Sentimentalists over sports were disturbed to learn last week that the Army-Navy football game for 1928 is, after all, completely canceled. Navy announced curtly its football season would wind up Nov. 24 against Princeton. Again sentimentalists started. For the first time in the history of the oldest rivalry in football (51 years) Princeton will meet a college other than Yale in her curtain game. After playing Yale Nov. 17, Princeton will journey to Philadelphia against Navy. Students of the situation noted that the Princeton-Navy agreement carried a clause for two more years, the games to be played in October. Prophecies decreed an Army-Navy game in 1929. Meanwhile Army negotiated with Nebraska for a feature football match November, 1928.
