MORRIS IS CAPTAIN
Former Tech Player to Lead
N. A. c. Eleven.
BIG SQUAD TO RETURN
Only One Man to Be Lost From
twenty-five Carried on Team
Last Season.

At a meeting Of the Maryland Agri-
cultural College foot ball team held at
College Park yesterday. Country Nor
ris. former Technical High School play
er, was elected to captain the 1913 eleven.
The honor was granted to Mr.. Morris al
most unanimously because of his brilliant
work during the past season.
Morris held the captaincy Of, the Tech
squad the last year he was in the High
School and the place will not be new to
him and should be very capably filed.
He is a natural leader as well as a most
capable player. There was hardly dis
senting vote in the choice Of him for the
position. Morris is the first Washington
boy who has ever held the captaincy of
an NJ. A. c. eleven.
Morris played brilliant foot ball all
during the past season. He was the best
defensive back in the south and very
capable performer in every department
of play. He was the unanimous choice
for left halfback on the all-state team
selected by several critics and was given
a place on the all-south Atlantic eleven
in one instance and the second honor on
that team In another.
Good Squad Back.
When Morris returns next fall he will
find that practically his whole squad is
intact. From present prospects there Is
but one man who will be lost. koehler.
the center, is the only man who will
graduate. White and Wilson, who have
been taking two-year courses, finish this
spring, but they will return for two more
years and graduate in the regular four
year course. Not only will the regular
eleven be back, but every one OF the
eleven substitutes carried during the sea-
son will also return. These, with the
new men who should enter. will prove a
nucleus around which an even more sue
cessful team than last years should be
developed.
The schedule of next season will be
harder than last fall. 1t Is planned to
take on two or three new teams and
drop some Of the weaker ones played
during the past season. West Virginia
and the Virginia Military Institute are
two new teams which are to be on the
schedule. One or two dates nave al
ready been definitely arranged ana sew
eral others are pending.
At a meeting of the athletic council
a few days ago the following men We're
awarded their letters for work during
the season: Johnson. Williams. Hind
man, Rowland. Huntemann, Aitcheson,
White, Wilson, koehler. knode, Shipley,
Morris, Hoffecker and Ruff. Hoffecker
captained the eleven last fail and un-
doubtedly was one of the most success
full and popular leaders the Farmers
have had in years.

AS to volcanoes proper the island
has none. Its highest peak, Mount
Jumuilong Aianglo. is less than 1900
feet high. and the greater part OF the
island is plateau from 200 TO 500
feet above the sea. The whole place
is so small that the scenery cannot
have great variety. The island is only
thirty miles long, and on the average
about six miles in width. Ii is shaped
like the sole of a shoe. and on the
west side OF the sole. on the bend of
the instep. lies the chief port. known
as Agana. on Agana bay. This IS the
capital OF the island, and 1t Is there
