NAVY TEAM IS TO
PLAY PENN FIRST
TIME SINCE 1902
Midshipmen of Annapolis
Will Tackle Husky Local
Eleven Tomorrow After
noon at Franklin Field.
By EDWARD H. BUSHNELL
It has been so Ions since I'cnnsylvnnln
haa played the Navy that their coming to
Franklin Field tomorrow will bo an event
quite ns Important ns the formation of a
new collcslate alliance. And If all th-3
plans for an Army-Navy Bamo fall, this
contest will be the nearest approach to
It for Philadelphia.
Pennsylvania and the Navy haven't met
en tho gridiron since 1902, and that year,
s the year before, the Middles won. All
told, there have been seven sanies In the
crles, the Quakers n inning all but thv
last two. The first game on record be
tween the two was plajed In 1SSS, when
Pennsylvania won, CO to 9. In 18D2. Penu-
eylvanla won by the score of 1G to 0. In
HD3, tho Middles were swnmped, 31-v,
while Pennsylvania's great team of 1S3I
could beat tho sailors only 12-0.
No more games were played until 10CO.
when a new scries was started because
of the part Pennsylvania had played In
ecurlng the revival of tho games be
tween the Army and Navy. That year
the nod and Blue won by the fcoro of
iS to 0. Hut the next two hcason3 wcro
lean years for Pennsylvania, and tho Mid
dles won both contests. Tho 1001 same
ns very close, B to 5, only a Koal from
touchdown separating tho two. Tho next
jear witnessed a close game also, but tht
Navy won, 10 to 6.
All these games were played at Annapo
lis, for In those days the Middles were
not allowed to play away fiom home, ex
cept when they met the Army. Within
the last few years tho Navy, and the
Armv, too, have been cut from tho sched
ules of the big college teams. There were
two reasons for this). First, tho games
had to bo played on the Navy's own Held,
and since the midshipmen could not charge
admission they could not divide receipts,
nor could they pay a guarantee unless thts
Mlddiea paid It out of their own pockets,
and, of course, no college would accept
anything under such circumstances.
Gradually the big colleges found It In
convenient to play under such financial
conditions, nnd one after another declined
to schedule further games.
The second reason for not playing the
Middies was that tho sailors nlaved such
PFFIRY,
CZATT&?
Atr&HFLL.,

l.Fr r?Gf.
vigorous football at mldseasou that they
hook me Dig elevens up badly and fre
quently beat them. West Point suffered
the same fate as Annapolis, and all their
biff opponents have gradually been side
stepping them until now Pennsylvania Is
the only big university that gives a same
to either school.
This year's game with the Navy Is dls
tlngiilshed not only because It Is the first
jramti between the two In 12 years, hut
because it will be tho first time the Mid
uies have ever played another college
team away from Annapolis. It was made
possible hv nn act of Congress, which
Permits the Navy to play two games
?.T'lty.ufromLnonle' lne supposition being
mat the other game was to be with the
Armv Pennsylvania and the Navy have
iigncd a two-year contract which pro
vides that next year the Quakers shall
Piy at Annapolis.
r.nJ? nV certal" " the Quakers
t?J ? . .StaU ,he,r sroSest line-up
against the Navy. In the first place they
will be without the services of nuarter
back Ballon, who has hail to quit the
i earn There Is grave doubt about the
ll "y-f N'orwald to start at center,
nnu there Isn't a first-class substitute for
his -position. The bachflcli is likely to
"e up to tho mark because Tucker, who
was hurt In the Lafayette game, hasn't
oeen able to take part In scrimmage all
week, while both Moffet and Matthews
who are fighting it out for the one half.
Back position are not In good condition.
ANNAPOLIS, Md., Oct. 16. -The real
work of preparation for the game against
the Inlversity of Pennsylvania team on
Iranklln Field tomorrow ended with the
scrimmage yesterday, though there will
bo signal work and practice of various
details this afternoon here and tomorrow
morning on Franklin Field. The whole
Navy contingent is deeply Interested In
the game and confident that the team
will give a good account of Itself. It la
admitted that In some particulars the
team is not so strong as In recent years,
but more attention has been given to
certain important lines of play, and the
Navy attack Is stronger than It was last
Jear In the line there are several
places which are Inclined to be weak.
Judging by the two matches already
The Naval Academy has relied almost
entirely upon Navy coaching this year,
a depirture from the practice of a score
of years. The only exception Is "Jack"
Catts, the old Yale player, who comw
to Annapolti, twice a week from Balti
more, where- he practices law
Cites wag fornerly field coach of the
isavy team, and has become thoroughly
aenuned with Navy athletics It is also
to the line .smashing game, but also
makes great use of the forward pass nnd
other nlnys of the new football, while
It has severnl changes In backs,
who are fast cnougli to be successful end
runners. Thn bnckflold nt the beginning
of tho game will bo Mitchell quarterback;
Fnlllng nnd Illodgctt, halfbacks; N. Har
rison, fullback. All of these, except
Mitchell, weigh in the neighborhood of
IV) pounds, nnd aro experienced men.
They nre capable of giving nn opposing
line a terrible pounding, and thor aro plenty
of gool substitutes to keep the gnme
Rolng nt n fast clip. Both Blodgett and
Falling are rangy follows, and their
height counts on the defense against for
ward passes. Tho team men nre looking
forward with great Interest to tho trip.
Mich things being rare nt tho Naval
Academy, nnd feel that they have an oven
chance of victory.
With the same pomp nnd display of
enthusiasm as would have been given
the regular annual Army-Navy football
game, many distinguished Oovernment
oiricluls from Wnshlngtnn and Philadel
phia, accompanied by their wives and
friends, will attend tho Ponn-Navy con
test at Franklin Field Saturday after
noon. Tho Philadelphia Navy Tard will espe
cially be well ropresente.-J. Commandant
William S. Benson, Lieutenant Com
mander Hunt, aid to tho commandnnt;
Bear Admiral James SI. Helm, com
riander of tho Atlantic Reserve Fleet;
Hear Admiral Win. B. Caperton, who was
recently placed In command of the nowly

