HARRY L. MERRING.

Harry L. Merring. who the coaches
picked for the position of left tackle,
made vacant by the illness of Captain
King, who was stricken with typhoid
fever three weeks ago, is one of the
big fellows of the Navy troupe. He
weighs 100 pounds, is 6 feet l inch
in height, and is % years old.
Though tall and lanky, he has excel
lent muscular developments, due to
the fact that he rowed on the Mid
shipments crews for three years.
Each year he came out to try for a
place on the eleven, and though he is
hard and aggressive player, not un-
til the last week of practice did his
work place him in line to land the
place and thus earn the coveted IN" "
and even then it was a difficult mat
ter for the coaches to make the pick
from among such good men as Davis,
Douglas and McCaughey. But with
a greater amount of avoirdupois than
any of the others, and with equal
aggressiveness, and reliable as de-
fensive player, the coaches, at the
eleveth hour, chose him for the place
Merring is a member of the first
class. His home is at Cameron
Mills, N. Y.

His Body Terribly MangIed

According to additional informa.
tion received here from Columbus, G. a.
about Mr.. j Z. Walk, a jewelry
salesman, who was run down by Q
street car and killed at Columbus,
Ca, on Thanksgiving Day, Mr.. Walk
had planned to leave in the morning
for Birmingham, but changed his
mind at the last moment on the pros
pect of making a sale to an Atlanta
firm.
When struck by the car he clung
desperately to the front of it for a
second or two before he was dragged
under il. Every limb was broken.
mis- ribs were crushed and his body
nearly severed. The motorman says
Mr.. Walk did not seem to hear the
car or gong and although the motor
was reversed the accident could not
be averted.
A crowd searched the car tracks
for diamonds, thinking that Mr..
Walk had them on him when struck,
but all his jewelry had been pack
ed in his trunk

IoHN II. BROWN. IR-

John H. Brown, Jr, whose home is
at Canton, Pa. is not only the heav-
lest but the most powerfully develop
ed man of the aggregation, especially
for his age-19 years. Standing
feet 1-2 inches in height, he weighs
204 pounds, and is fourteen pounds
heavier than any other member of the
team. Though a member of the
"Plebe," or fourth class. Brown was
not by any means a green player
when he joined the squad at the open
ing of the seasons practice, for he
had gained considerable experience
at Mercersburg Academy, Pennsyl-
vania, on which team he played
halfback last year. He was just a
little slow of movement, but all he
needed was some persistent instruc-
tion from the coaches, and improve
ment was soon noticeable. And as
the season progressed ne developed
into one of the strongest forwards.
Not only is he a tower in covering
up openings when the opposing team
haste ball, but he is fast and gets
down the field well under punts. One
particular fault of his play. that of
overrunning the runner, was correct
ed in the final practice. Brown played
right guard.

PHILIP VAN HORN WEEMs

In Philip Van Horn Weems at CEN
tire, the Middies had a player who
is indeed remarkable in that position
for a man of his weight. Weems
barely tips the scales at los pounds,
is % years old, and feet IL 1-2
inches in height. He held the posi-
tion all season and is a tower of
strength in the line. Weems whose
home is at Charlotte, Tenn, is one
of the strongest Midshipmen at the
Academy. He holds both the heavy
and lightweight championships in
wrestling among the briagde, and is
also a crew man. The remarkable
display of endurance and strength
attained from these branches of sport
counted much toward his development
as football player. Weems has not
only showned himself capable of hold
ing down his own job, but helps the
guards considerable. Several other
men were tried out for the centre po-
sition, but none shone quite in the
class with him. Milton Anderson,
who weighs 1S5 pounds, is good un-
derstudy, however. Weems is a
member of the second class.

1901. The first game between the
two branches of the service was
played at West Point in 1890. The
Mule then saw the Goat return home
in blaze of vociferous glory, leav-
ing him to wag his head and tail in
disconsolate wonder at the figures
Navy, "a; Army, 0.
The mule did some thinking, and,
mule-like, didn't say a word for a
whole year. Then he came to An
napolis the next year, saw the
Navy's points, raised the ante and
carried the ball, for which both sides
had kicked and butted each other,
back to the Hudson with Army, 80,
Navy, 16. painted on its hide. In
1892 the Navy won second time, 10
to O; then won again the next year.
The kicking and butting match
had grown so in popular favor in
1899, when athletic relations were
resumed after a break of six years,
that neither teams grounds would
accomn odate the crowd that desired
to watch the annual contest. So,
when the University of Pennsylvania
offered the use of its grounds in that
year both branches of the service
gladly accepted the invitation. The
Army won, II to 5, but next year
were beaten, IL to ..
Daily, who had been captain and
one of the best qusrterbacks ever
produced by Harvard, became a mill
tary cadet in 1901. With him in the
line up the Army won again. For the
first time in the history of the games,
Navy failed to cross the Army line
and got zero for her share ofothe
score in 1904, while the Army by
dint of much hard work scored ii
points. In 1905 came the tie at
Princeton. The next two years the
Navy won by scores of 10 to 0, and G
to 0, respectively, and in 1908 the
Army was victor to the tune of to

celled on account of the death OF
Cadet Archie Byrne.

