NAVY IMPRESSED BY
HEGARTY'S ELEVEN
Middies' Coaches Are Satisfied
at Work of Their Proteges
on Gridiron.

ANNAPOLIS. Nov. 2.-The progress
of the Naval Academy team last
week, eliminating in the game on
Saturday against North Carolina Ag-
riculturaI and Mechanical College,
was fairly satisfactory to the Navy
contingent. incidentally. the North
Carolina Aggies put up a splendid
game against the midshipmen, and
it required a team OF considerable
strength to beat them. Those who
saw the game are confident that the
Aggies would have made a creditable
showing against any team in the
country. Little was known Of their
strength here, as they had played
only Southern teams up to Saturday,
and II was hard even to find the re-
suits Of their games. but they brought
team to Annapolis that was strong
in every element of football. much
higher percentage Of their forward
passes were effective than those Of
any other team that has been seen
here this year. and their straight at
tack was powerful. Every man used
in the backfield was good one. Van
Brocklin. Tenney. and Riddick stand
ing out as the stars.
1t is probable that the Aggies would
have won from the midshipmen had
not the latter shown greater strength
than in any previous game The
Navy team Is not having much sue
cess with the forward pass, due prob
ably to the fact that Overesch, who
has shown the greatest success in
catching the ball, is far from being
in the best shape physically. while
Blodgett has frequently overthrown
the man who was to receive the ball.
However, the straight attack has i'm
proved In speed and power. due TO
the notable improvement oS several OF
the most used backs. There are still
several problems in the line, which
has not near the strength at this
The work of Blodgett. halfback, and
Miles, quarterback. has been most
satisfactory, while Failing and Fl. Har-
rison also carried the ball we'll in
Saturdays game. Blodgett has had the
special coaching Of Ensign Dalton. who
among the best backs in the country.
He has improved greatly. and on Sat
urday played the best game Of his
career: He weighs 1S5 pounds, and is
remarkably fast for his, weight. His
punting is excellent, and he Is cover
ing more ground with his kicks every
day. Miles did such fine running with
the ball on Saturday that he awoke the
enthusiasm Of those on the Navy
stand, while Failing made several Won
derful gains, bowling over the Carolina
tacklers and refusing to be downed. H.
Harrison, a stalwarr defense player,
but heretofore of little use as a ground
gamer. Is also showing more ability in
carrying the ball than ever before.
This back1eld is very heavy and
strong, as all but Miles weigh we'll over
$50 pounds. while Miles Is strong,
stocky fellow. The Navy's strateeern
in most of their games this year has
been TO begin with a smashing attack
with its heavy backs one after another,
varying 1t with end runs in which Blod-
Gett and Miles are used. and to put in
practically a new backfield in the third
quarter. Early in the final quarter the
big backs are returned. and are in
shape after their rest to again deliver
telling blows against q iaded line

HARVARD IS READY
FOR TIGER BAIT TIE
Mahan and Pennock Will Be in
Lineup When Crimson
Tackles Princeton.

CAMBRIDGE. Mass, Nov. at VIII
be day or two until Harvard football
players who went through the Michigan
game on Saturday will be ready for
hard work in the final getting ready for
Princeton, who will be this weeks at
traction in the stadium. No one was
seriously hurt Saturday. but all were
battered hard. Trumbull, who wore
himself out and also hurt his head
again, will rest until Wednesday, and
Wallace. as soon as he gets over his
bump on the head, will get back into
the middle Of the lineup. Smith. the
new end, who did so we'll at Hardwfck' S
regular wing, banged a leg, which might
have been the cause of his keeping out
Of football this year, but even he Is not
expected to have to remain on the side
lines long.
The substitutes will have the work be-
tween them, but on Tuesday the regu-
lars will get together to put on their
Princeton offense and to bolster up their
own defenses against what is believed
here to be a versatile Princeton attack.
il not a finished one. Mahan and PEN
mock both will start IN again.
Each Of these veterans could have
been used against Michigan had Haugh-
tor thought necessary. The Harvard
coach was determined to save them II
ne could, and that this came about is
a great source of satisfaction in the
Crimson camp. Saturdays game meant
4 lot for such players as Francke, Wes-
ton. Parson, and the younger end
rushers, and altogether the match was
about as hard football as any team
could have. Michigan's rush line con-
tion was wonderful. and Yost surely has
a string Of mighty athletic young fei-
lows from tackle to tackle.
Mahan's drop kicking is expected to
oe very prominent factor in Har-
wards game from now on, and II he and
pennock can keep in trim for the re-
n,ainder of the year. Harvard should
he able to give a good account OF Itself
in the late season.

4 Song of Some Weeks Old.
Soon there comes a deadly quiet
To the campus, dull and drear;
Ended then the raucous riot
OF the deadly college cheer;
But a brooding pail will hover
And the laurel turn to moss,
Where the flalfback tackled Horace
And is thrown back for a loss.
Now the fullback rushes gayly
Through the daZed opposing team,
And he gains his distance daily
AS he dashes under steam;
But he shudders at the future
With his system all a-wreck
Where the festive older Pliny
Does q war dance on his neck.
Where the quarterback now dashes
Through the thickest Of the fray
Yau may shudder at the clashes
OF the foemen in the fray;
Though you think the game is brutal,
As a pastime 1t will pail
To the agony that follows
When Catullus takes the ball.

PRINCETON, y. J., Nov. 2-Severs
criticisms of the Princeton football

less than five times, aside from the
once when a touchdown resulted. and
Williams was dangerous only at the
time of her score.

RABBITS ARE A PEST
 IN THE ALASKAN INTERIOR

Among the islands which sonsti- ute the Alexander archipelago, in fact throughout the greater DOT ton of southeastern Alaska, rab- bits are unknown, in Q wild state. Several attempts have been made in recent years to plant" them on islands, but the success of the un- dertaking is still in doubt. How ever, they are plentiful around Haines and in parts of the interior country, so much that in many places they, become a pest. Prof. IC. c. Georgeson, special agent in charge of the United States gov ernment experiment stations in Al aska, in his annual report for 1913 says:
 Rabbits did much damage to the crops. They have increased so ra- pidly of late years throughout the interior that they have become a serious pest. Whole fields of grain were eaten off as close as if they had been cut with mower. There were literally thousands of them. One could not walk along the fields, especially near the edge og the tim Der, without encountering them by the score. Several farmers in the Fairbanks district lost the greater part of their crops from this pest, and the experiment station also suf- fered severely. NotLing could be done to abate this nuisance except to build rabbit proof fences around the fields. which would be out of the question on account of the ex- pense. The country is toe large and the settlers too few to make it practicable to make war on them, even by concerted action; and the timber and bushes afford hiding places for them which would frus- trate attempts at rabbit drives. But nature will provide a remedy. Many of them were apparently afflicted with some contagious disease which killed off great numbers, and it is thought that they will not be so numerous next year.
