By DAMON RUNYON. N EW YORK, Nov. 29.—“Bill,” the Navy goat, bleats plaint ively up and down the side lines in his goatlike way. lie is very inad. He has no part in the wild tumult that is surging up and down the Polo Grounds in the thin mist of a cold winter evening. He has no ears for the shrill triumphant shrieks that rend the damp air, for they have a most unfamiliar sound to him. He is the saddest and most, forlorn critter that ever nib- hied a blade of grass, is “Bill,” the Navy goat, this night. “Bill” cannot read, or he would behave with more discre tion. He would take to his heels forthwith, for the Army is very fond of goat stew, and they esteem themselves the owners of any and all goatN belonging to the Navy, as witness the language of the score board, which says: Army, 22; Navy, 9. Up yonder in the north bleach er is a great blaze of yellow banners, once sweeping back and forth like a rolling flame, but now drooping listlessly in the hands of a horde of sorrowful voting midshipmen who sit dumb ly silent listening to the taunts of 600 gray uni form ed Army of ficers-to-be, who are lined up in front of the deep sea lads. They have to sit and listen. Their impulse no doubt is to rush and continue the battle just ended on the gridiron in rough and tumble style, but they must sit there an dtake their medicine. Such is the rule. Naturally they are not happy. They had fondly anticipated doing; to the Army what the Army was doing to *them. They are e lot sadder than "Bill.” for "Bill" merely reflects their mood without knowing exactly what he ia sail about. They are sad about the 22 to 9. Oh what a fall wav this, my coun trymen! The Sailors had come to New Ynr* to moo their undefeated team knock the very daylights out of the Army, these Midshipmen had. They had made preparation* for some such jufil iation as the Army was now pulling; off, only on a more elaborate and more colorful scale They had intend ed teaching the poor Weft Pointers a lesson that wonld sink and laart, and now see what had happened. No wonder they were and, and no wondu* •'Bill" was sad Cadet* Crazed With Joy. The old Polo Grounds has been the scene of many a bitter battle of an other kind in time* gone by, and the scene of toianv a mad Jubilation in ihe moment of victory, but nothing like that closing riot of to-day has ever boen seen there before. The Army boys Just naturally up and kissed one another. They may feel somewhat abashed over fhe action now, but at he time it seemed the only proper fhlng to do. You can not take It all out in yelling. •'Babe” Brown, a hooded young giant of the Navy, did his best to •tave off the Army. He kicked three field goals. Angela coud do no more. This game was unique In a football way In that two forward passes went through for the Army They were both executed in the same manner, on an end skipping behind the goal and taking the pass in the Navy** terri tory as the ball came twisting over the line of scrimmage. It was a mad, spectacular flnlah to the football sea son of 1913. The President of the United States was there, along with 45,000 other person*, but the President of the United States was not especially hap py. President Can't Root. Some tradition of myth, such a* the Monroe Doctrine, commands that the President maintain a strictly neu tral attitude at contests between the Army and the Navy. He is about the only person present who can not get up and emit a two-lunged, i*>p-ey*'d screech when one side or the other makes a brilliant play. He must sit supinely by and smile, and smile, and smile again; but be none the legs noncommittal. Wherefore Woodrow Wilson sat and smiled to-day. He Is a Princeton man at heart, but there must have been moments when he greatly desired to yell in a most undignified manner this afternoon. For Instance, there was that mo ment when round the Navy’s left end full tilt came Merriilat, of the Armv, the football tucked under his arm and the light cavalry of the Army leaping along his flank* and shielding him from the lunges of the heavy- footed Navy men. MerTlIlat had reached f he Navy 5-vard line before they cut him down. Then the Army crowded the ball over for a touch down. The score had been a tie when Mer- rillat went tearing down the field, and that wonderful dash seemed to break the Navy's heart. President Wilson first sot and smiled 1n a box on the upper tier of the south side of the field wheTe he could feel the floor trembling beneath his feet under the steady throb of Army yells. There is no record of hla arising from his chair and screaming in his emotion in common with the untrammeled voters, but he must have felt a strange stirring in his Presidential bosom nevertheless. President Changes Side*. Between* the halves he issued from his box and moved across the green field, flanked by majestic members of the Secret Service who wore a lane through the crowd that had leaked out of the stands to get a close view of the President when they could have seen him much bet tor by sitting still. The Arms Oft dets roared a greeting at him as he left their side and tried to Identify his attendants without the usual re spect for dignity. "I see Billy Bryan." howled one ir reverent young man who will one day demand deep reverence from a private soldier ‘‘T see Billy Bryan! Hooray for Billy Bryan!" It was not his fault that he failed to arouse any demonstration from the warlike Army for the peaceful Secretory of State, for it was really William J. As the President wended his way acroKO the field a mild-looking fig ure in a black overcoat with Presi dential steam Issuing from his nos trils and floating behind him on the ambient and, exceedingly chilly at mosphere, the Navy side underwent a violent eruption of yellow flags.

