Although the game lacked the close

Army-Navy battles of other years, it
furnished the splendid scenic picture

Colors of the competing academies

of both the army and navy followed
every cue given by the chervring squads
of sailors and soldiers, the long oval
shaped stand surrounding the field
was constantly a ripple with the hues
of either West Point or Annapolis.
The touch of milltsrlsm given by the

Uncle Sam, before and after the game,
set the hearts of thousands aflutter.

the spirit of the occasion, preparing a
perfect Indian summer afternoon.
Trials Apiece.
The hall scarcely had been put in
play when it became evident the mid
dles could not stop the smashing at
tack of their rivals. Each team in turn
tried out the opponents' defense, but
at Ural there was no continuity in the
play of either eleven. As a result punt
ing was resorted to and the army's first
score came ns a result of these ex
changes. Coffin kicked f rom the ca
det’s 40-yard line and the hall rolled
to tlse navy's 5-yard line, where Blod
gett fell on 11. His attempt to punt
from from behind his own goal line
was Itlocked and he fell on the ball for
a safidy.
The second period opened with the
ball In possession of the middles. They
could rriHke little progress through or
or around the army line. The army
gained on every exchange of punts
and when Blodgett fumbled one of
Coffin's kicks, Merrltat fell on the ball
on the navy's 15-yard line Anuy se
cured Its first touchdown when Pritch
ard made a perfect forward pass to
Merrilat, who ran across the line with
out opposition. The try for goal
failed.
Beeond Touchdown.
The (second touchdown was made' on
a repet ft it lon of the plays. The Navy
kicked off and Army returned the
punt. Blodgett again fumbled and
again an alert cadet player fell on the
ball on middles' Sfi-yard mark. I.lne
plunges falling to gain, Prlehard shot
the ball overhead to Merrilat, who wits
downed on the Navy’s 1-yard line.
Hodgson plunged over for a touch
down. Me Ewan failed to kick goal.
The middies fought desperately In
the third period end although they
never threatened the Army goal, they
kept their own reasoahly sale.
In the final quarter a punting duel
quickly developed, the array working
the hall within striking distance of
the middles’ goal. The soldiers un
covered an old-fashioned attack which
proved Irresistible, By short line
plungws and end runs the hall was
carried a few yards at a time. Then
Quarterback Prichard switched his
tactics and made a forward pass to
Merrilat, who crossed the last 5-yard
line before he waa downed. From hero
Benedict carried the leather over in
two plunges. Again the At my failed
at goal.
Series Stands Tie.
An a result of today’s victory the
Army-Navy series which began In
lti9o, stands a tie. Euc'n academy has
won nine games of the nineteen played
The 1905 contest ended with the score
6 to C.
The result today also rounded out a
triumphant season for »4ie Army, which
now IhKps its place as omo of the very
eastern Institutions to complete the
1914 campaign without being either
defeated or tied.
Much of the Army's superiority wns
due to Its heavy and veteran squad of
players. The soldiers outshone the
sailors tn every defiartment except In

fighting splrlty. Here the honors were
[even, for the Navy fought dcaper; tely
and to the extreme limit of ability.
This spirit reaulted in several penal
ties and a number of minor bruises.
The Navy officers deny,, however, that
their center, Perry, was guilty of the
rough play for which he, was ordered
out of the. game and the middies penal
ized half the distance to the goal lino
in the second period.
Interference.
The Interference accorded the Army
runners was quickly formed and dead
ly In its effectiveness. Prichard’s gen
eralship at quarter was excellent and
his forward passing short and sharp,
with Merrilat, as a rule, on the receiv
ing end. In punting the various Army
harks worked well In conjunction with
their ends. It was the fast covering of
these kicks that made the sailors fum
ble at critical times.
The Navy's passing was ragged.
When the middles tried forward passes
there appeared to he little co-operation
between the thrower and the intended
catcher. Many forward passes overshot
their wark.
Harvard-Yale Reminder.
In many respects the play of the two
teams brought to mind the Harvard-
Yale game of a week ago. The Army
had the finished team while the bright
spots In the Navy play was the work
of certain Individual midshipmen.
Captain Overesch at leftend; Quarter
hack Miles and Halfbacks Craig and
Hurlhurt all figured prominently for
the Navy.
Captain Prlehard and Merrilat, be
cause of their perfect work on forward
passes, were the Army stars. McEwan,
at center, was a tower of defense Hr
the line. Hodgson was the best, of the
secondary line In this respect.

