GROUP WILL ASK
FDR FOR CHANGE
TO LARGER CITY
Stephen Early Says Roose.
welt Will Keep Game
On Community Basis
BY BUS HAM

WASHINGTON, Nov. r. "A
renewed drive to shift the Army
Navy football game from Annapo-
lis to big city stadium started
on Capitol Hill today, with direct
appeal to the president in prospect.
The move was touched off by
Presidential Secretary Stephen
Early's statement at a press con-
ference that he was sure the pres
iGent would keep the annual clash
on a Community limited basis"
because of transportation problems.
Previous congressional efforts to
swing the game to Philadelphia or
some other large city, where $4,000
to. 100,0 might see it, fizzled out.
- game has been set for Dec.
2 in the Naval academv's stadium
which seats about $4,000.
Congressional circles reacted
quickly to Early's comment.
Rep. Manasco D.-Ala) said he
would ask Speaker Rayburn and
House Majority Leader Mac Cor
mack, upon their return to the cap
ital tomorrow, to lie d house
group in final appeal to t h e
president for a change.
Senator Johnson Cd. Colo). a
ranking member of the Senate Mil
itary Affairs committee, said he
was 1000 per cent for transfer
ring' the game to a larger sta
dunn.
Calling this years service teams
1.-TWO of the finest'' ever turned out
by academies, Johnson predicted
that the game this year would be
the greatest in the long time rival
~. Johnson volunteered to go along
with any other congressman in call
ing upon Mr.. Roosevelt.
Rep. Martin (R. Mass.), house
minority leader, said he thought it
was foolish" to limit the game to
residents of the Annapolis area be-
cause of "alleged transportation"
Capacity crowds have attended
games all over the country and
any city selected for the Army
NAVY contest Woulu I'LL tne STATUS
from people in its immediate area"
he. said.
Martin suggested tying in t h e
game with the Sixth War Loan
drive. He said millions of dollars
worth of bonds could be sold at
the game and that it would "give
the drive terrific impetus all over
the nation from the publicity re-
ceived"
Capt. c. o. Humphreys, director
of athletics at the Naval academy,
told the Associated Press that It
would be quite task to handle
ticket sales in event of a transfer
'fbut it can be DONE
