NAVY FOOT BALL.
A Change In Tactics.

OF the sixty midshipmen who started
out to practice football on Wednesday
last for the purpose of developing mater
ial for next year team, about thirty five
have dropped out. Others are practicing
every afternoon for the team as it is
thought several of the fourth class will
be selected.
Midshipmen c. F. Chambers, of Ohio.
A. Pierson of New Jersey, and Midship-
man Heron have excellent athletics rec
ords and will doubtless be chosen on the
team for the coming year.
Coach Burr Chamberlain, of Yale, has
arrived to assist in coaching the Naval
Academy football team this season.
Charles +. Gould, who will be head
coach, is not expected until the end of
the month. This is the first time for sew
eral years that Yale coaches have been
employed, and it goes to show that the
navy athletic authorities have not been
entirely satisfied with the Princeton style
of playing the game, which has been
taught here for the past few yeas. Yale s
football tactics will be taught instead this
year.

DR.. GEORGE WELLS.
A Belligerent Politician, But A
Man Who Honors
His Word.

MIR. Paul Winchester, the now famous
author OF the column "Men And Events
IN the Baltimore Morning He,aL1, writes
the following interesting sketch of prom
inent phys in Annapolis
Few men in Maryland have been
more prominent in political affairs than
DIR. George Wells, and every two years
he adds to his prominence. for DR.. Wells
Is political fighter. and political fighters
are always more prominent than any
other class of politicians.
AT present the Doctor is engaged in
his usual biennial fight. which he is en-
JoyIng no doubt. but which is giving not
little trouble TO the leaders of his party.
who are using all their influence to get
the Doctor and his opponents TO declare
truce or patch up peace so that they
may have some slight chance to win at
the election. Even his political enemies,
and he has many, have a strong liking
for DIR. Wells personally, and they hold
him in the greatest respect.
"He is bluff and abrubt in manner.
but he has hearty, sincere way that
inspires confidence. Above all else, his
word is his bond. When he says any
thing he sticks to it, and it is difficult to
persuade him that he has ever made a
mistake. for he dislikes to make any such
an admission. even when he is clearly in
the wrong, which happens to the best of
people at times. Despite his almost con-
stant political wrangles and rackets. DIR.
DIR. Wells is personally very popular,
and his popularity is largely due to his
generosity and real kindness of heart.
"He will rage and storm at a political
enemy, and yet, when that enemy is sick
he will at once send for Dr. Wells, who
will attend and care for him like a
brother. for this noted politician is one
of the most successful and famous physi-
clans in the State. At one time the Doctor
was in bitter controversy with a man
who was at that period Governor OF
Maryland. His Excellency was taken
violently i'll. He at once sent for DIR.
W ellis, who attended him throughout his
sickness. cured him, and then took up
the old fight with all his force and vigor.
"The Governor knew DR.. Wells and
trusted him, although in political affairs
the Doctor exhausted the vituperative
epithets of the English language in dis
cussing the personal and political faith
of His Excellency. A fighting. .belligerent
politician who never gives up fight, a
man who says of other men whatever he
thinks of them, man at times rash and
headstrong in his Characterization of his
opponents, is DIR. Wells. but he is also
skillful and learned physician. kind
hearted and hospitable friend, good
citizen, and, above all, a man who honors
his word above everything else on earth. .

THE OYSTER OUTLOOK.
A Great Scarcity of Delicious
Bivalve Due To Lack
of Protection.

Oyster packers and dredgcrs expect
that the oyster catch in the Cesapeake
bay this winter will be the smallest in its
history. Every winter the catch has been
growing less, owing 10 lack OF protection
to this vast source of wealth.
The question has been the subject of
discussion by the Legislature and business
organizations. but the oysters continue to
decrease from neglect. Many who have
made their money out of oysters. and
followed dredging in the Chesapeake bay
have been forced to abandon il this year
on account of the scarcity OF oysters.
Mr.. John w. Martin. of the firm of
1. w. Martin x Co.. said to 4 CAPITAL
reporter today that only one third OF the
quantity of oysters caught up to this time
last year IS being caught this year. and
that oysters are bringing ten cents per
bushel less this year than they were this
time last year. Oysters are scarce and
high, but the condition and quality is
believed TO be about the same.
MIR. Martin also said that only about
one-third of the oystermen who formerly
followed oystering for living were en-
gagged in il now, owing, he thought, To
the work on the new buildings at the
Naval Academy and State House, which
had given them employment and a source
OF livelihood. The &. w. Martin Com
pany has made number OF shipments
OF oysters. mostly TO Washington, but
several shipments have been made West.
Another prominent oyster dealer, MIR.
Walter Clark. said oysters are much
better than they were at the beginning
of the season, and he thinks the outlook
more promising than at the opening of
the season. Mr. Clark said from fifty
to sixty boats are at work on the oyster
bars. and that oysters are bringing from
fifty to sixty cents per bushel. Each
boat brings in from eight to fifteen bushels
and there are from seven to ten buy
boats at present anchored in the harbor.
Mr.. Clark said there are any quantity
of small oysters on the bars, and if the
proper projection is given them by the
State authorities there will be a largely
increased quantity of oysters next year.
Hard crabs are very scarce and soft
crabs are selling for As cents per dozen.

A NEW FORM OF HAzlN6 IN VOGUE At
THE NAVAL ACADEMY.
Many Of The Young Men Of The New Fourth
Class Have Been Driven To Sick
Quarters Through The
Practice.

Lieutenant X. ID. Galloway, u. 6. NJ,
retired, has returned to Washington after
a visit to his son, Richard ). Galloway
a midshipman of the fourth class. who
was confined to the Naval Academy sick
quarters as a result of hazing by upper
classmen, who are here since the cruise
on account of deficiency in studies.
Young Galloway was ordered to do

dred times. This exercise consists in

until the body almost reaches the ground,
then rising again. After going through
the performance one hundred and ninety

His muscles were so hard he was
unable to walk, which caused him TO
suffer severely The matter was taken
up by Commander Charles ]. Badger.
who did everything in his power to find
the guilty person, but SO far he has been
unsuccessful. The hazing has. however.
almost entirely ceased. The investiga-
ton into the hazing of Young Galloway
has gwen official recognition to the fact,
which is commonly known here, that
hazing is still going on at the Academy.
The midshipmen themselves deny that
there is any hazing whatever, but that is
simply. because they have changed the
name of the practice to running" As a
matter of fact hazing in an extremely
severe form is going on and ithas driven
several fourth classmen to the hospital.
The abuse consists chiefly of the use OF
insulting and profane language to the
under class men, and compelling them
by threats to undergo continuous physical
exercise until they are most exhausted.
1t is this latter practice which is send
ing the boys to sick quarters. The
hazers are about fifteen midshipmen OF
the three upper classes, who are deficient
in their studies and were compelled to
forego the regular holiday given them
upon their return from the summer
cruise. So strong is the academic custom
that this handful of the dull men of the
upper classes are hazing the three hun
dred and fifteen youths who compose the
entering class. The officers arc trying to
stir the youngsters Of this class to a
manly resistance to such an imposition.
