C. BYRD. HE same spirit of confidence shcwn all last week, prior to the Pennsylvania game, is in evidence at the Naval Academy now. Yesterday at An- napolis it was impossible to find anybody with any thought other than that the Navy is going to give the Army eleven the surprise of its life at New York Saturday. From those responsible for the management of athletics, to the lowliest scrub on the squad, no person seems to look upon the game as anything but one of the traditional struggles in which sither eleven may win. The Navy is in good shape. The vic- tory over Mayland two weeks ago ap- parently was the turning point, and the game with Army has since been an ob- Jective that has kept the morale at a high pitch. Last week the spirit of the whole Academy was one of optimism, and one of those in charge of athletics, Comdr. Reinicke, told the writer he felt that Penn would be defeated. And, sure enough, it was, so decisively & that Navy superiority could not be questioned. It was just as bad a whip- ping as Wisconsin gave Penn earlier in the year. In fact, in only & few games hi has Penn And now the Navy feel the succ:ss.

No, there is something over and above those things, somet] as elusive as it is ir- ;esiszlble—x don’t know what it is. Who loes?” The writer thinks he does. That mys- terious element which inspires and in- forms Notre Dame play is a great un- derlying motive, an organic impulse that transcends sport and involves all that is highest in the human soul. Religion Seen as Ald. Notre Dame foot ball, to be explicit, is inspired by a cause, and that cause is their religion. By this is not meant a flery, indomitable impulse to prove that it takes a Roman Catholic foot ball out- fit to play the best foot ball there is, :Lo.ttn all. The impulse is deeper than ‘There Notre Dame players are ex- pressing upon the foot ball fleld what religion means to them _individually. Every game they play is built upon a substructure of religious aspiration. This is an age of sophistication, so called. So there will be many, no doubt, who will smile at the above, Well, let such as these be not too sure in their amusement. There is a lot more in life, in' foot ball, than your sophisticate dreams of in his philosophy. There are stupendous things in human life ‘which' are not gix g :735.

His remark no doubt brought to some thoughts of the former Southeast- Southwest rivalry on the gridiron. Apaches and~ Mohawks both come from Southeast. Now the Mercurys, who formerly proved a thorn in the side of the Sou rners, have rise; to challenge the supremacy of the Navy Yard section. Manager Seymour Hall of the Apaches has agreed to play the Mer- curys providing they can hurdle the Seaman Gunners, who also challenge the District champs. Mercurys, recent graduates from the 150-pound class, gave promise in the Capital City League, but whether they can provide opposition for the Apaches remains to be seen. A real revival of sandlot foot ball interest would take place with another Boutheast-Southwest clash between well matched teams. . NE of the best sandlot foot ball battles of the year is expected to take place Sunday at Griffith Stadium when the Apaches, recent con- querors of the Mohawks, and St. Mary’s Celtics oppose.

The new ruling, passed at a meeting of the Board of Athletic Control No- vember 24, but just now made public, supersedes an earlier regulation under which persons connected in official ca- pacities with Yale athletics agreed not to discuss over the radio or in the press events in which Yale teams partici- pated. In announcing the ruling the Yale Athletic Association denied reports that | it was aimed at the activities of Tad Jones, former head foot ball coach and member for several years of the foot ball advisory committee. Prof. Selden Rose, chairman of the Board of Control, said that, on the contrary, Jones him- self was in favor of the new rule. Jones, who now is in California, is not expected to be a member of the committee next season. The commit- tee automatically is dissolved at the end of each foot ball season and Jones has indicated that he does not desire nor expect reappointment. Both Jones and Mal Stevens, Yale's head foot ball coach, have been writing | both have appeared on radio broadcasts as well, Lt OLD-TIME IRISH GRID | STARS ARE LINING UP| Assembling at New York to Pre-| pare for Sunday Charity Tilt Against Pro Giants.

By the Associated Press. EW YORK, DeSember 9.— Ticket sales for the benefit foot ball game between the Army and Navy at the Yankee Stadium Saturday had passed the $600,000 mark today and it still was hoped the receipts would reach or exceed $1,000,000. Grover Whalen, chairman of the committee sponsoring the, contest to aid the unemployed, announced that 17,000 of the 80,000 tickets still remained to be sold. He expressed confidence that they would be disposed of within the next two days. Stimulating the sale more than any other one factor was Navy's spectacular triumph over Pennsylvania at Philadel- phia last Saturday. The Midshipmen revealed unsuspected power on the at- tack in that game and all predictions of an easy Army victory have been tossed overboard. Prospects now are for a closely contested game that may be de- cided by one “break.” Army Record Much Better. Army has much the better record, | losing cnly to Notre Dame by a 1-point margin and getting no better than a tie with Yale.
