the last 15 games have been played in New York.
 In effect the renewal of rela- tions is on the basis of fulfill msnt of the contract broken, after the 1927 game, by Navy's insis- tence upon the Army's adoption of a three year varsity rule and Army's rejection of this proposal This contract has three years to run, with each school alternately naming the site for the football game. Navy exercised the choice this year by choosing Philadelphia. Army will name the 1883 battle ground, which undoubtedly will be in New York

 It looks very much as though the boys have softened up tht old place.
 Ask Gene Sarazen if you wan to know how quickly the boys for. get by October happenings il June.
 Gene was and still should b, regarded as the worlds cham pionship professional of 1882, fo his twin national open conquests but the end of the campaign find the experts staging the praises o Olin Dutra, the spanish star iron California.
 Sarazens failure to qualify flo the P. G. A. which Dutra wol with superlative golf was the bi factor in shifting the spotligh from the stocky Long Islande to the broadshouldered Californian