Marriage Bells

Another young couple was made
happy last night in the contract that
originated in Eden. Miss Virgins
Ellen Connell, of this city, became
the bride of Mr.. James George Hod-
son, of Danville, Ill.
They were attended by Mrs. Carl
I. Johnson, as matron of honor, and
Mr.. James ]. Powers, best man. The
marriage was solemnized by the Rev.
James L. Smiley at his residence,
after which the bridal party repaired
to the brides home, where a pleasant
reception was held. The young
couple will make their home at II

Navy spirit and determination for

ifestations, resulting in steady i'm.
provement that he finally snatched
the job out of the hands of our other
men of good calibre. At the start
of the season. his chances of land
ing the place were not regarded as
very encouraging, when the field was
made up of such good men as Erwin.
McReavy and Shaw but he simply
buckled down to hard work, and ii
was handed to him. Short of stat
ure, he is an ideal man for the po-
sition. He is strong and we'll devel-
oped physically, and has a good head
for running a team. He, too, is
a member of the wrestling team,
and is a valuable man in the secon-
dary defense. Sowell is 81 years
old, weighs 167 pounds, and is feet
1-2 inches in height. He is a mem
Der of the second class.

JOHN PATRICK DALTON.

Practically everybody who enthu-
ses over football, has heard of
Dalton. John Patrick Dalton is his
name and he halls from the little
town of Broken Bow, Neb., though
he was appointed to the Navy from
Missouri. Dalton is by far the
"star" of the Navy outfit, though all
through the season he was made to
bear the brunt of bluff on the part
of the coaches-that his position was
in serious danger, until it had come
to be regarded as huge joke. de
is unquestionably the only most reli-
able ground gamer, and there is no
side-stepping the fact that he scored
the great majority of Navv's points
in the seasons games. His chief
forte is his ability at line breaking,
and his punting, too, is a valuable
asset to the team. Dalton is 81 years
old. weighs 1870 pounds, and is 6
feet IL inches in height. He is a
member of the second class, and there
is no doubt but that he will be elected
captain of next seasons eleven.

K 2. GILCHRIsT.

X. p. Gilchrist, who played right
end, is another member of the
"Plebe' class to make the Varsity.
Right at the outset of the season he
began to catch the eye of the coach
es, and it was not long before he was
regarded as fixutre IN the position.
With each game he showed steady
improvement, and now many regard
him as the "star" of the team. He
is fast and has the fighting qualities
of a bulldog, follows the ball excep-
tionally well. And in the forward
pass play he bears close watching.
Gilchrist comes from Lathrop, Mo.
He is 20 years old, 5 feet 8 1-2 in
cbes in height and weighs 169 pounds.

FRANK LoFTIN.

Frank Loftin, at right tackle, comes
from Julia, Tex, though he was ap-
pointed to the Navy from Tennessee.
and he, too, is a member of next
years graduating class. Loftin had
an uphill fight of it to land his place.
Playing regularly at tackle last year,
he started this season in the same
position, but towards mid-season he
went into an apparent slump, and was
relegated to the ranks of the Scrubs
for q while. But he "came back
strong, and in the last two weeks
clinched the job for sure. Loftin is 2S
years old, weighs 1S5 pounds, and
is feet and one quarter of an inch
in height. Loftin is captain of the
crew and also the wrestling team.

CARROLL Q. WRIGHT. IR.

At right guard, Navy has the
right" man in the right place.
This position was filed by Carroll @.
Wright, Jr., son of Navy Chaplain,
and his home is in Philadelphia.
Though a member of the squad three
years, this is Wrght's first season as
regular Varsity player. Weighing
l81 pounds, and possessed of all the
grit that football man should have,
Wright held himself aloof of all on
ponents for the guard position, hav.
ing played in every game this sea-
son. He is fighter from the word
go, and has keen eye for fumbled
balls. Wright is 81 years old and
is feet inches tall He belongs
to the first class and will, therefore.
graduate before another season rolls
around.

TEN ARE HAZING VICTIMS
While Others Make Up List OF Typhoid
Patients Al Naval Hospital

While the Middies are yelling
themselves hoarse or Franklin Field
this afternoon, there were just thirty
three members of the brigade who
simply bad to stay at home, and were
on the verge of expectancy for re-
turns from the great game.
Twenty-three of this number, IN
cluding Captain King, make up the
list of typhoid fever patients under
treatment at the Naval Hospital,
while the other ten are doing penance
as the result of participating in some
recent hazing stunts at the Acad-
emy. Though heavily punished in
other respects, deprivation of the
privilege of attending the big game
fell harder upon the Middies than
anything else.
Otherwise the Naval Academy looks
deserted today, for all officers who
could arrange to go were at the
game. Capt. John NJ. Bowyer, the
superintendent, was the man behind
the gun today. The superintendent
is enthusiastic over football, but he
preferred to remain at home and
guide the affairs of the Naval Acad-
emy, while nearly everyone else was
away.

DONALD W. HAMILTON.

Donald w. Hamilton, left end, halls
from Roswell, New Mexico, and is
a member of the second class. Ham
ilton has been a member of the squad
for two years, though it was not until
about the middle of this season that
he showed sny calibre as a Varsity
player, and he won his position only
after the hardest kind of fight from
among a field of some half dozen more
good men. Notable among these were
Elmer, Cobb, Ingram and Dickens.
Hamilton is an aggressive player, and
adept in diagnosing a play and fast
in getting down the field. under kicks

running the ends and clever at dodg-
ing in the open field. He was elected
as captain of this years team, but
deprived of the honor by the SUI
perintendent of the Academy be-
cause of an act of misconduct that

erning the Midshipmen and their
