WASHINGTON, Oct. 6.—The an- nual football game between teams of the Naval Academy and the Military Academy Was abandoned this after- noon by agreement between the Sec- retary of the Navy and the Secretary of War. This action applies to this year's Game and may do away with the contest indefinitely. Meeting with the two Secretaries were officera repreaénting Annapolis and West Point. It has been hoped that a ten-year agreement might he reached by which ghmes might be played alternately in New York and Philadelphia.
