NAVY TEAM TAKES IT EASY
Holds No Scrimmage, but Sticks
to Signal Practice.
IDy Telegraph 10 The Tribune.

Annapolis. Md, Nov. 1l.-Realizing that
the football team has nearly reached the
top of its stride, the Naval Academy
coaches did not allow any scrimmage
this afternoon. but devoted the practice
period 20 perfecting the special forma-
tons. general signal work, kicking and
receiving the ball.
The coaches are hard at work on some
special plays calculated TO catch the
Army entirely off its guard. Much time
was devoted to punting and receiving the
ball, high wind making the latter more
difficult and increasing the value of the
practice. The Navy is we'll supplied with
punters, Failing, Alexander, Nichols,
Vail and Blodgett dividing it this after
noon.
Practice will be secret during the re-
mainder of the year, and the coaches
will not permit more than two scrim-
images a week

Despite the fact that Yale and Prince

Indians and Dartmouth in action Is sur
prisingly big. Tickets are on sale at the

HEALTH HINTS.
Dxv A r poo1or

The most perplexing question that
comes to parents is the proper han
ding of the adolescent boy. These
boys are not the best "housemaids"
and are inclined to "life in the open"
doing anything readily which calls
for running around, or you are apt to
find them in gangs.
This, "gang" idea is as natural as
life to boys. 1t is areversion to. the
age of tribe and barbarous instinct.
It is not the suppression Of this in
stinct, but it's guidance that should
attract attention. We have examples
in the guidance in the dominant race
in Y. M. C. A. a few years ago in
the high school cadets, now in the
boy scout movement. In this section
Of the country we are deprived OF Y.
M. C. A. privileges; some parents do
not see the benefit of boy scout move
ments and there are no gymnaslums
for boys.
how is the time which is now lost to
be made up; who is teaching the boys,
training them for the thing we must
need-ability to work in groups? The
father sits idly by, the women gossip
and expect boys to grow up into mild
hammered men without special train
ing. 1t is time for the citizens Of
Des Moines especially to act; TO ar
range some way to give boys a proper
outlet for their natural animal spirit.
A few years ago there, was a move
