MACHINES CHOSEN TO
CAPTAIN LEHIGH TEAM

South Bethlehem, Pa, Nov. 2l.-W
b. Magnnes, Of Boston. an old Exeter
player, was to-day elected captain Of
Lehigh University's football team.
Maginnes is a fullback. rather light
in weight, but having great driving
power. He is also a very heady player.
and in several of the games this year
that were very close the turning point
came invariably following Maginnes's
entrance into the contest, and By res-
son of some brainy stunt he pulled off.
Lehigh has been without a captain all
year. an acting captain being ap-
pointed prior TO each game. The Bp-
pointment Of this acting captain was
contingent on the best playing by any
member Of the team in the game the

Boston, Nov. 21.-The Harvard foot
ball players had long session this
afternoon, working with will on their
defensive plans for the Yale game. The
scrub team, which Reggie Brown has
been instructng for some time, was on
the field against the regulars and some
of the better substitutes, and for more
than an hour showed the regulars some
thing of the style Of game they may
expect at New Haven Saturday.
Most Of the first team saw Yale last
week, and therefore were keen for the
defensive work. which generally was
very satisfactory. The drill was not ut
all rough, although at the very finish
the varsity was allowed TO put on a
little steam on offence and the scrubs
were told TO get some ginger into their
work. However, there was no scoring,
and the days drill brought no further
injuries.
The fact that both Gamer and Robin
son were in the drill to-day probably
means that both men will be IN the
Crimson's first lineup az New Haven.
Gamer has been put on the team ahead
OF Homer Sweetser because OF his
strength and agrressiveness on attack,
while Robinson. whose condition ap-
parently is better than for three weeks,
is believed 10 have a little better Judg-
ment than Murray. Robinson played
against Yale for time last year, and
probably would have been the first
string man had he not been injured.
Many Of the players have more con
fdence In Murray, but al the start Of
the game at least the coaches figure
Robinson will be better able to size up
Yale's defence, which he has watched in
two OF this seasons games.
Before the practice ended tins after
noon both Phinney and Brewer, the
substitute ends, were worked with the

Navy's Game AgainstPitts-
burgh Makes Annapolis
Strong Contender
BY w. o. McGEEHAN

In betting circles, which are not al
ways the best purveyors of football in
formation, the Army is 10 to 6 ia
vorite over the Navy in the annual i'm
broglio which takes place at the Polo
Grounds Saturday.
Painful as it may be to Josephus
Daniels, persons of speculative ten
denotes do not believe that the Mid
dies have much of chance on the grid
iron Saturday. On the dope Of mere
landsmen, the young gentlemen who
are about to go down to the sea in
ships are doomed to see their eleven
dismantled, wrecked and scuttled.
Great Game Against Pitts
The Army, although pitted against
no very formidable teams this season,
has set up clean record for target
practice at West Point. The future
second lieutenants have piled up 900
points, TO total of % scored by their
opponents. They have beaten Lebanon
Valley, 3 to O; Washington and Lee,
IA to Z; Holy Cross, II to 0; Trinity,
80 to 0; Villanova, SO to 7; Notre
Dame, 30 to 10; Maine, II to 3 and
Springfield, II to 2.
The Navy, on the other hand, ran
against one tough team-in fact, one Of
the toughest teams in the East-the
University of Pittsburgh, and against
this formidable organization the Navy
made a wonderful showing. They were
beaten by just one point. The final
score was Pittsburgh, 20; Navy, 10.
When you consider how high the
Pittsburgh team stands to-day the per-
formance of the Navy in this partcu-
lar game is extraordinary. If they
could muster the fighting spirit that
brought about this performance when
they face the Army the mule would
need some kick to withstand them.
On the aggregate of points the Navy
does not loom up as we'll as the Army.
But it must be remembered that the
Navy participated in the sitter battles,
taken ell in all. The Navy's total is
W., to 90 scored by their opponents.
The Navy played one tie and suffered
two defeats, while the Army has yet to
bite the dust, if at all.
The Navy has beaten Georgetown, l3
TO Z; Maryland State, IA to 7; West
Virginia. II to 7; Georgia, 81 to 2;
North Carolina Aggies, 80 to 0, and
Villanova, 81 to Z.

