In the Football Association Cup, the amateur teams did not do as well as might have been expected. Barnet was well trounced by Brighton by 3 to 0. Brighton was all over the amateur side from the start and Barnet never looked like scoring. The easiest victory was that of Watford over Lowestoft Town. The latter was beaten by 10 to 1. Rugby Gains. As was forecast, the Harlequins beat Blackheath. The “Club” did not cross its opponent's line once, but it was handicapped by the lack of the services of its scrum-half A. T. Young. Oxford made a pitiful display against the London Scottish. If its performance is to be taken as the standard of play which it will show in the University match, then a Light Blue victory is to be contemplated.

There is a wealth of good hurdling material at Cambridge this year; it should not be difficult to get together a strong team to represent England. Giving an Opponent. The University of Pennsylvania football players have been wearing fake pads on their jerseys, near the elbows. These pads resemble a football and they are intended to confuse opponents. It is quite a long time ago that teams first tried the plan of wearing headguards to make the other side think they had something valuable inside to be protected. What Size Cricket Ball? The opinion of the Cricket Advisory Committee in favoring a smaller ball seems to have drawn approval. Many of the best-known players have hacked the proposed change and the older generation, which usually looks with disfavor on changes in the basic rules of sports, is not excluded. The only way to tell how valuable are the advantages to be gained by the bowler with a smaller ball is to give it a test. Certainly, it should be easier to produce leg-spin. Rhodes conclusively proved in the last Test match with Australia that the spin bowler still stands supreme in this department.

If a smaller ball be used, it may be necessary to reduce the distance between stump and stump very slightly, but no changes in the rules will be necessary here. They set forth that “the stumps shall be of equal and sufficient size to prevent the ball from passing through...” Sam Sparrow.

Partisan though they may have been, the 110,000 spectators crowded into the Chicago stadium knew that there was little to choose between the Cadets and the Midshipmen. They sensed that they were in for a treat such as has seldom been offered. And they were not disappointed. After the Army had hacked for three periods at the Navy line, the Annapolis boys came back and butted their way over the West Point goal line in a heroic effort that saved the day and left the honor even. But no one was prepared for the upset that awaited the appearance of Knute Rockne’s team before the Carnegie rooters. In a season rich in surprises and upsets, the overthrow of Notre Dame takes its place as the greatest reversal of them all. Notre Dame will not lay claim to the mythical national championship for 1926. Not now. Navy Scores First. The story of the Army-Navy game is one of superb football. There were no mistakes. Each man that went into the fray outdid himself. The Navy kicked off, and the first Army drive was launched, only to be halted in midfield. Schubert reeled off a long gain after the Midshipmen had reached the center of the gridiron; this was followed by a pass to Hardwick. The receiver was downed within two yards of goal. No mortal line could stop

Schubert reeled off a long gain after the Midshipmen had reached the center of the gridiron; this was followed by a pass to Hardwick. The receiver was downed within two yards of goal. No mortal line could stop the Navy here; the Army defense did not, and Hamilton kicked the goal. Failing to gain after the kick-off, the Army punted. The kicker was hurried, and the Navy took the ball on the enemy’s thirty-yard line. Caldwell stepped off fifteen yards as the quarterback ended. Substitutes were rushed in by the Army coach. Schuber and Caldwell again took up the advance, and soon there was another Navy touch-down on the scoreboard. Here the Army defense stiffened, and the Cadets had their turn. Steady hammering carried the ball down the field. The Army scored on straight football. Once more it attempted to march towards the Navy goal, but it was halted by an inspired Navy line in the shadow of the posts. A covered pass, from a running formation, Harding to Harbold, allowed the Cadets to tie the score. Army Takes Lead. Between halves the stands were a mass of riotous color. The largest crowd that has ever witnessed a football game cheered itself hoarse as the Cadets and Midshipmen paraded over the field behind massed bands.

One of the brightest spots of the game came in the third period. The Army launched a drive from midfield, and Cagle got away round the Navy left wing for forty-five yards before he was sent crashing to earth. The ball was across the line, and the Army howled as 21 points went on the scoreboard. Fresh strength was thrown into the fight by both coaches. It was not until the last period was nearly over that the Navy attack was able to top the Army defense. Shapley, back in the lineup, charged, ripped and tore his way along, aided by Ransford. Finally he found a hole and wormed his way eight yards across the goal, tying the score when Hamilton added the precious extra point. A minute later the game ended.

Balsan and not by him.” This announcement was made in London yesterday, regarding the ecclesiastical proceedings which resulted in the annulment by the Sacra Rota of the marriage between the Duke and Miss Consuelo Vanderbilt, now Mme. Balsan, in New York in 1893. The report that M. Costa Thedorov, leader of the Bulgarian Agrarian Party and former Bulgarian Minister in Belgrade, had been assassinated is officially denied. The rumor was caused by the murder of a man bearing the same name.