The Starred Heart eleven will dash
with the Waynesboro machine In that

the season, and, Incidentally the last,
as the season has come to a close.
The 8. 11. C. team Is composed of
some of the best "scrub” players In
this section. The A. It C. second ag

in three games and the collegians have
come off victorious in two of the con
tests.
ltecontly the cadet second team Jour

the game of Wednesday with 8. H.
C. will not he a cinch for the locals,
for the simple reason that Coach. Cliff
Hatcher, one of tlin host coaches that
Georgia ever turned out, lias recently
taken charge and has been training
the enemy hard. He hud them in hand
but a few days Just prior to the clash
with A. R. C. and the form shown In
that Knmc was exceedingly promising.
Therefore, taking It all In all, It’s go

sides, the best team coming off win

BASEBALL CLUB
Tentative Plans For a Better
Grand Stand. A Few Thoughts
in Regard to That “Dinky”
Club House.
In an Interview yesterday afternoon
with President Kalbflelsch of the Au
gusta Baseball Association it was
stated that up to the present time
things had been carried Just as far
as possible In the local baseball world,
In regard to the future team, and
there now remains very few matters
to attend to before the opening of the
1915 South Atlantic League season.
Only tentative plans have been ar
ranged for the anticipated “big
league” grandstand which it Is hoped
the, local park will sport In the “here
after”—starting, of course, next year.
It is proposed to have a much larger
stand, more comfortable seats—and ol
the variety that the fans will not have
to find the "soft” side of, as they have
always been compelled to do in the
past. They will be cushioned.
A Public Institution.
It takes money to do these things.
However, It Is thought, now that the
fatis are assured of real baseball, that
there will be little trouble In this line.
For once the club gets started it will
he self-sustaining—ln fact, a public
Institution.
It is not known whether there will
be new club houses or not. That lit
tle dinky box that is now used as one
has long ago been outgrown and,
therefore, s ine thought should be giv
en to it. The public can't expect to
have a winning ball club if the play
ers are going to he stuck in a club
house many times too small for them.
(Jp-to-Date Club House.
Install a roomy club house, with
plenty of exercisers In It and there
will be all the difference in the world
In the team. There is nothing like
keeping a ball player in trim. There
iH also another thing that should be
corrocted while this other work Is go
ing on, for It has been noticed not only
by the writer of this article but by
most nil of the fans, that the shower
for the players Is situated just on the
outside of the club rooms.
Every player should take a shower
after the game.
Put that shower on the Inside and
it will produce better results.
BRITON WINS WORLD’S

Speaking
... THE...
Public Mind
Uilng “Hard Times” Merely as a
Pretext.
To The Herald:
As a collector I wish to enter my pro
test at the manner in which people are
refusing to pay debts and assigning the
■'hatd times’’ as the reason. Where a
man holds a position that pays as much
as It ever did, wrhat light has he to
cry hard times, and refuse to pay up?
In fact, he ought to be better off than
any one else because he can take ad
vantage of the cheup articles that the
merchants advertise. 1 believe that you
ran buy clothing and other necessary
nrttrle* cheaper this winter than you
could last, and if you show a disposi
tion to pay cash the percent of reduc
tion will be very large.
There may be a few Instances where
people have suffered salary reductions
but these are few and far between.
Then. too. some have lost positions be
cause of the war and we do not ex
pect them to pay when they are out of
work, but the average man on a salary
has no right whatever to claim hard
times. Of course, people who are In
business for themselves may be In
bard lines In some cases because they
ore having trouble collecting what Is
due them and are not selling in tho
quantities that they sold last year, but
the man on a salary is different. A
few garnishments would teach many of
them a good lesson. F. A. W.
LATEST KILLED IN
BATTLE, TWO WELL
KNOWN ATHLETES
London. —The latest list of British
killed contains the names of two well
known athletes, G. K. L. Anderson', a
hurdler, and Lieutenant A. K. J. Col
lins. a cricket player.
Anderson was twice English ama
teur champion at both high and low
hurdles. He broke hurdling records
at both Eton and Oxford and ran for
England at the Stockholm Olympio
games, where he was defeated by the
American, J. J. Eller, Jr.
Lieutenant Collins, while at Clifton
College, made the highest Individual
cricket score on record. He scored
628 net out. In innings lasting six
hours and fifty minutes.
