Service Game
Receives Due
Criticism
\cademies (Haim Management
of Polo Ground Respon
sible for Prices of
Tickets.
By lJAVIS 4. WALSH.
New York, Nov. 22.—With the ex
pected and almost coincidental ar
rival of the Army and Navy football
—«4eams in New York tomorrow morn
~ .Tbg, certain individuals, witli a
complex for whispering behind the
hand, have begun to transact busi
ness in the hotel lobbies. Somehow,
somewhere, tickets for the spectacle
have fallen into the hands of spec
ulators and many oitieens will either
' play double or triplo the box office
price for the privilege of sitting in
at the game, or they won't sit in
at all.
i For which state of affairs they ran
Maine their own natural curiosity, it
. is curiosity that annually brings
thousands of neutrals for the Army
and N'n\y game. This year, the s,.ats
number *5.000 ami the applications
some 300,000. Jt is the law of sup
!(lv and demand, as ancient as sin
itself.
The demand in this case is not al
together comprehensible. Army amt
Navy football games, h1l tooo often,
tall below the standard of play
achieved in the Big Three series and
week after week in the western con
ference meetings, to say nothing of
those played among some of the
leaders on the west coast.
Tickets High Priced.
In addition it might he mentioned
that in connection with the irnpas
■doned squawk from both academies
over allegedp rofiteerlng at local tlie
ateru on the night of the game, Army
and Navy tickets are hardly moderate
,.iri cost. Some 7,t)0n were placed on
,£Tsale to a privileged few here at a
" cost of $4 for seats in the stands and
<25 for field boxes. Tills scale is the
“ highest of the present year, or any
other.
*** the service academies contend, of
"bourse, that prices for these particu
lar seats is regulated by' the Polo
-rounds management. Just why this
diould be so Is not made clear. TKe
game belongs to the Army and Navy
out not the Polo ground manage
ment.
Academies Silent on Profit.
Further, the need for excessive
prices would seem to be obviated by
the fact that the expense of all serv
- me athletes is covered by congression
f, jll appropriation and the vast sum
“^■taken In at the gate, therefore, is
•*gust ao much “velvet.” 1'ntil recent
^jears, public announcement usually
♦ was made -that the net profits went
SLto service charities. The academies
*£liave been strangely silent on this
^•S'dnt during the last two seasons.

In a tetter to The Omaha f*ec. Me
Henry bases his claim to tin western
title as follows:
First: Crawford is the only see.,ml
team in western Nebn^ka which
Chappell lias played this season, and
therefore Chappell is not a contender

Second: Crawford does not have an
undisputed claim to the championship

in addition has challenged the Craw

challenge thus far has been Ignored
and Crawford has refused to play.
Third: Morrill is undefeated and
forever victorious both in th* state

has been defeated by an out state
team. More than this, Morrill's goal
line has not been crossed by any team
this season and it has scored a total
of 163 points to Its opponents' three.

New York. Nov. 21.—Lula Angel
Kirpn's announcement In Ruenoa
Aires I hat he refused $200,Of>0 to
light Harry Wills In America makes
the boycotting of "Tlie Brown Pan
ther of New Orleans" quite unani
mous among the so-called heavy
weight contenders.
in view of the fact that the writer
has occasionally criticized Wills for
pugilistic Inactivity, "he feels that
recent events justify a statement in
behalf of the colored man.
Within the rr/nth, Tom Gibbons,
one of the contenders. refused a
match with Wills on terms that
would have given Gibbons at least
$35,000. *
Within the moi$th. .Tack Renault
refused a match with Wills that
would have given Renault at least
the same amount. It is only fair to
Renault to add that his manager
frankly says he does not think Re
nault quite ready for a match wtlh
either Wills or Gibbons at this time.
In other words. Renault's manager
>s not yet prepared to claim rating
as a contender for the Canadian, a
candid attitude, that can scarcely be
criticized.
But Wills, through his manager,
the taciturn Paddy Mullins, quietly
acquiesced In proposal* for matches
with either Gibbons or Renault. lie
offered to meet Kir|»o time and again
when the wild bull was In America.
Moreover, Willa and Mulilna were
willing to accept very reasonable
tsrtns for any of these matches They
interposed no conditions.
T'nder the circumstances, it seems
to the writer that Willa Is entitled to
ranking, not only as the Isading
heavyweight contender, but as the
sole contender.
The other heavyweights give Wills
this ranking by refusing fo meet him.
Giblwms. Ktrpo and Renault, admit
tedly the best men below Deu psey
and Wills, can get almost as much
money for fighting \\ ills as they
could for fighting Demps y
They are perhaps all willing to
fight Dempsey, arguing that s meet
ing with Dempsey gives them a
chance at the heavyweight title But
they decline to prove tin lr right to
fight fur the title l>y meeting Wills.
Wills must be a mighty good
fighter. In the opinion of other fight
ers and their managers.
W ills for * long period was Idle.
lie i fused several offeia for
matches that would have been quite
profitable to him.
He gaid he would consider only one
match, and that match with the
heavyweight champion. HU attitude
caus'd the writer to atisp ct that
Wills doubted his own ability. The
writer now' bel’evcs that Wills took
this attitude only because he thought
It was the surest way to a matek
with Dempsey.
Filially convinced that he was not
to the match, Wills announced
that he would resume fighting. He
has appeared in the ring twice since
that announcement. The writer be*
!l«\*s that Wills stands ready to
meet any man in the world.
This belief is based on what the
writer Knows of offers that wera
recently made by Wills, of Wills’
reedy acceptance, of refusals by other
so call'd contenders to have any*
living to do with the Itnuvn Panther
of New Orleans.

annual engagement With the rival
West F*oint cadets on the Polo
grounds Saturday afternoon.
Some of the players. .* i• to in
juries, are not in the physical trim
it was hoped they wou d be, the
coaches say. I lead t’oach Kolwell
said tonight tiiat he woul 1 not be
ready to announce the final lineup
before Saturday morning
The final practice consist'd entire
ly of signals and a run through all
formations and special plays. A
brief, final work* ut nil! be h. d Fri

headquarters will be the Hotel t'oin

Folwells statement that the line
up probably would not be Mettled uti
til Saturday occasioned considerable
speculation among gridiron fans to
night. The shift in the ha* field
which com lies have announced al
j most with certainty—the plating of
Shapley at fullback, in place of little
Steve Barcbet—seems to hate won
the favor of Middy followers, espe
i tally when Ihe tenoral balance of
the team is considered, for it adds

Except for the fact that McGlone

definite1' from i. e end Spaulding,
the entire first string lineup has been

cording to Its-al opinion. Harvard is
one to outplay Yale in the big test.
