EASTERNFOOTBALLCHAMPIONSHIPTO-DAY'SFEATURE-LOCALBATTLESIMPORTANT ARMY FAVORITE IN TODAY'S GAME Navy Hopes For Victory; Many Notables Present at Annual Contest New York, Nov. 25. One of the largest crowds that ever attended an athletic event In this city sought the Grounds to-day to Bee Annapolis and West Point stage their annual football contest. President Wilson was unable to be present, but mem bers of his cabinet and other high gov ernmental officials In addition to many prominent representatives of both branches of the service added bril liancy to the assemblage. Two battalions of cadets from West Point, 760 men, and the officers of the post expected to reach the grounds shortly before the game and give an exhibition military drill on their way to their seats. Four battalions of mid shipmen will occupy seats In the south stand. The Navy rooters will be augmented by about 400 officers from seven battleships of the Atlantic fleet now in the harbor. Secretary 1 laker Present Secretary of War Baker will head the list of notables in the north stands, while Secretary of the Navy Daniels will occupy a similar position on the south stand. The Army team which entered the contest with a clean slate lor the season was picked by most of the experts to win, but many'followers of the Navy professed confidence In the ability of their team. Neither team had any advantage In weight, but the Army had the greater number of seasoned veteran players. The probable line-up: ARMY. NAVY. House, 1. e. Fisher, I. e. Jones, 1. t. Ward(Capt.),l. t.

' 7, '< - " ' BIG CROWD WATCH GAME AT ISLAND Final Battle Between Tech and Steelton in Triangular Season Upward of 2,000 persons were in the stands this afternoon on the Island when the kick-off came at 2.30. Steel ton was without the services of their star, Dayhoff, while Tech entered the fray minus Captain Harris and Quar terback Lloyd. Much interest centered in the same in that it will close the local season with the exception of the Thanksgiving contest. If Tech wins again this afternoon, odds will favor the Maroon because of the overwhelming score by which Steelton defeated Central two weeks ago. Central, however, will concede nothing to Tech. Following this contest Tech will con tinue to prepare for Central next Thursday. Marks & Son have made an offer of a maroon coat sweater to the Tech player on the team who plays the best all-round frame against Central. The question of the best playing done during the game will be left in the hands of three Impartial judges, who will bo chosen unknown to the members of the team.

BALLOON PATCH SUPPORTS SIX PERSONS The care which is exercised to give a wide margin of strength to those | parts of a balloon that are subjected | to stress, is well Illustrated by the | manner in which the patches for kite 1 balloons of a certain make are con- j structed. Each of these huge gas \ bags has 20 patches which are at- | tached to ropes that support the j basket. To fasten a r ( ope to the j balloon fabric it is separated into its I four strands and then frayed out. The ! frayed portions are then sewed to ! the fabric, after which another layer ! of the material is cemented .over it. j The basket which is suspended from 1 these ropes is designed to carry two j persons and yet, so strongly are the patches made, one of them will sup- ; port six people without tearing, as; shown In an Illustration In the No- j vcmber Popular Mechanics Magazine. GATE RECEIPTS TO BREAK RECORDS Estimated That Admission Fees Today Will Reach Quarter Million Philadelphia, Nov. 25.—The climax of the eastern football season wits reached this afternoon with the play ing of the Yale-Harvard game at New Haven and the Army and Navy game at New York and several other con tests of lesser general interest, includ ing the Pennsylvania-West Virginia Wesleyan game at Franklin Field. More than 77,000 seats have been distributed for the Harvard-Yale struggle in the Yale bowl in New Ha ven, while close to 50,000 spectators will witness the clash between the United States Military and Naval Acad emy teams at Polo Grounds. Although the two football stadiums seat larger crowds than any similar structures in the country, the demand for reserva tions far outstripped the supply. Total Gate Receipts If it had been possible to accommo date all applicants for tickets the at tendance at these two games would have approached close to 200,000. The total gate receipts will exceed $215,000. This amount would be greatly in creased if all the Navy-Army seats were put on sale, but not a third of service tickets are disposed of in this manner. Interest in both games la excep tionally keen, as it is expected each struggle will be closer and much more spectacular than similar games in the past few years. This is particularly true of the meeting of the two uni versity teams at New Haven. Yale will send against, the Crimson the best combination that has represented the Blue in recent seasons, and while it is the first test of the Tad Jones' coach ing system, opposed to the methods of football tuition as advocated by Percy Haughton, the outcome is con siderably in doubt. The West. Point team contains sev eral veterans who have played pre vious seasons with the cadets or at other institutions and who have es tablished reputations as gridiron stars. CAMP HILL OUTCLASSED Camp Hill High tossers lost last night to York Collegiate Institute five, score 62 to 23. The York cage boys outclassed their opponents.

