...game between the Army and Navy football teams this afternoon on Franklin Field, Philadelphia, the Army is somewhat the favorite, according to previous scores, having made 199 points to the Navy's 174 this season. It has a punter of great power, Coffin, the greatest kicker the Army has ever had. Before the game two battalions of cadets will go through a drill on the field...
...Soucy, at end, is falling into the duties of his new position quickly, and should be an improvement over Weatherhead, while Wallace, at center, backs up the line as a secondary defence even better than did Soucy, his most obvious fault being a tendency toward erratic passing to the punter. Pennock will be unable to play. Francke will make his first appearance in the backfield in place of Captain Brickley, and his performance will be watched with considerable interest on all sides...

Guernsey also is a long punter. Against Princeton his average through-out the afternoon was 40 yards, and some of his kicks travelled 50 yards...
