More Encouragement
for NAVY Coaches
rBy Telegraph 10 The Trbune.l

Annapolis, Nd, Oct. 20.-With Can
tain Miles back at his position Of quar-
terback, here to-day, but with no other
change in the backfeld. the midship-
men presented the arrangement which
probably will start against Virginia
Polytechnic eleven on Saturday.
There was much encouragement in
the work of the regulars this afternoon.
Won Heimburg. the plebe fullback,
caught the first kickoff and ran ninety
yards for touchdown, while Martin,
his classmate, showed speed and dash
throughou the practice and made regu-
lar gains. Westphal completed the
backfeld. There were two changes in
tt1 line, Barthold taking Goodstine's
place at centre and Kenworthy nosing
jackson out at left end.
Jackson and Harrison, last years
ends, guarded the tanks of the scrIh
eleven this afternoon.

HARRIS, PENN CAPTAIN,
HOPEFUL OF FOOTBALL
CHANCES THIS SEASON
Quaker Leader Arrives From
Summer Camp Ready for
Teams Trip to Port
Deposit, Md.
TALKS OF 1915 PROSPECTS

Captain Edward Harris, of the Uni
fresh from his summers sojourn in a
New Hampshire camp. visited Franklin
Field this morning to go over the details
Of the Quakers' trip TO Port Deposit, Nd,
where they will take two weeks of pre-
liminary training. beginning tomorrow.
Harris had left the plans to Field Coach
Dickson and the Football Committee.
The squad of about two dozen men
will leave some time tomorrow morning.
Not until morning will the authorities
be able to announce finally the names
OF the men who will be taken. Several
have not replied to letters sent them by
Coach Dickson during the summer, but
most of them are expected to report in
person either this afternoon or tomor-
row morning.
Captain Harris looked the picture Of
health. tanned and hard as nails. He
said no weighed 100 pounds stripped and
never felt better in his life. When asked
about prospects for the coming season
the big tackle was none too optimistic.
1T looks as though We will have some
irst-class material for the back field"
said Harris. That is. from last years
freshman team and from the scrubs, we
have some men who played good foot
ball last year. There is a difference be-
tween being a star on a freshman team
and on the varsity, and all the boys who
look so promising will have 20 make good
The more competition there is the better
we shall like II. The back field material
from last years freshman team ought 70
be big help. Grant and Bell were both
mighty good quarterbacks, while Quigley,
Welsh and Ross were high-class men. /
assume that Howard Berry, who played
on the scrubs, will be tried first at half
back
1T is in the line that we shall have
the greatest problem. The loss OF Nor
wald. member Of the 1914 varsity, and
OF Peoples and Dewhurst. OF the fresh
man team, has taken three good for
wards from US. We expect Witherow
and Dorizas, who played guard most OF
last year, 10 report again, and both
should be better than ever. Then there
Is Henning, who ] think ought 10 be
one OF the best tackles we have ever
had. He has the weight, strength and
gameness. Last year all he needed was
experience, which he has now. Probably
both Wray and Matthews, who plaved
halIback positions last year. will try for
centre, provided the freshman ana scrub
material ion which we are counting
makes good"

home from a cruise.
The squad which is now in training at
Annapolis Is made up of men from the
incoming class, and the fact that there
are 80 OF these recruits now at work
shows how keen the Navy is to win from
the Army this year The soldiers have
beaten the sailors twice In succession,
20 to in 1913 and 20 to o last year. and
the Navy wants revenge. The main upper
class squad of the Navy will get down to
work about the middle of this month, and
will cut short their vacation 10 days to
make this possible.
Both teams open their schedule on the
same date, October 2, and play eight
games before their final clash with each

schedule. The middies meet GEORGETOWN,

University of Pennsylvania for their first