RECORD CROWD AT NEW HAVEN GAME Yale Meets Harvard With Bet ting Honors Even; Capt. Black in Hospital Before Game New Haven, Conn., Nov. 25.—Clear skies, crisp atmosphere which made furs and sheepskin coats acceptable, and a westerly wind with energy enough In it to Influence the punting side of the game, were the weather conditions to-day for the Yale-Har vard football classic in tho great Yale bowl. The crowd was the feature, for those who composed it began to pour Into the city almost before breakfast time. Eighty thousand persons, lacking a few hundred, considered themselves fortunate In having obtained seats from among the one hundred thou sand who had applied for reserve seats within the bowl. In all the story of contests between the Blue and the Crimson there has never been a time when the audience promised to be so great a feature off the field of play. It grew from hotels where men of so cial standing and wealth spent the night in uncertain rest on lounges, chairs, pool tables and mattresses laid upon the floors from sleeping cars on railroad sidings, from automobiles which stretched along the city streets and from trolley cars and railroad trains which brought tens of thou sands. Yale Supporters IJCIUI Yale supporters, and they outnum bered those of Harvard by some 30,- 000 for the first time in years, looked to the meeting with belief of victory. They sought odds in their wagering, generally at 9 to >0 but many In stances of equal betting were report ed. Harvard's enthusiasts, as in grid iron contests with the Blue since the advent of Percy Haughton as coach, placed absolute reliance in their team. The Crimson combination prepared to take the field with little doubt of its complexion. As compared with the line-up against Princeton, Robinson had displaced Murray at quarterback and Caner took Sweetser's position at tackle. Yale, on the other hand, even to the coaches, was in doubt almost up to game time. Uncertainty centered about the quarterback assignment. Smith, the Blue's leader, a fast rusher and proven general, was barely 1 recovered from the illness which [forced him out of the Princeton game. L.a Roche, who acquitted himself well i in directing Yale's strategy and play lin that contest, was ready to do so [again and was held in only slightly I less confidence by Coach Jones. Cap tain Back, unable to practice actively for several days, led his players from the infirmary where they spent the night, ready to take his place in the line. The Harvard squad came up from New Dondon late in the fore noon. The probable line-up: Yale. Harvard. Moseley, 1. e. C. A. Coolidge, 1. e. Gates 1. t. Wheeler, 1. t. Black, 1. g. Dadmun, 1. t'.

WELLY'S H CORNER "Red" Calhoun will manage the Wilkes-Barre team next season. He was celected yesterday by the owners. Calhoun was former leader of the Blngliamton team. eH Is as good a man rs there Is In the business. How ever "Cai" said he was ready to quit baseball. He probably meant when he is too old for activity which will be sometime to come. Tech's chances of winning next Thursday's game according to dope sters are good. Early this week Cen tral admirers were ready to hand it to the older school but within the last few days Tech has been quite a favor ite. A victory over Steelton to-day will put the Tech eleven ahead in the choice. One thing is 'certain. It will be the greates game of the year. .Several communications have been received from Williamsport in ex planation of the Billtowners' side of the disputed game between Tech and Williamsport high. These letters will not bo made public at this time be cause of the statement that a letter Is in preparation by the Tech faculty to be sent to Williamsport high school officials, and It Is also said that the Pennsylvania interscholastie Basket ball Association may have some state ment to make in the near future. Referee Cornwall, whose work in Central High Plays To-day on Wilkes-Barre Gridiron; Anxious For Final Victory With Coaches Smith and Harris and Faculty Director B. M. Saul, the Cen tral High squad, numbering 18 play ers, left early this morning for Wll kes-Barre. The Coal Barons have worked hard for this contest and while not certain of victory hope to hold the Harrisburgers to a low score. Coach Pat O'Brien who has charge of the Wilkes-Barre team is anxious to show some new things in football to-day. He anticipates a hard battle. When here with his team three weeks ago he placed great things on Mendel sohn who was the star in the game. Central will be without the services of Herring who is still on the injured list but expects to be in the line-up on Thursday. Captain Hilton and his teammates were In good spirits this morning and gave notice that they would bring home another scalp. WORLD'S BOWLING RECORD Tampa, Fla., Nov. 25.

What he has to say may be heard by officials in control of high school athletics. A better decision is possible when both sides arc heard at the same time. Throughout the New York State Ijeague circuit associations are active in preparations for nevt year. It Is about time Harrlsburg boosters get to gether and form a company to take cake of the game here. Manager Cockill is willing and anxious. Here is a good suggestion from I-ie high: rt. H. (Bosey) Reiter, who Is head of the physical education depart ment at Lehigh University, to-day is sued the following statement on the game: 'The rfist step necessary to win is to believe you can. If you think you are beaten, you are; if you think you dare not, you don't; if you like to win, but feel you can't, it's almost a cinch you won't. I believe this is the philosophy that should underlie all athletic endeavors.' " It is the general belief among foot ball fans that to-day's important games will not be decided until the final whistle blows. It looks like an even-Steven match between Harvard and Yale. Williamsport Big Five Is Basketball Attraction | At Chestnut Street Auditorium to j night the Harrlsburg Independents will play the Williamsport Big Five.
