Foot Ball at High Tide in | Foot Ball Yesterday. l SERVICE GAME ATTRACTS A PHALANX OF UNIFORMS With Middies Again on Their Toes Following Slump Army Will Speing Big Upset If It Defeats Gridiron Rival. - BY LAWRENCE PERRY. EW YORK, November 25.—Foot ball’s high tide, as it affects the metropolis, has set in. With the regiment of midshipmen from the Naval Academy installed at the Hotel Commodore and the West Point foot ball squad, coaches and retainsrs at the Hotel Astor, every adherent of the Army or the Navy finds no lack of point for en- thusiasm over the approaching foot ball game bhetween elevens of the two great service institutions. Uptown New York today suggests that the metropolis had been selected as the scene of an armament confer- ence to which had besn sent as delegates officers of every rank in the Ri Pittsburgh, 0; Penn Stats, Hampden-Sidcey, 31; Waks Ferest, M. 7 Guiltard, 0.

MISS MUSH, ALLOW ME To PRESENT MR.DOLDRUMS — WELL , THE TRAIN HAD BEEN BUumMPING ALONG- FOR 50 MILES Army and the Navy from the highest to the lowest. Uniforms were as plentiful as dinner coats at an opening of a new Broadway restaurant. There is a martial aspect not only about the lobbles of the two hotels which are annually selected as official headquarters of the rival insti- tutions, but in all hotels. And on Broad- way or 5th avenue, should one close his eyes and keep walkivg he would stand as many chances of bumping Into a general, an admiral, a coionel or a captain, as he would an ordinary civilian, New York Is not long on uniforms. The official dress of Gotham is' the spike-tailed coat. And ther is nothing exciting or alluring or picturesque about habiliments of the sort. ~.And in the of real regal, the only uniform New Yorkers are used to are.those worn by the police. As a conseguence, to- day’'s Invasion by the coliprts of the Army and the Navy made a Treal im- pression. It gave to uptawn New York that touch of martial cojor and that im- pression of military elan, which. i§ usu- ally lacking. There: were. grayaaired generals, pompous as game eyes alight with enthusiasm of the coming struggles; their wives and daughters and sons and children-inslaw ;- there were colonels—in fact, all ranks and de- partments of our far flung ‘Army were represented. Same-for the Navy. The ordinary civilian at either the Astor or the Commodore was simply out of it. Even the gorgeously uni- formed bell-hops had somethimg on the civilian today. The man without olive drab or navy blue today was brought face to face with the hum- drum and unpicturesque qualities of his calling, especially if he were com- peting with some young Army or - Nuvy man for the favor or at least the attention of a girl. In that event there may be no doubt aforesaid civilian was wholly on the side of complete, not partial disarmament. Partisan loyalty is as prominent an element of the preliminaries of an Army-Navy game, as other classic struggles, ‘such as the Yale-Harvard or Princeton-Yale games. Sentiment is likely to prevail over those facts that are evolved from unbiased dope. Yet it was plain today to catch agreat- exaltation in the spirit of the Navy men than in representatives of the Army. The West Point factions have a dogged manner, as though to say, “Well, we're up against a forlorn hope, but we may be able to give them a surprise.” Navy Defeat Would Surprise. It would be a surprise, not only to the Navy erowd, but to the general foot ball public, were the Navy to lose this game, ‘and yet such ig the nature of foot ball that an outcome of the sort is not at all out of the reckoning. Last October when the Midshipmen met and defeated Prince- ton they presented as fine a com- bination as the country possessed; they were trained and pointed to the minute. But the team appears to have paid fofr its attainment of top form in midseason by a slump which has now been protracted long enough to cause worry. The firmy game may find the middies again on their toes, at. the top of their form, mentally physically. ‘West Point will be entitled to signal honor if she de- feats her rival. If not, then the Cadets. who have en learning a Jot of foot ball in the past few weeks, but are not so strong in point of ma- terial as the Sailors, may spring one of those reversals which so often skock the foot ball public.

The North Caro- lina-Virginia game at Chapel Hill, which was canceled and rescheduled Wednesday, was a terrific battle from whistle to whistle, with Carolina win- ning, 7 to 3. Virginia scored its three points with a field goal by Clarke in the first period. In the second quar- ter Lowe ran around end for thirty yards for Carolina’s touchdown, and Blount kicked goal. In the last few minutes of play Vir- ginia resorted to forward passing, and Twice threatened to score. The con- test was marked by much forward passing and penalizing. Decisions of officials cost Carolina 119 yards and Virginia 35. Lowe was the star of the game. Johnston, whose eligibility was violently disputed by Virginia, played well, but was not a deciding factor. W. & L. Downs Hopkins.
