FOOTBALL CUM
WILL DROP SITUBH
Sensational Games Are Promised
on Thanksgiving Day; Army
and Navy Close Season
Special to The Telegraph
New York, Nov. 24.—This week
winds up football. Sensational games
are promised for Thanksgiving Day.
The final game will be the Army-
Navy battle at Philadelphia Saturday.
Games scheduled include the Penn
sylvania-Cornell game at Philadelphia
and Pittsburgh-Penn-State contest on
Thanksgiving Day and the Army-Navy
game on the same field two days
later. Compared with the Yale-
Princeton, Princeton-Harvard and
Yale-Harvard series tijese annual
games are of comparatively modern
origin. The interest, however, is keen,
and each season the elevens play be
fore crowds that tax the capacity of
I the stands.
The Cornell-Pennsylvania series be
gan in the autumn of 1893 and has
continued without interruption for 21
years. During this period Pennsyl
vania has won 18 games; Cornell two
and one resulted in a no-score tie. In
total points Pennsylvania leads with
392 to Cornell's 118 and the victories
have been accumulated in strings.
From 1893 to 1900 Pennsylvania won
continuously. After being defeated in
1901 the Quakers were triumphant
until 1906, when the no-score tie oc
curred. From 1907 to 1912 Pennsyl
vania won regularly, Cornell's second
victory coming last season when the
Ithaca team won 21 to 0.
The Army-Navy game began three
years earlier than the Cornell-Penn
sylvania series but owing to breaks in
the service matches but eighteen con
tests have been held. Of these con
tests the Navy has won nine; the
Army eight and one resulted in a tie.
Although the Navy has a one-game
lead, the Cadets have scored the
greatest number of points, their eight
victories totaling 182 points to the
Middies 139. It is a peculiar feature
of the series that in a large majority
of the contests both elevens have
scored. The Army has succeeded but
once in shutting out the Navy while
Annapolis teams have six times de
feated their West Point opponents
without being scored upon.

The Sport of the Flying Saucer j
The beginner at the trapshooting i
game may rid himself at the start of
the notion that trapshooting is intend
ed as preparation for game shooting,
or that it is anything else but a game,
with its own rules of conduct, its own
style of shooting, and in fact related
to game shooting in the field only In
that guns and sheila are. used in both.
As it is played, a sqyad of five men
line up at pegs arranged equally dis
tant from one another, and from the
traphouse. Facing the trap, the first
peg to be left is No. 1, the next is No.
2, and so on to No. 5 at the right,
hand. The row of pegs Is 13 yards;
distant from the throwing arm of the 1
trap within the house.
When business starts to pick up I
with that squad, No. 1 man raises his ;
gun to his shoulder, beds it comfort- i
able, cuddles his cheek down to posl- !
tion, thereby constituting the cheek on |
comb the sole rear sight of the gun,
points the gun about the edge of the
traphouse, and calls "pull." Instantly
the bird, with a tiny, crisp, ringing)
sound, shoots from the arm of the trap

HOW TO TIE THE WET ELY FOR.
TROUT AND BASS
Curiously enough, there seems to be
i a generally prevalent feeling, oven
'among fishermen of long experience,
1 that the man who ties all his own
flies must possess some peculiar artis
tic aptitude—must be, withal, a wiz
, ard of the woods and waters. True,
ithe making of those dry flies which
'call for an exact matching of the
I natural insect in form, colors, and
I size demands considerable experience
; and delicacy of touch, but the major-
I ity of flies of fishermen do not come
lin that class. It is the wet fly and
j the ordinary dry fly in which most of
j us are chiefly interested, and in their
j trying there is nothing which any
j man, woman, or child with two good
one pair of serviceable eyes,
• and an ordinary stock of patience
jnecd find difficulty in mastering.