A Most Wonderful Crowd. There was probably never before »uch an assemblage at a sporting event In this land of the free and rhe home of th** brave. There never was before such an assemblage be- eause they never had such a place to assemble in. Under normal condi tions the Polo Grounds, so called be cause they never played polo there, will seat about 38,000. It 1s very easy to believe that there were 45,000 per sons present at the game to-day, and it is even easier to believe that they were mostly prominent person* be cause they seemed to be conscious of the fact. It would have been impossible to stand at a point where second base used to be and shy a rock Inward to any point of tbe compass without hitting some prominent person, prob ably a Government officeholder.

Indiana Colleges in Big Athletic Meet BLOOMINGTON, IND., Nov. 29.— No longer will be track supremacy of Indiana, Purdue and Notre Dame have to be figures on paper, for. by an agreement made public by Ath letic Director Berndt, of Indiana, the three leading universities of the State will meet on the track next spring at Lafayette. All the other colleges in the State will be asked to participate in the contest. The meet will be heltf under conference rules, which means that freshmen will be barred. Indiana and Purdue have not met Notre Dame in any form of athletics for several years. It is believed by those close to the situation that the organization of a State league is the first step toward the competing of tbe three large schools of the State in other branch es of sport. By Charley Brickley. C AMBRIDGE, MASS., Nov. 27.—It Is rather hard for me to remember when I first started practicing drop kicking. It seems as though f started as soon as I was big enough to lift a football. This season just past completed my eighth year of football. I started in Everett High School in 1906, spending four years there, one at Exeter Academy and three so far at Harvard. I wrs 14 years old when I started high school, but I must have started drop kicking at least two year* before that. Drop kicking has always held a great fascination over me. T simply love to do it and enjoy practicing drop kicking more than any other one thing in football. Whenever I have been able to get my hands on a football I have always practiced drop kicking, working at all times to attain as nearly perfect a form as possible. Throughout my high school days and at Exeter and even during my freshman year at Harvard I received very little coaching at drop kicking. During tills time, however, I had fairly good success with my kicks, but was very erratic. For instance, in the Princeton freshman game I got four field goals and two weeks later against Yale "1915” I missed four chances, two of which were comparatively easy. But when I came out for the varsity, Charley, Daly, who is now coach ing W T est Point, took me under his charge and insisted that I kick in good form. He said I -must get my kick away fast and accurately, and that the distance would come later. Percy Haughton drilled me on the mental part of the kick and between the two of them they spent much time working with me. Charley Daly had not forgotten his old-time form and we would often have competition during practice. This year I did not have Charley Daly to help me, bnt “Vic” Kennard, the man who scored the four points against Yale in 190S, came to Cambridge as often as he could to help Eddie Mahan, Mai Logan and myself in drop kicking. Kennard has wonderful form and gets his kicks away faster than any one I have ever seen. It seems as though the ball scarcely touches his hands before it hits the ground and is on the way to the goal post, Thus whatever I may have accomplished in drop kicking has been due to the expert coaching which I have received. But I have lots to learn yet, and intend to keep working away in order to overcome some of my faults by next year. It is a question of practice, constant practice. As I have still another year to play I would rather not mention any of the peculiarities of my kicking. Coach Warner Picks All-Time Indian Football Eleven CARLISLE, PA., Nov. 29.—As a football innovation th© all-time se lections made by the competent au thorities are becoming; popular and, withal, interesting-. Coach,Glenn S. Warner, of the Car lisle Indian School, having been asked to name an All-Time Carlisle team, made the following selection: Ends—Albert Exendine, Edward Rodgers; tackles—Martin "Wheelock, Emil Wauseka: guards — Bemis Pierce, Charles U’llon; center—Wil liam Garlow; larterback—James Johnson; halfbacks—James Thorpe, Joseph Guyon; fullback — Peter Houser. In estimating qualifications Warner gave preference to uniform heady play. For Exendine and Rodgers there were the especial qualities of ideal speed, build and weight. Both tackles were magnificent specimens of manhood and used their brains to advantage. The huge, intelligently-handled bulk of Pierce and the genius of Dil lon for interference were specified by the great coach: Garlow’s steadiness in passing and all-round defensive and offensive work names him. Of all American quarterbacks, Jim mie Johnson is thought to have been the greatest. His masterful leader ship, strategic ability and physical prowess were wonderful. Thorp© needs no comment. Guyon, consid ering his inexperience, is little short ,of a marvel. For fullback, Warner said that in all fairness the palm would have to go to Peter Houser.
