The announcement that Charley DAILY
will again coach the Army foot ball
team Is nothing more than expected
In fact, had any other man been placed
at the head of the Soldiers eleven it
would have occasioned real surprise
DAILY is the man who brought out a
team at West Point which beat the
greatest team the Navy ever had, when
it was thought by every expert that
the Sailors would get the long end of
the Army won from the Navy so easily
that there was little comparison
There is not the least doubt that DAILY
is the man responsible for the splendid
two past seasons, and he probably will
be kept at the head of foot ball affairs
as long as he cares to do the work.
Tommy Peyton has been chosen to
lead the Western High base ball team
next spring. Peyton played the out
field last spring, and his work was ex-
ances at bat and in the field were such
as to establish him as one of the most
capable men in local scholastic ranks.
Peyton Is the kind of fellow who is
popular with the boys and he ought to
make a mighty good captain.
