After seeing the masterly way the Clem- mui team played hall, the wonder Ih that Georgia lout to them hy only C point* to 0; that I>nvldnon held them to a 0 to 0 tie, and that they won from Aulmrn by po meaner n score nn 6 to 4. An the Cleinaon team atanda today, It Ih about the equal of any In the Houth, bar ring Vanderbilt and probably Hewnnco. Certain It Is that the South Carolina Tl gera would not rank far. If any, behind the Tennessee Tigers. WHAT EXPERTS THINK. There were n variety of opinions about why Cleinson won. ••Bronchi*’* Armstrong, the niuplre, said: "The Tech players do not seem to ho quite t*u edge. After play had progressed a few minutes lu each half they were plainly tired. Cleirson outrushed them.” Henry l'hllllpa, tho referee, made only one comment, and It was. "Outplayed." Coach llelsmnn nald: "They had older, heavier players, ami they played with what Mcemed to me almost unnecessary rough nesa.” Coach Williams* comment was: "Wo played better fiMithall. 1 think. If we bad had any reasonable distances to galu, lu place of the absurd lu yards, wo would have won with all ease." Bolt Patterson, couch and teacher at floor- gin Military academy, and ex-Vanderbilt center, summed It up very nicety when he said: Too much speed and loo much Der rick and Furtlek.” Apparently (Meinaon had the better of Tech by a shade In almost every depart ment of the game, save, |>erhaps, kicking. The Clemaon Hue, while It did not open *up an.v big holes, was aide to prevent the Tech linesmen from doing It. Thu Cleinson l*acks were heavier and stronger men. Fur- lick, Allen ami Derrick hud every advantage la at»e and weight over Hightower, l»a- vl#a and Adamson. The Clemaon back a I started fnst, drove hard Into the line ami j around ends, ami had a marvelous faculty j of keeping their feet nud plowing along j wltb the or six Tech men elltiglng to them. Besides that. Tech had no man who l*e called to run from Ids positlou lu the line and mnkc the galus that McLatirln did. This man was one of the stars of the game, and Is probably the beat man and the nearest to an All Houthern player that Coach Williams baa. Wltb this much on the reasons for €.'lamson‘s superiority. It might be worth while telling briefly how tho touchdowns were made. HOW 8C0RE8 WERE MADE. The game opened with the usual perfunc tory exchange of kick-off nud punts and Are minutes of piny found the ball In Clem- son’s possession with 4<) yards between It and the desired goal Hue. McLaurln was railed ou nml carried the ball nt»out thirty yards. On the Tech ten-yard Hun Tech tried to make a atund. but McFaddcu. Clomaon’a quarter, took the ball, rau his required flv« yards out from the renter, located n Iarg< hole lu the Tech defense and filtered right through the middle of It for a touchdowu. The attempt at goal failed aud there was no more scoring until the second half. The second touchdown was made like * many of them under the new rules, aud was due to the on-side kick rub*. When the second half opened Tech kicked off and Clemson, after attempting fruit l«*Mily to run tin* hull hack, was forced to punt. Tech’s at tempt nt a forward pass at this point failed, and ns the hall hit the ground without being touched hy plajcr* of cither side. It went over to the Kmiili Caro lina aggregation. Itlght nt thin puiut the crash came. Clem- sou punted the hull from about mid field for forty yards or so. right down almost to the goal line Tech was defending.

Philadelphia, Pa., Nov. 30.—In finest fettle and eager for the fray, the f*H»t- ball elevens of tile Annapolis and West Point academies huve arrived In Philadelphia, ready for their unnual game tomorrow on Franklin field. Ex tra stands have been erected on tho field and all other preparations for the contest have been completed. More than 30,000 scats huve been disposed of. and the usual crowd of distinguished officers of tho army and navy is ex pected to he at the game. The secre tary of war und the secretary of the iivy are expected at the game, along lth numerous other officials of the jveral departments of the Federal government. Most of these will arrlv< In special trains from Washington and New York tomorrow. Hecause nf the excellent showing it has made this year against Yale and other star teams, the West Point eleven Is naturally a decided favorite in to morrow's contest, though the sailor hoys from the naval academy ' ure counted upon to put up a game strug gle for the honors. The contest tomorrow will be the twelfth between the football teams of tho two academies. The navy has won four and the army six. Last year they •dayed a tie game. The first game between the two government institutions was played at West Point on the Halurday after Thanksgiving, 1890. In that game the wearers of the black and gray, cap tained by William Mlclllc, received a severe drubbing at the hands of the navy by the use of the famous "Hying wedge," which caused such an Inter esting crusade to be made by the mem bers of the w. T. r. and H. P. (’. A. -igalnst the "brutal sport." and which was Inter barred by the rules commu te**. The score on that occasion was -4 to 0. The return game was played on the navy’s grounds, on November 30 of tho following year, before the (for those days) very large' crowd of 3.0oa, and resulted In the army retrieving Its former defeat to the tune of 32 to 16. For the third game of the series the navy again traveled up tho Hudson, and although the army team out weighed them seven pounds to the man, the contest resulted In a 12 to 4 victory for the sailor boys. The army went to Annapolis on De cember 3, 1893, entirely confident of Its ability to carry a victory bafck to West Point. It returned, however, with such heart-breaking figures .as nuvy 4, army 4. The games were then discontinued until December 2. 1899, when the Uni versity of Pennsylvania first enter tained "tho nation's heroes" on Frank lin Held. The navy could not-stop the fierce plunges of the army backs, who were determined, and who succeeded In wiping out the stain of tho defeat of 1893—17 to f*. On December 1, 1900, the navy was again the victor, the final score being navy 11, army 7. It was ut Franklin field on Novem ber 30, 1901, that tho blue and gold first met the famous Daly, who started the army’s scoring hy placing a beau tiful drop from the field squarely be hind tho goal posts near the end of the first half and literally kept the ball, rolling until at the close of the game the score stood army 11, navy 5. At the contest of 1902, which took place on November 28, the first of the army’s big scores was plied up and the middles returned to Annapolis to dreum of army 22, navy 8. Exactly one year to tho day and dato the soldier boys rubbed It In on tho nuvy to the mournful tune of 40 to 5, and the midshipmen went buck deter mined to do or die in their next at tempt. # With this determination strong upon them, they came to Philadelphia two; years ago. and by one of the gamest j tights ever watched by a phenomenal i crowd they fought their heavy oppo-1 nents all over the field, and by nn al most superhuman effort kept the fig ures down to army 11, navy 0.
