ches in height. Shafroth, who has
played on the team most of the sea
son, weighs. 1876 pounds, but he has
not been in the regualr line-up for
some time.
Midshipman Slingluff had some eX-
perience with football with a number
of the school and athletic club teams
around Baltimore and last sesaon he
was a substitute guard on the Navy
team. He is not a SNOWY player, but
very reliable one, as shown by the
few gains which have been made by
opposing teams this year against the
midshipman center.
Slingluff played through all the
games that the Navy team had this
season except those on Saturday last
and the previous Saturday. During
the latter part of the game with
Swarthmore he bruised4his foot badly
and was compelled to leave the game
and his injury kept him out of the
University of North Carolina game on
Sturday last. lie has been on the
field all this week, however, and the
Navy's friends are looking to him 70

THE LINE up IN DOUBT.
Navy Not Decided On Team For
The Great Game.

Contrary to expectations, there was
no open practice yesterday afternoon
at the Naval Academy, Head Coach
Dashiell having decided that all prac-
tice during the rest of the season shall
be secret. The ground was firmer and
the weather somewhat cooler and the
practice more like real work.
The members of the squad are now
excused from work at 3 o'clock, and
have three full hours Of practice each
afternoon. 1t was said authoritative
ly yesterday that almost every posi-
tion on the line was still in doubt,
and the work of the players during
the present week and the early part
of next would determine the final
lineup. Slingluf will undoubtedly v
play at centre, if in good condition.
and Richardson is practically sure
Of one end on account Of his value as
ground gamer when called back Of
the line.
Bernard is still considered as having
chance against Dague for the other
end. Northcroft viii almost certainly
hold his place at left tackle. What
to do with Piersol, vino has played
regularly on the Navy line for two
seasons, is giving the coaches some
trouble. He is a valuable man, but
has lost much time on account of a
bad knee, and the coaches are not de
cided whether he Will make a place.
but want to use him either at right
tackle or guard. Meyer. Wright and
Shafroth all have a chance for guard,
and Magruder and Simpson are fight
ing IL out for right tackle, and with
Piersol as a possibility for any Of
these positions the situation is compli-
Gated.
The Navy Will have as a season
closer on the local grounds Saturday
afternoon the team Of Virginia Poly
technic Institute. The midshipmen dc
not expect n hard game, ard everyone
who Will have chance 10 get in the
Army contest will have a chance t.
play.

the very time that our local item was
being written the other day on the
subject of the broken pavement on

not before il was written, we may add.
we are glad to make the acknowl-
edgment, but VIC believe there must be
something in the influence of mind

here is the case of a nuisance that
