ANNAPOLIS, Nov. 24.-Barring
something Of the most unexpected
character, the following is the Naval
Academy team which will start the
game against the Military Academy
eleven on the New York Polo
Grounds next Saturday, with the
weight in pounds Of each player:
Left end, Won Heimberg, $50; left
tackle, Ward, 1T; left guard, Ker-
cher, 1854; center, Goodstein,
1721a; right guard, E. R. Smith,
199; right tackle, Gilman, 1877; right
end, Johnson, 169; quarterback,
Craig, 147k; left halfback, West
phal, 1874; right halfback, Davis,
153la; fullback, Martin, 1914.
Head Coach Ingram Is the authority
for this arrangement. except in the care
Of Craig at quarterback. Lieutenant
Ingram Is not vet ready to say that
Craig. and not Captain Miles. will start
tho game at the pivotal position. but
II Is the conviction here that he will.
Occupancy OF the position will carry
the acting captaircy with II. but be-
cause It Is the natural position from
hich to handle the team. and because
rraiG will be the only first classman
IN the team with the exception OF
liercher. a guard.
Should a substitute to Craig be neces-
sary, it would be Miles. IL his physical
condition permitted. Miles weighs 1911
pounds. II Miles could not 70 into the
game. the responsibility would devolve
upon Orr. a fourth classman. who
weighs but 1851 pounds.
Tor every other position behind the
line. Vail would be the first substitute.

Under the present arrangement. there
