HEAD COACH INGRAM
OF FOOTBALL TEAM
Is Not Following Beaten Tracks
This Season at Naval Academy.
PROMISING FOURTH CLASS.
Main Squad to Have Benefit Of Services
at WestpOint, Last Seasons
Promising Back.

L nat Lieut.. y. II. lUSIdlu. WHO dSSuDN-
ed the duty of head coach to the Naval
Academy football team this sason. is
not following in the beaten track, was
indicated by the fact that he has chosen
but few men from the unusually large
and promising for the class aggregation
to join the main squad which reports
for duty on Monday.
The names of but seven have been so
| selected and given out, and there may
be one more. Lieutenant Ingram has
chosen only this small number because
he believes that more progress will be
made if the bulk of the new men are
kept together and allowed to develop
team work on the fourth class eleven
He has, consequently, selected only
those who will be of special use to the
main squad, though he may call upon
the squad of new men later on in the
season. il needed.
His selections at present are Gilman
and Smith, tackles; Martin and Van
Heimberg, ends; Goodstein and Hunt,
tackles; Stoudt, back. Gilman played
at Codnell and Colgate, though he did
not make the varsity team, though he
rowed on the crew at the former place
He weighs 100 pounds. Smith weighs
over 200 pounds, and played in the
backfield at Sewanee. However, both
men will be placed at tackle here
Ward and Kennedy are the only prom
Using men on the old squad for tackle
end the advent of two such powerful
men as Gilman and Smith has proved
very fortunate.
Lieutenant Ingram has also chosen
two men to try for the cetre position
Goodstein and Hunt, both strong, heavy
and active men One of the big losses
to the team was in the graduation of
Perry, who had played centre for three
seasons, and there is no man of par
ticular strength to fill his place Stoudt
was chosen because he gave much
promise as a running, of which, of
course, the team could not have too
many. Though the squad is fairly
strong in end candidates, with Harri-
son, Jackson, Woodward and Broad
foot, both Won Heimberg and Martin
have indicated enough ability as to
make them worthy rivals.
Enough good men are left to the
squad to insure the formation of a
powerful fourth class eleven, and it will
have its regular schedule of games
1t will probably be coached by Lieut.
Max De Mott, formerly an end on tel
Naval Academy football team, and will
also have a separate trainer. 1t will
probably be good enough to give the
varsity the hardest kind of a practice
game at intervals, and the squad is
particularly rich in big fellows, weigh
ing upwards of 100 pounds. Several
excellent men for the backfield and
ends, including Olsen, who punts well,
were left to the squad from which the
class team wilt be picked.
The main squad will have the benefit
Of the services of Westphal, promis-
ing back of last year, this year. West
phal showed much promise early in the
season, and he did particularly well
egainst the University of Pennsylvania,
one of the earlier contests, but was un-
fortunate enough to break his leg to-
ward the close of the game. He is back
in the game this year, and much is ex-
pected of him.
A star backfield work is also expect
ed of Craig the son of the Governor of
North Carolina, who developed into a
most brilliant runner late in the sea-
son. The very substantial additions
from the new class have given much
encouragement to those interested in
the Academy, and the opening of the
| season is awaited with much interest.
