The uumber of intoxicated persons in the hands of the police yesterday numbered twenty-nine, while Satur- day they numbered seventy-two. The total number of arrests yesterday for all offenses was 130, much smaller than the usual number. Police explained that the amall number probably was due to the fact {ment for the playing of the Army-Navy foot ball game. Capt. Ridgway will represent the Army Athletic Council. The Navy representative will in- sist that there be no renewal of the {provision by which games cannot be { played south of Philadelphia, this provision having the effect of elimi- nating Baltimore and Washington as { possible locations. It is regarded as entirely unfair to the Navy. inas- much as the Army can select New York, which practically is as_far from Annapolis as Baltimore or Washing- ton is from West Point. The Navy representative also will take a stand for a somewhat later playing of certain of the games. urg- ing that December 1. rather than No- vember 24. be chosen for next vear's game. However, there is little doubt that the Army will be conceded the right to choose the grounds next year and that it will exercise its preroga- tive in favor of Ne® York. Washington and Baltimore have, a common causegin urging the exten- sion_southward’of the present south- orn limit of the present playing area, as it retention will make the playing of the game in cither place impossi- ble during the period covered by the next agreement. —_— WILL “SNAP” DRUNKS.
