BROWN WILL BE HERO FOR

Two Years in a Row—Brown
is Likely to be
-MIDDIES WILL TRY FOR
FOURTH STRAIGHT GAME
Two Men on Each Team Face
Each Other Saturday for the
Fourth Time
BY RALPH L. YONKER.
The Army-Navy football game to be
Hayed at the Polo ground*. New
York. Saturday, la filled with peculiar
sentiment that no other game in the
world could be.
There may be better loot ball when
Harvard meeta Yale, or when bar*-
mouth meeta the Indiana, but there Is
never any more lively feelings of In
terest and loyalty throughout the
country.
Thie year that weird Interest that
la always aroused is Increased b>
speculation as to what main Mil be
the hero of the content. It U> cus
tomary fbr one of the elevens to fur
a real hero whenever the two
teams meet.
Last year the man aas brown who
booted the ball -over the Army's goa.
twice on kicks from placement for
the only counters of the game.
la. the two previous years the hero
was a Navy man, also, Dalton, who
kicked one goal in each year, again
for the only acoree of the contest.
Football fans are wondering if his
tory will repeat Itself and Brown will
ogala hoot the hall for the victory
aa Dalton did after his first success.
. Unless they are strong for the Army
they are hoping that it will, for they
Mhe tradition in theee historic, con
flicts.
Heroes and goals from the field
'have gone together in the Navy elev
en. Before the days of Brown and
Dalton. Northcroft was the mac on
the pedestal. He was s tackle who
dropped beck from the line in 1906
twice and kicked field goals, one of
them from the 4S-yard line.
One of the Army's greatest heroes
ii Charles D. Daly, who is now coach
ing the codeia Daly starred on the
Army team away back In 1901, when
ho was only a plebe, or what univerai
-4 ties call a freshman. He had al
ready played on the Harvard team
. and won egpected to make a great
shewing. *
: The Army won from the Navy in
tfce game that Daly played in by a
■ score of 11-6. Daly scored all the
points for the Army. He drop-kicked
n goni la the first half and took the
kfcitoff at the 'beginning of the sec
* cod half, running the length of the
field for a touchdown.
There is another bit of sentiment
connected with Saturday's game that
is an usual. Four men will play their
fourth game against each other.
If the Navy wins the game, two
of the men wIH have defeated the
other two four times in a row. If
the Army wins, two of the men will
have the satisfaction of the last
laugh, at least.
Brown and Capt. Gilchrist are the
players who are in their fourth year
for the Army. Only one man has ever
participated in four victories over
either team. That was Capt. Graves
who* was s member of the Army team
when H beet the Navy four years in
s row. 1901 to 1904. -
The Army men now on the team
who will receive their fourth defeat
if West Point loses Saturday, are
Capt Hoge, a halfback, and Huston,
a guard.
Another coincidence that is re*
markable Is that the rival coaches
w#rs graduated from their institutions
In the same year. Daly finished at
West Point In 1905. and Coach How
ard of the Navy, at Annapolis, at the
same time.
Strange to say those two men never
met on the gridiron, for Daly played
only the first two years he w’as in
school and Howard only the two last
years.

NEVER BE KIKE HAS ONE
MAN DRAWN SO MUCH COIN
nr
Dope Hub It That McFarlaAu
Will Toy With brewer and
Hudson Must Fight
HY RALPH L. YORKER.
The highest-piic«sl card ever offered
at the \S luusor Athletic club-is billed
for tonight, when Packey McFarland,
tile stockyards boy troui Chicago,
gives an exhibition of ills skill agaiusi
Harry Brewer, of Kansas City, who
is himself not in the dub claws, judg
ing from his record of a couple ot
wins against Ferns an J a draw or Du
against Hay Bronson.
McFarland will draw more money
than any other man who ever stepped
into the Windsor ring to box eight
rounds with eight-ounce gloves to no
division Just exactly what Glaeaco is
paying Parkey In nut «*iuteu, but it la
certain tnat it is greater than ahy
price paid iu recent years.
Brew er, too, will gel more than
most of the boys who battle across
the river, lie isn't coming from Kau
sas City altogether for the sake ot
breathing the pure Canadian air.
Besides these men. there is a semi
final that ranks well up with many of
the finals that have been put ou
across the drink. Tommy Hudson,
who hid an opportunity to meet the
champiou of his class, last year, at
Windsor, takes on Harry White, of
York, Pa., Windsor, Ont., Detroit,
Mich., and any place else that hap
pens to bo convenient.
While the card will be the moat ex
pensive staged zeroes the river, the
house will also be the best paying one
ever gathered In the new club. The
prices for the bout have been boosted,
but the imtrons of the club have sig
nified their willingness to pay the fare
demanded if ouly they are promised
something worth seeing. While the
house tonight may not be the biggest
in the history of the club, it will reap
more money for the boxofllce.
The dope has it that the final will
be an eight-act drama intended to
! show the abilities of McFarland, with
| Brewer acting as his foil. It Is con
j ceded that Brewer cannot get to Mc-
Farland. but that Packey can pummel
Harry at will. He will not try to put
him out. it is believed, but will be
' content with outpointing him.
The dope, furthermore, has It that
Tommy Hudson will have to show
more than he ever has before to beat
Hurry White. Since his knockout by
' Champion Coulon, Hudson's life has
j been one of ups and downs (excuse
this one) most of the time, for he
i has been running an elevator for sev
era! months. Hudson, on the other
hand, believes that he has the old
wallop that will Induce Harry to quit
caring for the things of this eartn
