Look: to Federal Action in Army-Navy Break : New Minor League Body Planned BREACH OF 20 YEARS AGO HEALED BY DEPARTMENTS Playing Site Choice Then Caused Dissention, But West Point’s Rejection of Eligibility Makes Present Issue More Grave. By the Associated Press. EW YORK, December 17.— Army and Navy at the parting of the ways in their foot ball relations today, while gridiron fans awaited a move by the Nation’s high officials to pre- vent the end of rivalry dating back to 1890. Some 20 years ago the service in- Stitutions had their first but the War and Navy Departmen ped in with suggestions and the series was resumed. At the time of the first dissention there’ was disagreement over such matters as the selection of a site for the competition. Now the Navy's three-year player eligibility rule is re- sponsible for the differences. Recently the naval athletic authori- «Hes ‘announced that after July 1, 1928, the Midshipmen would not enter into epmpetition with any.team that would | not acknewledge the three-year player | rule.

West Point Declines Contract. Claritying the situation vesterday. Gen, Winans made public correspond- ence with Rear Admiral Louis M. Nulton, superintendent of the Naval Academy, in which he disclosed the return of a foot ball contract to An- napolis unsigned. Under date of December 3, Admiral Nulton wrote to Gen. Winans advis- ing him of the Army-Navy, 1928, foot ball game, calling attention to the eligibility clause. In part, the letter said: “Rejection of the eligibility feature by the United States Military Academy « will. be considered as rejection of the -contract and the Naval Academy will consider jtself -free -to schedule an- other game. on November 24, 1928."

PERRY. NEW YORK, December 17.—The Army has refused to sign a contract for a 1928 game with the Navy con- taining a clause providing for enforce- ment of the Navy's three.year rule hy both institutions, and the next move now is up to the Navy. In all prob- ability it will take the form of a definite break in relations. It may be suspected that the Nav: has been preparing for a break of this sort, The writer knows that last year Comdr. Jonas Ingram went to Prince- ton in an effort to arrange a late No- vember game to take the place of the Army game if a break between the service institutions should come.

The outstanding athlete at present from this group is Michael P.

He is powerfully built, standing a lit- tle over G feet in height and weigh- ing 182 pounds. Charley Broadbent has won distine- tion along much the same line as «Bagdanovich.

Meeting for the second time in lit- tle more than a year, Glick carried a savage punching attack against the champion in Madison Square Garden last night and had piled up a big advantage on points when Morgar was awarded the decision on account of a low blow. Glick had heen cautioned on several occasions to keep his punches up. Glick floored Morgan three times, and on each knockdown Morgan com- plained of low blows, but his protests were not allowed In the second round Morgan went down to the resin, claiming a foul, but when the referee refused to ta notice he resumed the scrap count of nine. Twice in the round Glick floored Morgan, once for a count of eight, and on the other knockdown the bell intervened.

SAN FRANCISCO, December 17.— The alleged overemphasic of athletics, an old subject of controversy. which bobs up in various parts of the coun- | try in relation to universities and colleges, has been applied to high schools by an educational instructor at the University of California. It is causing parents and teachers in northern California to take stock of sports in the preparatory institutions. Parents and teachers, of course, will disagree on Edna W. Bailey's condemnation of interscholastic ath- letic contests, but to high school foot ball herces, in their glory at this season of the y it is just another case of somebody always taking the joy out of life.
