er ior Today’s Army~Navv
contest in New York I
NEW YORK. Nov. 29.~The lineup
of outstanding features which attend~
ed the staging of the Army-Navy i’oot-
ball game in New York city for the
first time was epitomized as follows:
Weather—«Rain forecast othcially.
Some rain fell during the night. but ‘
not enough to'aifect the field, which
was protected with a. straw covering
and only a downpour at the last mo‘
ment could make playing conditions al‘
together intolerable.
The scenew’l‘he New York National
League Baseball stadium. on the mend-
ow of the Polo Grounds, near the up-
per extremity oi‘ Manhattan island.
where the modern horse shoe grand
stand of steel and concrete and the
ordinary baseball bleachers were rein-
forced by temporary-stands almost
completely enclosing the gridiron.
The crowds~—Provision made for 42,”
000 spectators, with nearly every tick-
et sold. the largest crowd that ever
witnessed an ArmyNnvy game.
The tickets—4Reguiariy priced at $3
each, tickets sold yesterday as high as
$25 apiece. but speculators who had
any left this morning were letting
them go as low as $10 apiece. or $15
for two. the slump being due in great
part to the threatening rain.
Distinguished boxholdcrs-The l’res~
ident of the United States, whose in~
terest in the game brought him from
Washington last night along with the
hundreds of other enthusiasts in ad
mlnistrative circles. and Army and
Navy branches of the government. in«
eluding almost all of the generals and
admit-dis in the service. and a host of
pretty maids and lustrous from the
capital. Ofilcial Washington, Annapo-
iis and West Point were all virtually
transferred to the metropolis for a
football holiday.
The favorites-~0n paper the mid-
shipinen were credited with marked
superiority over the Army cadets this
season and history records Navy vic~
tories in nine ol’ the seventeen for—
mer games between the two schools.
,u‘iih a string of three Navy victories
during the past three years. ()n the
morning of the contest. however. a
few football critics in New York as-
scrtcd that the Army eleven had it
good chance to win. and that in any
(went, u been battle was assured.
The bettingx-vtldds prevailing for it
woe). post at to to 7 in favor of the
Navy were reported as ruling even
higher today, with confident Navy men
freely oilcrini: ‘3 to l at which ratio
Army men were eager to indulge.
The camps »»»»» The rival sounds. with
forty in the Army list and thirty-
three in the Navy, were ulturtorcd at
