F Washington ever is to be the scene of an Army- Navy foot ball game, short of the time that long-pro- jected, huge, new stadium be- comes an actuality, this should be the year. The difficulties involved are numerous, but not insurmount- able, and if all those interested display the same commendable spirit shown on the floor of the House last Saturday by the Re- publican Representative Fred A. Britten of Illinois and his Democratic colleague from Ala- bama, William B. Bankhead, what generally is recognized as the greatest of all sports spec- tacles could be assured for the Capital. It has been regarded for some time as virtually certain the breach in athletics be- tween Uncle Sam’'s two service schools, existing since the game in 1927, although they have met on the gridiron in charity affairs for the past two years, will be formally bridged before another foot ball season ar- rives. It is more than a coincidence that both academies, in mak- ing their schedules for next Fall, have kept open the De- cember 3 date, and, with no commitments made as to where the game shall be played, the door is wide open for consid- eration of Washington’s bid. No Question of “Rights.” T is not contended this city has any “rights” to the gridiron classic, although as the seat of the Federal Gov- ernment it belongs to the Na- tion, as do the Army and the Navy, but it has a strong sen- timental claim to the event, inasmuch as Washington is the focal point of the Nation- wide celebration in honor of the 200th anniversary of the birth of George Washington, who literally was the progeni- tor of both branches of the service, as well as Father of His Country. If the total receipts obtain- able were the sole considera- tion in selecting a site for the Army-Navy game Washington obviously would be in a fatally disadvantageous position, for it hasn't the facilities for seat- ing huge throngs available in larger centers. And in a contest with cities where the game is sought as a commercial plum, with ap- peased constituencies the re- ward, the Capital also could not hope successfully to com- pete, for its voteless state makes it a political nonentity. But no other community can approach the appropriateness of the Capital as the locale for this gem of athletic events as the means to furthering what undoubtedly is the greatest peace-time demonstration of patriotism in American history.

To carry out its program the District Bicgntennial Commis- sion must have more funds than are available, and the Army-Navy game would pro- vide the solution of a problem that thus far has cefied much earnest effort. According to the plan out- lined the receipts from the grid classic would be divided three ways, a portion to each of the services’ needy athletic treas- uries and one to the local or- ganization charged with pro- viding events designed to in- terest and entertain visitors here. Griffith Stadium cannot ac- commodate all who would care to attend the Army-Navy game, but enlarged to its limit would seat a crowd in keeping with the importance of the affair, and furnish the means ade- quately to bolster depleted ex- chequers at West Point and Annapolis, as well as assure the success of a patriotic proj- ect of keem interest to every American.