The Main Issue May Be,
Which College Has the
Better Machine?
By GRANTLAND RICE
(Chapter IL

Resuming where We left off when SO
annoyingly interrupted yesterday. the
matter gets down to this: Has Har-
ward slipped far enough and has Yale
advanced far enough from last year to
bring about an even conflict?
This. of course, leads to more nimble
persilage. II the case had to be treated
only upon what each eleven had
shown to date, we should say the two
elevens in Blue and Crismon harness
were wonderfully we'll matched.
We know, for example, that Haugh'
toms system of offensive deception (ex.
tremely offensive to Yale in 1914 and
19l5) isn't nearly so effective when con-
fronted by two strong, alert ends. Cor
nell's two fine ends wrecked the decep-
tive badly year ago, even with Ned
Mahan leading the drive. Princeton's
ends held il in check this year. And
Yale, with Moseley and Comerford, has
two of the best ends we have seen in
more than one days journey.
Yale's Defence
The value of Black and lie Gore "a
Yale is well known. But not even this
great pair will be any more useful or
Saturday if Moseley and Comerfort
come up to their Princeton play.
They have shown so far exceptiona
power, speed and slertness. With thi:
combination working well they have i
in their power to hold Haughton's de.
ceptive attack we'll in check, for il
blocked at the wings no attack can be
versatile enough to filter through line
and a secondary defence for any con-
sistent advance.
Two star ends can soon put line IT
shape TO handle its share of the burden
and Moseley and Comerford as pain
look to be the best Yale ends we have
seen since Bomesler's day. Haughton's
deception must draw them in or push
them out. II it fails in these respects
Harvard's attack will lose so per cent
of its ability to gain ground.
Another Element
Yale's line from tackle to tackle
isn't the most football section we have
looked upon this year, but it is by no
means a total loss. And, in addition
to Moseey and Comerford, there are
these points to consider in Yale's i'm

Loss of Lew Little Big Blow
to Chances of PENIS Eleven

West Virginia Wesleyan is not as strict
as at the average college, and Folwell
has an idea that several "ineligibles"
may be in the lineup; that the visitors
will prove a tougher opponent than is
anticipated by comparison of scores
made by the two teams. Such things
have happened in the past, and Folwell
does not want to have his plans upset
and record marred by an unexpected
defeat.
The Penn team will leave town
either Sunday or Monday, and spend
two or three days at either Atlantic
City or Wayne to prepare for Cornell.

VIDAL RETURNS
TO ARMY SQUAD
AND KICKS GOAL
Oliphant Also Stars in Workout
for the Game Against
Navy

West Point, n. Y, Nov. 21.-With TIE
advent of colder weather, the Army
men were speeded up with more vigor
than ever this afternoon, the coaches
drilling the gridiron warriors for near
~ three hours in preparation for the
Navy battle.
Vidal who got into the fray to-day
for the first time this week, signalized
his return to the squad by booting a
pretty field goal from the 40-yard line,
and Oliphant, the Army's human tank
tractor" registered a touchdown in d
twenty-minute scrimmage with the
much worn out scrubs.
The soldiers displayed bit more life
to-day than has characterized their
work of late, although the mentors
were again displeased with some of the
shortcomings and emphasized it by
their incessant "balling out" of the big
fellows who made the mistakes.
Butler in Real Form
Butler got down to real work to-day
and played the entire scrimmage period
at tackle. His return to the squad
helped the mental attitude of the men,
all cf whom realize now that the Navy
lads are going to furnish stiff opposi-
tion on Saturday.
Captain Mctwan, the Army's leader,
played the whole period at centre to-
day. Meacham and Holmes alternated
at enc of the guard positions on the
VARSITY. Meacham will undoubtedly
get the call for the Nayygame.
Ford's kicking was feature of the
drill. His high spirals had plenty of
carry, and gave his ends, Shrader and
House, ample time to cover them. Ford
worked in the backfeld for a while
when Place was late in reporting. /!
is probable that Ford's only chance to
get in the game will depend on whether
the soldiers can go through the battle
with their ends and backs intact. 1t is
a peculiar situation for veteran Of
Ford's caibre and experience to be
placed in at end.
House Brilliant Player
The Army is featuring House and
Shrader, two entirely unknowns until
this season. House is aggressive and
fast and gets down under the passing
game IN splendid fashion. Shrader,
who never played football until he came
here this year, is flashing such splendid
form of late that it is hardly probable
the coaches will shelve him for either
Ford or Redfeld, the latter also vet
eran of Navy games in the past.
All of which indicates that the
cadets are considering themselves
strong in the wing positions.
Murrill. substitute quarter, was hurt
to-day and will be out of the play the
rest of the week. Either Stencil or
Kilburn will be selected as the reserve
pilot in case of accident to Gerhardt.
The soldiers wound up their drill to-
night with brief session at the tack
ling and blocking machines and mile
run around the plains.
