with Gettysburg. Attention will be at
traetsd to all these bouts because they
mark the getaway of the participants,
but the Rutgers-Princeton duel has its
own special little sIdelight Of note in
the fact that these two teams played
the first game of football In the HIS
tory Of the sport In 1859
Indications are that there will be
more open play than last season. One
concrete reason for this Is the rule
change that allows kicks from points
Immediately behind the line, whereas
last year II was necessary for the kicker
to be flve yards or more back. This will
bring back some of the quick kicks from
formation that were In vogue under the
old onside kick. which was introduced
at the time the forward pass was Ie-
galized. The difference between this
years short kick" and the one OF
those days Ii that the kicker's team
mates are not onside now until the ball
has touched some opponent The open.
ing up effect Of this play will be found
not SO much In the actual play itself
as In the possibility OF IT, which will
necessitste the defending side TO be
spread out on the alert to get the bail

Should this feat be accomplished, the
class Of 1914 will leave the Academy
knowing that II has accomplished some-
thing which has never been equaled,
and which can never be excelled.
OF the nine members of last years

from the class Of 1914. and II In probable
that both vacancies will be filled from

would not be far below the best eleven

ANNAPOLIS. Sept 15.-Members Of
the class Of 1914 Of the Naval Academy,
none Of whom has tasted the bitterness
Of a defeat at football by the Military
Academy. are consumed with desire
Of establishing the unique record At
Annapolis Of going through the course
with clean record of victories
against their Army rivals. Losing only
two men of last seasons victorious
team most judges would say that pros
poets Of accomplishing this feat were
very bright. However, Head Coach
Howard and his assistants understand
perfectly well that overconfidence
is the great danger of the team, and
that no matter how strong the material
may be, a failure to strike the proper
standard Of individual playing and team
work may wreck the team in midsea-
son.
At the Naval Academy. an impression
seems to have taken hold to some ex-
tent that the present aggregation, little
changed from last season, Is unbeatable.
The coaches do not hold any such View.
however. Still. the material is wonder
fully strong. and it is safe to say that
no coach In the country will have more
experienced men or stronger looking
squad than will be present on the Navy
field this year. The bulk of the men
on the squad have. of course. the bene-
fit OF one years more experience than
the team Of last season. while the new
class will yield q number of good men.
and some additional upper classmen will
report as candidates.
Attain High Honor.
There are two members OF the gradu-
ating class who wear three yellow stars
on their jerseys. as a token that they
have taken part In three victories over
the Army team. and they are the only
two Navy men in the history of the
Academy who have ever achieved a
like honor. They are Gilchrist, this
years captain. and Brown. the big
guard. generally rated as Of All-America
class. These two sterlng players were
in the games Of 1910. 1911 and 1912.
Six more Of the class are wearing two
of the stars. those playing in the game
Of 1911, besides Gilchr!st and Brown, be-
ing Howe. McReavey, Nichols. Ralston,
Redman and Rodes. Last year, all hut
two team men were members of this
class. o..
Held, the members Of the class: indeed,
With such a record on the football
the whole Naval Academy. will stretch
every nerve to maintain the unbroken
Geries Of triumphs while this class Is in

Four of the GrifYmen have been re-
leased TO Los Angeles. in the Pacific
CDast League. in order to allow Man
sSer Griffith to put in drafts for seven
minor leaguers at today's big meeting
In Cincinnati. Those who have been
dropped are Nick Altrock. the funny
man and coach Of the pitchers: Jacinto
del Caivo. the Cuban outfelder; Car
roll r. Barton, the former Pepco twirl-
er sent to Petersburg, in the Virginia
League this year, and Ben Spencer, the
little outfelder obtained by purchase
this summer from Petersburg.
Inasmuch as the Los Angeles club is
managed by Frank Dillon, Clark. Grif-
fith's brother-in-law, II 10 expected that
ths Climbers will be able to purchase
any or all of these players whenever
II 10 desired. Nick Altrock is OF slight
use to Los Angeles, but has proved
himself an excellent coach for the
young pitchers with the local team.
He will never report TO the coast team.

Il 10 apparent that Manager Griffith
intends strengthening his catching stan
for next year. He has picked out three
ca4chers who have done good work all
