charged with the robbery of the post office
In the city of Budapest, Hungary has been
captured at Norton, Va, according to the

rian is the contamination of a long chase
that extended half way around the world.

ives, DR.. Papp eloped with the daughter of
the postmaster of Budapest. At the same
time that the postmaster lost his daught-
ter he found that $4,000 of the funds OF
the post Office was missing He ascrfbed
the taking of this large amount to the man

NEXT BIG GAME.
Great Battle Expected When Army and
Navy Boys Clash.

A special ffom Annapolis says that the
interest of almost every one at the Naval
Academy is now centering on the prepare
lions for the game with West Point, as is
the case each season at this time. Even
more interest than usual has been taken
TINS year for two causes-the assumption
of the entire control of the coaching by
Dr. Paul Dashiell and the defeat OF Prince
ton by the Navy early in the season. a
feat which. Notwithstanding the subse-
quent slump, has convinced the Navy ad-
herents that this seasons team has playing
ability in It,
Although it was heralded this season that
the only coaching would be by amateurs.
mostly graduates of the Naval Academy.
but with DR.. Dashiell, not a graduate of
the Academy, at the head, the Academy
has from time to time this season availed
itself of professional help, but most of the
coaches have been It's own graduates.
At present DR.. Dashiell, of course directs.
The professional help consists Of three ex-
Yale players, OlcOtt center, who has
been here the whole season. and Hall and
Gould, both ends, who have just arrived.
Almost every position has one or more
coaches who have occupied the position on
navy team. Kayanaugh and Tardy at
tend to the center men; Belynap. at guard;
Mccarthy, quarter. and Halsey, full. Be-
sides there Is trainer, Tot Murphy of
Yale who knows something about foot ball
himself
The backs and all but one Of the positions
on the line seem to be well fixed, barring
an accident. Smith will remain at full, to
which he was transferred from guard, and
Doherty and Spenser are undoubtedly the
best men at the halves that have been tried
this season. They have only been used
lightly. however, In the late practice, as
both of them have slight bruises. The in
teresting fight for the quarterback position
between Wilcox, last years occupant of
the position, and Norton, who has ability
as a drop-kicker, besides his general good
play, has been settled by the coach in
favor of the former on account of his
general steady play and somewhat greater
ground-gaining ability.
The ends are very well taken care Of by
Howard and Whiting. and the tackles will
be Captain Farley and Grady, the latter a
fine ground gamer. Goss, at left guard,
and McClintic, center, are fixtures, but
three men, Pearsol Chambers and McCon-
nell. are still fghting 1t out for the other
guard.
The work every day has been divided
into secret practice and scrub game
which all may witness. Trick plays and
formations are practised during the secret
portion. The work against the scrub has
generally been designed to perfect the de-
fensive play and to insure on the attack
that every man gets in the play and helps
to make short line gains certain. Conse-
quently there have been no big scores rolled
up. Indeed. the work has appeared rather
tame and sluggish.
