Representative Hamilton PFish, jr., of New York, who represents the congres- slonal district in which the Military Academy at West Point is located, said after a conference with the President today that he confidently believes the foot ball teams of West Point and the Annapolis Naval Academy will again meet on the gridiron next year. The New York Representative pre- sented a plan to the President which he belleves is feasible and fair to both the Army and the Navy. He contends the plan should have no difficulty in ironing out the foot ball differences ex- isting between the two service schools. He said he is sure that this deadlock can be broken and that foot ball rela- tions will be resumed on & basis of mu- tual understanding and good will Representative Fish’s plan calls for the appointment by the President or by the Secretaries of the War and Navy of five former Eastern foot ball captains, including Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Pennsylvania and Georgetown, to act as arbitrators and ee_in advance that whatever decision is arrived at be bind- ing on both the governmental teams. Mr. Fish said he was interested merely in helping to break the deadlock and restore the annual Army-Navy game, which had become almost & public in- stitution. Mr. Fish sald he knew that the President and the Secretaries of War and of the Navy are anxious to have the service games resumed.
