Army and Navy in
Conflict with Yale
And Harvard Game
NEW YORK, Feb. 19.-It now seems
likely that the Army-Navy game will be
played on Fmnklln field November 25
next. This' will mean a clash with the
Yale-Harvard game In the bowl at New
Haven,' and while the service authorities
do not relish this and are still trying to
avoid the conflict, no alternative date
which Is satisfactory to both Institutions
has been named. The date now In mind
la the Saturday before Thanksgiving day.
The Quakers had Intended to arrange a
game for that time, but the fact that this
idea appears to have been dropped may
be regarded as an indication that the
Army and Navy have approached a def
inite agreement conoemlng November 26.
George E. Nltxsche, recorder of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania, is conducting
negotiations with the two academies for
the use of the field, and believes that
matter relating to the (ram will have
been concluded by next week. After the
1915 game at the Polo Grounds It was inti
mated that the Navy might agree to a
readjustment of the agreement which
called for the playing of the 1918 contest
at Philadelphia, but It Is now understood
that talk of this nature waa not at all
official.

suddenly, looking wistfully to the south.
One of the members of the team asked
him the cause, and he replied: "I'm
thinking of the kid at home, and wish
I were there." Someone said, "You're
getting sentimental, Charley," and he re
plied. "Well, when the kid said, 'Daddy,
I don't like Mr. Stalling.' and then
added, "It's because he keera you away
from us,' then I thought It about time
