will have a squad of about sixty picked
players, who, in weight, strength, apt

A remarkable coach staff was ready
for the squad yesterday. Besides
Lieutenant Ingram and c. F. Smith, of
the Navy, there were Hardwice. half
back, and Logan, quarter, of last years
Harvard team, and Big Bill Hollen-
back, who was not only an All-Amer-
ican back while at the University of
Pennsylvania, but who has made good
as coach. Lieutennt DeMott, a form
er Academy player, handled the fourth
class squad which is probably the best
the Academy has ever had. Indeed
one of Lieutenant Ingram's ideas in
drawing on it only slightly for his first
squad, was to leave an aggregation to-
gether which could give the first team
the hardest kind of practice game.

dates some. of the most practical kind
of coaching on taking position. charg-

on the opening of the day were Ward

linat promise as a running back until
