Badgers Match Speed
Against Weight Of
Great Lakes
By the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Oct. 17.-Unbeaten
Wisconsin, regarded a dark horse in
the Western Conference campaign,
banked its hopes on speed today to
offset a tremendous weight disad-
vantage against the Great Lakes
Bluejackets in Soldier Field.
Holding victories over Camp
Grant. Marquette and Missouri and
a tie with Notre Dame, the Badgers
depended on their 3-H boys-Pat
Harder, Eroy Hirsch and Mark
Hoskins-to lead them against the
massive Sailors for another victory
before entering Big Ten competition
next week.
The Bluejackets, coming around
slowly with victories over Iowa and
Pitt after losing their opener to
Michigan, were expected to follow
a two-team substitution system in
an effort to wear into Wisconsin,s
purported weak reserve stock.
Some $4,000 fans were expected
for the game in the huge lake front
stadium.

If all goes well. And his return will
be welcomed by his mates. Carroll's
bulk alongside of other Redskin
heavyweights would be of tramen-
dous advantage in stopping. the
Brooks on heavy field. Flaherty,
however, not only wants to stop the
foe, but score enough points to bag
the verdict and increase Washing
tons margin over its rivals for East
ern sectional honors.
You can see what a soggy field
would do to Dick Todd or Andy
Farkas, who need firm turf for run
ming he said today. "They can't
cut in the mud, or feint, or even run
we'll. Andy might do us some good
through the line. He's got lot of
drive and is running as we'll as he
ever did, and on a muddy field the
only safe offense is straight football,
so he might be able to help us there.
But the line will have to help and
I never yet saw a line that could
charge in the mud. The players
simply can't get the proper footing.
They slip and slide around, and the
first thing you know everybody is
playing defensive football"

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Oct. 17.-Tony
Passarelli, who has been one-two

reason for finishing fourth against
Navy yesterday as the Midshipmen
romped over rain-drenched course

Passarelli lost his shoe early In
the four-mile grind and finished
with one foot bare and limping
slightly. He was only 81 seconds
behind Williams and scant two be-
hind Capt. Jack Creamer and Plebe
Vic Barry of Navy, who ran a dead
heat for second place. The Hoya
sophomore probably would have
done better with another shoe, but
did sufficiently we'll to merit the
praise of Coach Hap Hardell.
Williams covered the distance in
the remarkably good time of 81 as,
turning in a smooth. even race with
finishing kick. The Hoya star,
being groomed for the mile run,
never was threatened seriously after
the halfway mark and set his own
pace.
Gene McElroy was the third
Georgetown man across the finish
line, landing eighth place. The
Hoyas' last seven men brought up
the rear.

# Played at All, Site
Is Knotty Problem
For Authorities
New York or Philadelphia
Trovel Difficulties Mean
One-Sided Spectacle
BY LAWRENCE PERRY,


BALTIMORE, Oct. 17.-Within a
short time there will be a def
i1lite announcement concerning the
Army Navy football game. It will
involve several contingencies-flrst,
whether the game shall be played
at all and, if so, where and also
under what conditions.
If, as at present arranged, the
contest is held in the usual arena,
Philadelphia's comparatively remote
Municipal Stadium, or If at Frank
lin Field in that city, it now is GER
tain that the corps of West Point
cadets will not be present.
Transportation difficulties are too
great. For contests in which the
Army team will engage in New York
Hudson River steamboat will be
utilized. Landings both for the Co.
lumbia and Princeton games and
the Notre Dame affair at the Yam
kee Stadium can be effected in such.
way as to eliminate even the ne
cessity of subway travel.
Ocean Trips Impracticable.
But manifestly no Hudson River
craft could ply the waters of the
Atlantic Ocean-as would be neces-
sary, even in water journey to
Philadelphia-Without peril to the
craft and all aboard her. 1t cannot
at this writing be learned whether
the Naval Academy authorities will
sanction trip of the midshipmen
regiment to Philadelphia, provided
the service classic is held there. If
the middies did appear it would be,
lacking the cadets, one-sided
spectacle, hence an unsatisfactory
one.
On the other hand, it might be
decided-again assuming the game is
played in Philly-that half show is
better than no show at all. Fact is,
transportation of the midshipmen
by water is entirely practical. They
could board one of the Chesapeake
Bay steamboats, and proceed to des-
tination along a route leading from
the Severn, thence into Maryland via
the Elk River with a trip through
the Chesapeake Delaware Canal
which is said to be able to float
steamboat, and so to the Delaware
River and Philadelphia. But this is
merely an unofficial route outlined
by those who have no say about the
acceptance of the suggestion.
New York Possibility.
II the game were transferred to
New York the military academy
cadets would have the best of it; for
Chesapeake Bay steamboats, are not
any better fitted for the Atlantic
Ocean than Hudson River steamers.
1t is a situation completely up in
the air at present.
Meanwhile. the regiment of mid
shipmen, some 1000 of them, will
leave Annapolis by boat tomorrow
morning for this city where the Navy
team will tackle Yale in the big
municipal stadium here. Thus is
evaded the ODT ruling that spe-
cial trains may not be operated in
the interest of sporting events.

One of the incest youngsters ever

his death at Guadalcanal, according
to word reaching his mother. Lew
enlisted in the marines soon after
Pearl Harbor. Seldom has a young
ster been so keen to get into uni
form. He wanted crack at the
Japs, and probably he took some
with him when he died. He left for
duty in the Pacific area in July, and
wrote George Diffenbaugh from his
new post, declaring that after the
war he wanted to come back to
Kenwood.
Not an outstanding star as a golf

knew him. HE was one of the

nominating again the wife of the
