several of the players were somewhat
green in their contests against expert
enced combinations in the season just
ended.
Georgetown will lose two or three
players of exceptional worth, but it
is casting no reflection upon their
work when it is stated that their
places will be taken by men just as
capable. Georgetown's team of 1915
is pretty sure to be one of the strong

There is one feature of the Army
Navy game which is very gratifying to
those in charge of the teams-the abb

contest is one of the hardest fought

temper lost, of rougher play than that

the way of the Orange and Blue in its

1t is difficult to understand lust
wherein any one of these three teams
can lay solid claim to greater strength
than Virginia, certainly not on the
comparative work throughout the
season. Washington and Lee did not
lose game. but neither did Virginia,

dropped to Yale. Every team in it's

Virginia is not in the Southern Inter-

ARMY PICKS LEADER.
Weyand Elected Captain of Foot Ball
Team for Next Year.


| WEST POINT. November 30.-The vic
| torious Army foot ball team reached
home at o'clock yesterday afternoon
| and was accorded a rousing welc ONE.
The same old scenes which have fea-
tured the Homecoming of the foot ball
men annually, win or lose, were en-
acted. possibly with little more en-
thusiasm than in the past. The entire
cadet battalion. augmented by crowd
numbering more than 1000, largely
made up of the civilian residents of the
post and vicinity, and headed by the
Military Academy band, escorted the
returning heroes to their quarters.
The ancient stage coach in which the
members of the team rode and which
has done duty for many years in the
same capacity was drawn up the long
hill by willing cadet hands. The entire
repertoire of foot ball songs was sung
by the marching throng on it's way to
the cadet barracks, where the demon
stration reached it's climax. Cheers for
each player on the team, the coaches
and the trainers were given, and the
rally ended with a short speech by Ca
Diet Prichard, retiring captain of the
team.
The foot ball men brought with them
from Philadelphia the blue and gold
blanket which has adorned the back of
the Nays mascot goat for many years.
1t was carried IN the baggage car OF
the train all the way through and
guarded by special detail of cadets
made up of the substitute players trav-
cling with the party.
On the trip home the team elected it's
captain for 1915. Cadet Alexander Ma
thias Weyand was chosen to lead the
Army eleven next year. Cadet Weyand
has played tackle on the Army team for
the past three years. He is twenty-five
years old and .entered the Military
Academy in 1911 from the tenth con-
gressional district of New Jersey

THE CLEEK.-As I have stated
in previous notes, the cleek is
often one of the most difficult
clubs in the bag to master. For
years l personally could not de-
pend upon even most ordinary
shots for which the low-f1ying
long ball with the cleek is so de-
sirable.
Only lately have I learned that
the way to get results with the
>c1eek is to use it with a much
shorter swing than I previously
tried, and then to get down we'll
into the ball. When acquiring the
shot don't try for too much dis
lance, and you will be surprised
how far you get with a most
ordinary stroke.
Most of us forget that golf
ball is really very light and re
silent and that a club-head
swung around large segment of
an oval attains wonderful de-
gree of force. Speed at the in
slant of contact is more desir-
able than great force.

The Spartan A. c. foot ball team ran
away from the Company B team at
the Arsenal grounds yesterday by the
score of 46 to 0. At no time during
the game did the service eleven have
look in. The Soldiers presented a
weak offense, while the clubmen had
a puzzling and varied attack. which
kept their opponents guessing all the
time. Cranston and Boyer played a
great offensive game for the winners.
