which is located below Wyam, on Five
Mile creek The cofferdam work consists
of water-tight fencing being thrown up
about 10 feet or u feet, which is filed
with sand and stone. The space thus cut
off from the swift stream is pumped dry
and in that space the dam will be To-
Gated. The cofferdam has been extended
over two-thirds across the river at this
time. The current thus harnessed and
diverted into one-third of its usual space
rushes down with tremendous velocity.
In order to erect the cofferdams on the
extreme side of the river it will be nee
essary to make openings in the construct
ed cofferdam, thus allowing an outlet
for the stream. and as the dam is raised
higher and higher these places will be
filled and there you have the river alb

NAVAL ACADEMY FOOTBALL
TEAM

X. p. Gilchrist, Missourian, is
captaining the Midshipman gridiron
team this season. He won his place
as right end of the Annapolis team
during his first year at the Academy
and in the following season he played
quarterback. Last winter he return
ed to his old position as right end
and is playing in that position this
year. Gilchrist is strong, cool-head-
ed player and has demonstrated dis
tinct qualities of leadership that have
helped in the work of the midship-
men so far leading to characterize
tion of this years team as one that
is as heavy as last years team. The
1912 team was the heaviest agsrega-
tion in the Academy's history. He
succeeds Peter P. Rhodes, who de-
clined the eaptaincy after he had
been elected to it at the close of last
season. Gilchrist will graduate next
year. His team has been trying out
a number of new formations, includ-
ing wide end runs and forward pass
plays and did brilliant work with the
