quarterback. has made some remark
ably accurate goals from the side lines
at about forty yards. Jones also sur
prised' every one with the distance Of
his punts.
i Burg is also being given more OPP
portunity at half back. He istvery fast
and plucky. but lacks weight. Leigh

formerly played on Phillips Andover.
The Navy is In need OF more can.
didates for tackle. Is Piersol will not
play this season and Magruder has a
