The superiority of the cadets was as marked as the score Indicates. Once the powerful army machine started Its msrch for Iho In itial touchdown tlio ultimate outcome never was In doubt. The .midshipmen were outplayed and outclassed in every department ami hut for their splendid fighting spirit In the face of certain defeat the score would have been even larger. Although the game lacked the close ness and thrill that has featured Army-Navy battles of other years, it furnished the splendid scenic picture which distinguishes It from all other games of the season. 33,000 Spectators. The University of Pennsylvania ath letic amphitheater was thronged with 23,00(1 a pectator* Every available font of splice in both permanent and temporary stands was occupied. The Colors of the competing academies wore everywhere and, as supporters 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 uniformed anil marching wards of Uncle Sam, before and after the game, set the hearts of thousands aflutter.

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 BUYING EARLY More than doubles the pleasure of gift giving. 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.

EUMTBIS 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 SPRINTING CHAMPIONSHIP Manchester, England.—W. R. Ap plegrath today wrested tho world's 100 yards professional championship from Jack Donaldson, of South Africa, for several years the world's cham pion professional sprinter. Apple grath who wns the British amateur champion sprinter and became a pro fessional a few months ago won the race by six Inches. There was a side bet of £2OO (SI,OOOI. 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.
