Army-Navy Controversy Waxes Warmer As No St WOMEN IN SPORT * BREACH INGREASED BY NOTE EXCHANCE Little Chance Seen for Grid Game Between Service Schools in Fall. NNAPOLIS, January 4.—While no effort is being made at the Naval Academy to schedule a foot ball game to take the place of the annual contest with the Military Academy, there is of opinion here as to the ces of the breach between the service schools being patched up in time to save this year's game. There is a general feeling that mea eventually will be found to bring the |0 hools together, but there is a grow- ing feeling that the game is off for this year at least and that the chances | of a continued athletic feud between the service schools is increasing. The fecling between the two un- doubtedly was warmed by the offic statement issued by the Naval Ac: emy relative to the former collegiate | experience of West Point plavers and | replies to it by officers of the Military | Academy. | It appears that as long as the differ- 1l be repetitions th growing bad ools, and that them o of such exchar feeling between the s the effect will be to fi more fi Delay Widens Breach. Some action by the heads of the ‘War and Navy Departments was ex- pected before this and the longer it is delayed the less likely it will be that an agreement on eligibility of players can be arranged between the institu- tions. The matter has been discussed in Congr been taken and it is thought that ath- | peace between the two schools | an only be secured by the action of | he departments or Congress, as an | agreement between the schools them selves now appears out of the ques- tion Should the heads of the departments | make known to the officials of the | Naval and Military Academies that it | is their wish that the institutions should reach agreement, there is no doubt that the question would be taken up again and in a different spi This, also, it is believed, would bde the effect of the passage of a resolu- tion by Congress. While some might resent what they would term an inter- ference in the internal affairs of the schools, there can be no doubt that a formal expression of the wish of Con- gress would not be ignored. The reopening of the matter must | come by the action of either or both | of these, as there is no doubt that the | officials of the academies have spoken their last words, and it is even re- ported that the Military Academy is arranging a game with another team for that date. Navy Backs Academy. Since the announcement of the Naval Academy’s position in the mat- | ter it is clear from expressions of naval officers that the service is solid- 1v behind the head of that institution in his stand. It is felt that the Naval | Academy should not continue to play #zainst a team which is now the only college team of standing which does not limit its players to three years of varsity experience. At the same time it is probable that the Naval Academy would accept a | compromise, which includes the ulti- | mate adoption of the three.year rule by the Military Academy. It has been suggested, for instance, that this rule | would not apply to students at present | in the academies. A compromise of this kind would | give the Military Academy the oppor- tunity of adapting ftself to the changed conditions, and it is believed that as a matter of fact there would | be few college stars to enter West | Point if 1t was known that they could not continue to play foot ball. In many cases they have said frankly .that the opportunity of playing foot | ball had much to do with their en- trance. As the situation now stands, either ecademy or both may schedule another game for its final contest, and this would make it harder to bring about the service game this year, as the ar- rangement with the other team would | be in the way.

Once, when a man holed his tee shot it w worth talking about. Now, to get in the headlines, there must be striking surrounding conditions. Take these, for example: Lester Redifer, playing his first round of golf on the Columbus muni- cipal links, hit a 210-yard iron shot on the second hole, the ball rolling into the cup. A. Japanese, K. Tasaka, made two holes-in-one on a single round on the Langara course at South Vancouver. He landed a mashie shot into the cup on the 151-yard fifth, and put a spoon shot in on the fourteenth, It is also recorded on an English course that two women halved a hole in one, which can be put under the head of the rarest happening in golf. The most peculiar hole-in-one was reg- istered on an Engiish links. The tee shot rolled past the cup, up the slop- ing green, and into a rabbitt’s burrow. { Under a local rule the ball could be lifted and dropped without penalty. It was, and it rolled down the green and into the hole. Under the rules it had to be scored as a hole-in.one. It seems to me that in recording the most astonishing happenings of olf, none of these could be over- looked. (Copyright, 1028 North Amarican News. DAver “Alliance.)