heavy flour sales to outside countries.
James A. Patten says prices In this
country arc too high to cause an active
buying movement ol the cash article.
Actual shipments from Argentina for

Yesterday'!
The most Important news In Stock
Exchange circles today was the stale,
ment by one of the best Informed mem
bers that nt the beginning of this week
nil the New York clearing house banks
were nbove their reserve requirements',
the bank deficits having been wiped out.
The trust companies were the only In
stitutions which started the week show
ing deficits.
This week's movement of money shows
a gain of close to 110,000,0 by the New
York banks after deducting the W.SCO.OOO
shipped to Canada yesterday.
About half a million call money wns
loaned at 7 per cent, at the New York
Clearing House under the offer made
through the Stock Exchange by the
First Nntlonal Bank. Ihc borrowers using
the money to pay off standing loans
hlch had been called.
Tho Impression prevails among lending
members, conversant with the banking
situation, thnt a furlher reduction will
be made next week to 6 per cent., but It
Is asserted that there will be no more de
mand nt 6 than there Is nt 7 per cent,
nnd that a further lowering of tho rate
is certain.
Brokers who made a specialty of lend
ing call money while the exchnnge vn
open, say that Instead of an avalanche
of stocks we will soon have an ava
lanche of money. They do not consider
thnt a favorable business Indication, hut
Instead ns evldonce of general mercan
tile stagnation which always results In
the piling up of Idle funds.
London cables this morr.lng tell of n
Htronger tone In that market with brisk
trading. About 700,000 pounds sterling
were pnld on account of deferred Interest
on loans by stock exchange members.
There Is no such Item to meet here, as
interest charges on loans must be settled
on tho first day of c-nch month.
British Financier Says Lon
don Will Resume WitH
Expiration of Moratorium.
New York Will Follow.
Prediction that the Now York Stock Ex
change would open In three weeks wnsj
made today by Sir George rnlsh,
former editor of the Statist nnd present
ndvlsrr to the British Treasury, who iiv
rlved In New York on the steamship
Baltic.
"Tho moratorium In Groat Britain will
expire In Hire" weeks, nt which time ti
London Stock Exchange will open for
iniBlness." said Sir George. "This means
a reopening of the New York Stock Ex
chnnge nnd the rapid return of business
hath In England nnd tho United Stales tor
n condition approaching normal."
Sir George etlmated thnt JM0.0O1.0iW ln
gold would Dow out of this country fol
lowing the opening of the Stock Ex
changes.
Sir Georgo said that he estimated
roughly thnt there were between i,"00,XJ
pounds and 50,000,000 pounds sterling duet
In Englnnd from America. When he was
neked whether England would Insist on
gold payments, he said:
"You, a great wealthy nation, are jus
ns anxious to pay your debts as we are
to havo you pay them. Your cotton ex
ports. In normal times, would pay thf
large balance against you.
"The cotton situation Is therefore oni
of the Important matters that I wish tj
take up here. We feel that this sltua
tlon will quickly straighten Itself Thai
reopening of the Liverpool Exchange,
will, of course, depend upon New York
nnd New Orleans. We expect Voun
mnrket soon to bo under way. The frea
movement of cotton will, of course, facili
tate the payment of the American .bal
ance abrond."
Sir George declared that the report that
there was discrimination abrond tin,
Amerlcnn bills was not based upon facts.
He said all good bills were freely accepted.

NEW YORK. Oct. 16. A conspiracy ami
combination suit, under the fihermun
anti-trust law, was brought today agnlust
Charles W. Morse, former "Ico King,"
and the Hudson Nuvlgatlon Company,
which he controls, by the Mnnhattun
Navigation Company.
The XIanhattan Company seeks to re
cover treble damages, aggregating Jl.OfiO,

the Hudson Company has been opetatlng
boats nn the Hudson Illver to bring about
tho ruin of the Manhattan Company. Be
cause of those operations, the complaint
declares, tho Manhattan Company haa
