final scrimmage this afternoon, Lieut..
Douglas Howard, the head coach of
the Naval Academy football team, will
pick about twenty members Of the new
fourth class squad of seventy who will
be added to the main squad when 1t
starts work on Monday. 1t Is likely
that this number will be still further
reduced after a week or two of work
with the big fellows.
The best of the line men appear to
be Emerson and Kennedy. strong, ac-
tive follows, weighing about 1SO pounds
apiece. Emerson played tackle last
year on the Dartmouth freshman elev-
en-, and Kennedy has also had previous
experience. Vessel, Failing, Vail and
Grosskopf have done good work in the
backfield. Vessel has made quite a
reputation with the tam of Virginia
Military Institute. He punts well and
has been playing al quarterback In the
signal drills and forma tions Failing
is big fellow and should make a
halfback of the plunging type.
The main squad will report Monday
