The Army and Navy players ar
rived quietly last night from different
directions, at different stations.
They will not meet until shortly
before game time at Municipal Sta

to the hectic 1886 grid season and a
thirty-seventh chapter in the equally
hectic story of interservice games.
Both Teams in Fair Shape.

The Navy goat will appear the
morning of the game, accompanied
from Annapolis by complement Of
1900 midshipmen, the bugle corps and
band.
First statements by the two team
coaches indicated: Both teams are
in fairly good shape; the Navy will
work out at Municipal Stadium to-
day, the Cadets have nothing sitter
in prospect than taking walk this
morning, the Navy can be expected
to follow its practice of starting with
its shock troops in reserve.

COACH GAR DAVIDSON of the
Cadets said Army now is in
good shape. We were. however, hit
pretty hard by an influenza epidemic
about a month ago" He indicated
Monk Meyer will see action against
the Navy, if only for part of the game.
Coach Tom Hamilton of the Mid
shipmen said, I'VE expect to win, of
course It's always a tough game
with the Army, but we've had funny
kind of season"
Meanwhile the influx of visitors for
the annual classic was well under
way. Hotels were crowded. Bunting
and flags were displayed. Street
crowds showed their sprinkling of the
Nays blue and the Cadets gray
with regular officers of both branches
in beribboned abundance.

In the second quarter, West vir-

Merka fell on it for safety. It was
. snappy bit of play by Merka, for sew

the battle reaching its final stage and
West Virginia apparently to win by

Kaufman, crossing the field as

Kaufman Is Stand0ut.

ITO SINGLE out the best Colonial of
the season would be difficult, al
though Joey kaufman in the backfield
came in for more publicity than any
other and earned it. But Joey got the
finest sort of support from his mates.
And when kaufman was unable to
put the team over some other Colonial
nearly always rose to the occasion.
For the first time in its modern his
tory George Washington was well off
in reserves. Pixlee was able to make
numerous substitutions without pal
pably weakening his lineup. And the
same condition probably will prevail
next season, what with the team losing
only five men by graduation and Jean
Sexton sending up some likely appear
ing performers from his undefeated
freshman team
The West Virginia game was the
last Of their varsity careers for Capt.
Frank Kavalier, captain; Ray Hanken,
George jenkins, Dale Prather' and
Herb Reeves, and although their
loss may not be a foot ball blow,
the entire athletic staff at G. W..
and a large portion Of the stu
dent body will feel q personal loss
with their going. Five finer lads we've
never known on one squad. A grid

every one, with never sign of con-

TT MAY sound as treason to our old
friends on the famous George
Washington foot ball team OF
4 1888, but we can't help believing
that the Colonials of 1896, who ended
brilliant campaign yesterday by
beating West Virginia at Griffith Sta
dunn, Z to 2, are a better combination
Of gridders.
How the Colonials compare with
Georgetown, which scored three times
on intercepted passes to conquer West
Virginia, % to O, must forever be q
moot question, but this reporter. whose
confidence in the Buff and Blue grew
with every game as he saw them play
eight and who saw Georgetown play
once. would risk his nod and maybe
noodle on the Colonials as being the
Capitals top team of the season.
The Hoyas' stock went up another
point or two today following the New
York University 7-to-6 victory over
vaunted Fordham, whose final hope of
a Rose Bowl assignment probably
went with defeat. Early in the season
Georgetown held N. Y. U. to a 7-to-7
deadlock.

Team Play key 70 success.
WHEN the critics get down to the
annual business of selecting the
all-District team, some may find it
difficult to pick and choose among
the Colonials. There were few stand
out performers in Buff and Blue this
Fall, and therein lay the success of
the team, which won seven games, tied
one and lost one to equal the record
Of the 1908 Colonials, which had been
tops The Colonials throughout the
campaign functioned as machine. in
contrast to the G. w. outfit of last
Fall, which was nearly all Tuffy
Leemans.
The Colonials had everything that
goes into the making of a high-grade
eleven Their backfield was versatile,
possessed speed and power; their line
charged with uncommon vigor and
performed with intelligence, and the
morale of the team as whole hardly
could be improved upon. It probably
was the best coached team ever turned
