and All American Halfbsck.
The Navy veterans have failed to de-
liver It. II Is now up 70 the plebes to
place the Middies In the football nrma-
ment. This IL my opinion after having
watched the future Admiraia at practice
since the season opened. Against Cath
Ole University. Georgetown and Pitt. cx-
perlenced Navy players were turned into
the fray and their mediocre exhibitions
III these contests made the coaches des-
pcrate.
With everything to gain as they had
nothing more at stake. the Navy coaches I
then turned to the plebes, and after
sending the hrst year men through stren-
nous practice sessions and drilling them
hard In the Navy system. turned seven
OF them loose against Penn and the won
revelation.
The plcbes will be the mainstay OF the
Navy eleven this year or I am a poor
Judge OF football material. Since last
years men have fallen down so n.iser-
ably. and the plebe class has produced
such excellent material. tho coaches will
lose no time in building their team

ond game against Georgetown. after
but one week OF preparation, succumbed
to defeat. But against Pitt, the coaches
had enough time to get a line on their

coaches. the men went into the fray
with more dash n night than ever be-
fore. The wonderful comeback Of the
team against Penn 10 evidence OF the
results attained by the coaches.
The men showed the true Navy fight
and CAV tho Navy followers some hope
for the all important Army battle to be
staged In New FORK on November 81.
The coaches at present have about set
tied on the men who have the proper
qualifications to produce against the
Army. and from nov on they will get n
couple OF plays a week. When the team
invades New York for the big battle the
coaches hope to have a machine working
that will bring home victory.
The coaching staff Is composed OF
Jonas Ingram. as head coach Hard

Ingram. Babe Brown and Carranza
Richardson, Jonas II. Ingram halls
from Kentucky. and besides being one
Of the Nays greatest halfbacks has
all the qualifications for the position OF
head coach. His appeal to the team
before they entered the Penn game was
a masterpiece and to him belongs the
lions share Of the credit for the night
the men put up when the odds were all
against them. Ingram not only knows
football but has the ability to inject
this knowledge into the players. He
has had many obstacles to overcome,
but the team has now been started on
