NAVY WELL FORTIFIED
BY STRING OF BACKS
Two Sets Will Be Developed for Use During the Big
Games-Clay Dalton, and Austin Make An Ex-
cellent Trio of Fast Men.

ANNAPOLIS. Sept Sowing to the
unusual number Of trained backs at the
disposal Of the coaching staff at the
Naval Academy this season the An
ERpoIis coaches are prepared 10 take
f,In advantage Of the new rule which
Permits the return to the game Of play
ers who have left it for any reason
except disqualification.
While systems Of play have not yet
been rigidly adopted, il necessary the
Navy coaches could use sets Of backs
in relays. and then have a number OF
good substitutes. The only quaIihca-
ton TO this is that as yet no specially
good man has been found 10 take En-
wins place at quarterback.
The combination which may be re-
garded as the first set of backs con-
sists Of former Captain Clay, right half
back; Dalton, left halfback, and Austin,
fullback. The other aggregation is
Carey. left haIfbacB: Rodes, RICH half
back. and AIcCaughey, fullback- There
is little 10 choose in general playing be-
tween these sets. but the first has a
decided advantage in the punting Of Dali

than ROdes, who would have 70 do the
toe work when the second combina-
ton was behind the line
Dalton Is Star
There is also little doubt that Dalton
has the greatest ability as a line plunger
Of anyone now IN the Academy Weigh
ing 1S5 pounds, strong and rugged, he
Is yet able TO run leo yards in close to
Il seconds With several years ex-
perience before coming to the Academy,
he has been on the navy team for Two
seasons and Is expected 70 do great
work this year Clay is a fast runner
and clever, Merry player, but he viii

against some Of the other backfeId men
The placing OF Austin at fulIback was a
surprise, as ms position has been at

However, the present arrangement IS
only tentative in fact, there is nothing

years ago. and did well last year in

An interesting incident Of the second I
backfeld arrangement IS the presence

men see in this big bequest the begin

The rich men OF the south have. as
a whole. been the first to respond TO
the appeal OF the laity for largely in
creased gifts 20 foreign missions. There
are several wealthy cotton and tobacco
men who now give over $4,000 apiece
every year for this object The idea Of
supporting an entire mission station.
or even working whole province. has
gripped the Imagination Of these men
OF the south. and some OF them are do
