NAVY LADS WORKING HARD
Main Squad is PraCticing for First
Game Of Year with George
town October 2.
MILES WILL PLAY AT QUARTER

AlaNAPoLR Ma. Sept M-The main
squad Of Naval Academy foot ban play
ers are now at practice. Though they
will have but one week to prepare for
the opening game, which will be against
Georgetown on October 3, II Is believed
that we'll prepared eleven can Be put
in the field by that time. This belief
Is based On the number of experienced
mon available and the unusual amount OF
work done during the winter and sprine.
Besides an unusually large number of
likely men in the new class are available.
Early last winter many Of the foot
ball men. who were available. took up
light practice, while others were engaged
In some other line of athletics, which
kept them in condition. During the spring
number Of the foot ball men rowed
or played base ball or lacrosse. but as the
different sports finished their season the
foot ball men reported to Lieutenant In
gram. the head coach, for foot ball work.
Toward the close Of the season he had
the entire foot ball squad for some time.
As soon as the new class formed the
foot ball men worked out twice a week.
, and for three weeks past daily practice
has been the rule. Thus the squad Is
inOlo ieeUg W sSs uO"h W reel iVVe Nv"
than any previous squad in the history
OF the academy.
Miles. who captains the team. this sea-
son. naturally will be at quarterback.
Toward the close of last season his work
enabled him to displace such a sterling
player as Mitchell in that position. He
is strong and fast handled the team well,
and developed into a brilliant runner
with the ball.
Naval coaches have followed the poliSy
OF using all backs. except their quar-
tiers. at any position behind the line. and
they should have no difficulty keepi y
