nations with which the Navy coaches
hope to confound the Army, and the

which II expected to break UP the for
ward pass plays In which the Army has
had much success against Navy teams
In recent years.
Head Coach Ingram announced this
afternoon the arrangement OF the team
which will start against the Army on
Saturday. As had been expected back
field composed entirely OF members of
the entering class was picked out. How
ever. there were some surprises In the
line. particularly On account OF the fact
that several OF the players were shifted
from the side Of the line where they
have generally worked. Neither Clark.
right tackle, nor Fisher. left end. was
expected to start the game. Both are
valuable men. and Fisher IL probably
the hardest tackler the Navy has. as the
Army backs will know II they fall into
his clutches.
The lineup a. selected by Lieut.. In

Violet lines up against tho Blue and
White on Saturday tho spectators will
be greatly surprised TO see that the
whole system OF attack has been
changed. The team no longer has It's

History Repeats Itseif.

The game In which Exeter beat
Andover by 6 to 0 proved to be a very
exciting one and the outcome also re-
established an old tradition. Andover
was the favorite and lost. So II was
with the favorites until 1912, when
Exeter was the favorite and won.
The two elevens were coached by
Yale teammates. Fred DAILY had charge
OF Andover while Harry Vaughn was
coach OF the Exeter team. II Ia very
interesting to note that these men were
rival captains when In prep" school.
The score by which Capt Daly's team
beat the Exeter eleven Of which Harry
Vaughn was captain was 8 to 0. and Il
