PHILADELPHIA. Nov. Navy
marched TO the front ranks of East
ern football today by downing Penn
sylvanias mighty team before up
ward of 60 900 spectators at Frank
lin Field, l3 to s.
Penn went into this battle on a
rain soaked. soggy field as an un-
beaten and united team but the
Quakers weren't close to once-tied
Navy, which outplayed the Red and
Blue by a margin far bigger than
the final score.
Time after time the Midshipmen
were banging away inside Penn
territory but only twice could they
make good their opportunities. In
the first period pass from Bill
Busik to Sammy Boothe was good
for II yards and a touchdown and
early in the third quarter little
Howie Clark climaxed 70-yard
march by twisting 8 yards of tackle
to plunge across.
Bob Leonard added the extra
point after the first score.
Penn came back grimly late in the
third period and counted when Joe
Kane ran "a yards around his own
left end. Capt. Gene Davis missed
the extra point.
1t was Navy's first victory over
Pennsylvania since 1885.
First Quarter.
Navy won the toss, Busik kicking
off into the end zone for a touch
back. On two plays Penn lost 6
yards and Clifford punted short and
outside on his own 46.
Busik ran his right end for IA and
. ward offside penalty against Penn
aided Navy to bang down to the 13.
Busik picked up 6 yards in three
tries and Navy sent Leonard in to
trv for field goal with the ball on
the 15-yard line. The angle was
difficult and his boot missed by a
narrow margin.
Clifford quick-kicked on second
down and Busik ran it back Is yards
to Penn's Al. Returning the punt,
Boothe kicked out on the Quakers' 10.
Penn punted on first down, but re-
ceived a 5-yard penalty and elected
to try again. Clark, replacement for
Busik, carried to his 49. On re-
verse. Boothe picked up first down
on Penns 80. Cameron bucked to

NEW YORK. Nov. 1.-The full

scribed in New York from the
German radio showed today that
Germany charged fatty the
United States had attacked Ger
many.
The statement. as received by
c. B. S. said reports of German
submarine commander showed:
The two American deStroyers
had attacked German Subma-
rineS and therefore the United
States had attacked Germany. a
fact which has also been con-
firmed by the American naval
authorities.
There was no immediate indica-
ton of whether Germany would
attempt TO invoke the tri-poWer
pact with Japan which binds
Japan to come to the aid of the
European Axis powers if they
are attacked bv power not at

WASHINGTON. - r apid ac-
celebration of defense production
and lend-lease aid to Britain this
week prompted the budget bu-
reau to raise it's defense Spending
estimates to a record $18,000,00O,-
900 for the fiscal year.
Four months ago budget Direc-
tor Harold D. Smith estimated
defense spending for the 1912 fis-
cal year which ends next June at
SIS, 500, OOO,OOS. At a press con-
ference on Monday. however, he
said the estimate must be in
creased by $2.5OO,OOO,OOO.
, The cost of defense this year
will amount to about $135 for
every persons in the United States
and approximately 18 per cent. of
the anticipated unprecedented ma
tional income of $1OO,OOO,0OO, 900.
To Borrow More
Revision of the budget esti-
mates prefaced borrowing by the
treasury next week of between
1000, 100000 and $3.50, 100000
to help offset the deficit that has
been increasing at the rate OF bet
ter than a billion dollars month.
BY next June, Smith estimated
defense expenditures will reach
$4,000, 100000 a month, pushing
total expenditures for the fiscal
year to $24,581 100000, an all
time high in U. S. history. Total
expenditures during the fiscal
year ended last June 80 amounted
to only $12,710,0O0,O00 and of this
total, $6,255, 100000 was for de-
tense.
Includes Lease-Lend
Smith said his revised estimate
of defense spending included costs
of lend-lease which he expected
to rise rapidly soon as prior Brit
ish cash orders are filled and
American productive machinery
expands.
The defense total, however, did
not include direct purchases by
Great Britain of about $1,000
100000 and loans by federal cor
porations for preparedness pur-
poses now amounting to $780,
100000.
Smiths new figures dwarfed
estimates in the budget sent to
Congress last January. For ex-
ample, Smith cited the overall
defense program, measured by ap-
and authorizations
already passed or now pending
before Congress amounting to
$50, 900, 900, 900. In the budget mes
sage last January, the compar-
able total was less than $29,OOo,-
100000.
