A victory Thur: the present Geo a record as good any other George Wa since Jim Pixlee here. Five games have been won three lost and one tied so far, and if the Oklahoma contest is put in the right column 1t will mean that the local school will finish with a record of six victories. as many as it has won in any other season. | ek | Again Is Powerful. f A CCORDING to report, O ma seems strong enough to dupli- cate its feat of two years ago, when it piayed the Colonials to a T-t0-7 tie.

Elis Deserve Credit. HEN records of the present foot ball season are written, no matter what other universities have done, the defeat of Princeton and Harvard by Yale should be put down ' as one of outstanding achieve- ments of the year, if not the out- standing. Whatever may be the faults of the dual coaching system which Yale seeks to carry on, that system this year attained its objective to the satis- faction even of all its critics. To point for a supreme effort and in that effort to defeat an eleven supposedly its superior by many touchdowns, then the following week | to hold its peak to whip its time- honored foe is it inself a sufficient reward for a job well done. Such an achievement is, however, more than that. It is a tribute not only to the genius of the men or man in com- mand. but also to the squad members who so effectively executed the con- ception. Yale should be proud of its team, and if these two victories du not upbuild considerably Yale's foot ball fortunes, then Yale men indeed are not the Yale men of the Heffel- finger camp, and others of the bril- liant band that for generations made Yale something of a gridiron jugger- naut.

UTCH BERGMAN has laid away er: EST POINT'S defeat by Notre Dame undoubtedly has raised in Navy people a more con- fident feeling than has existed in Yyears as to the probable outcome of an Army-Navy struggle. It is easy to point out that Notre Dame gained more consistently against Navy and more yardage than against Army, but Navy remembers the score by which it defeated Notre Dame and the score by which Army lost to Notre Dame. Irrespective of any other records, that stands out in the Navy mind. ‘Then, too, Tom Hamilton, Navy coach, has continually drummed into | Navy from the start of the season that | this is Navy's year and that Army would be defeated. That has built up Navy morale. and after a long string | of defeats some such paraphrasing of “Cathago delenda est” possibly was necessary. It has been a long time from Cato to Navy foot ball, but if Navy beats Army, Navy people should not forget that Tom Hamilton's adap- tation of Cato’s psychology was not an unimportant factor.

It happened that the final of the Chevy Chase tournament and the final of the District championship this year both fell on Government pay days. Just a coincidence, but it gave Gene a reputation for puiling what the boys call a Hagen, which means being late for the final match, a maneuver supposed in some naive way to throw the opposition into a fit of sulks. Gene was 25 minutes late for the final round at that holy of golf holies—the Chevy Chase Club—but he won convincingly enough from Beverly Mason, while some folks muttered that he had him beat before he started with his dila tactics.

Md., November 27 —The program of the final preparations of Navy for its clash with Army on Franklin Field, Philadelphia, calls for one mere scrimmage to take place in Thompson Stadium this afternoon lighter practice on Wednesday and Thursday and a continuation along the same line Friday on the grounds of the Manufacturers’ Country Club in the suburbs of Philadelphia. The team will not enter Franklin Field until it does so to meet Army Saturday. but it is no stranger to hose precincts, having plaved Penn- sylvania there this season On the reports of the coaches who saw the Army-Notre Dame game Sat- urday, and of others who have scouted the West Pointers, Navy has more to fear from the powerful ends, Bill Shuler and Curley Edwards, than lfrom any other plavers among the Caglets. They greatly outweigh the pair which the Navy will start and have been playing terrifically right along.

It is pointed out that Head Coach Gar Davidson was himself an end and that. with his aides. he has done wonders with Bill Shuler and Curley Edwards, who played other line posi- tions before this season. Navy alternated its backfield com- bination with a second-string lot at practice yesterday. The latter has been formed only recently, Hamilton generally making substitutions of one or two backs at a time.

NNAPOLIS, Md., November 27.—Tecumseh, tire patron saint of the Navy, whose dignified, bronze visage frowns from a marble pedestal in front of Bancroft Hall at the Na- val Academy, has donned his war paint as his proteges prepare to meet the Army on the gridiron. The old Indian warrior is known throughout the Navy as the “god of 25" His beneficent influence is supposed to help midshipmen at- tain the 2.5 passing grade re- quired in studies. With the Navy foot ball team polishing its plays for West Point, and the middie regiment enthusi- astic for a Navy victory, the war- rior's aid was sought. With the traditional mystery of the tribesmen, the Indian respond- ed overnight to the Middies’ sup- plications.
