There's nothing slow about merry in anticipation of another glor- fous victory like chat of last year, tnerited the good old stock phrase that all competent writers use on this occasion—especially Philadelphia writers. The Walton was a “blaze of color and sound.” You could pick it out a block away. Inside the hotel the corridors and the lobby were crowded with Navy people. The admirals and commodores Hove’ ey and captains and lieutenants were not in uniform, with few exceptions, but there was color everywhere, big navy flags and little navy pennants of blue and gold, and fair navy wives, daugh- ters and sweethearts in all sorts of chades and tints. Moreover, there was the Navy mas- cot, Billy.

Idke Princeton, neither Army or Navy has met defeat through- out the present football year. In ali of the games played the Navy has scored 13 points to opponents’ 11, and the Army 8 to opponents’ 8. The Navy played eight games, won five and tied in three. The Army played feven, won six and tied in one, The Navy's best performance this year, per- haps, was in the game with Penn State. ‘The latter college had beaten U. of P. and had developed the strongest team in its history, Because of the nearness of the game with the Army, Annapolis put practically a second eleven against Penn State and held her rival down to & 0-4 score. aight Capt.
