NEW YORK. November 10.-The
football wizard from the faraway
Northwest has opened the eyes of the

troit were discouraGipE. and when the
opening at Annapolis came Dobie was
freed by Detroit ana accepted the po-
sition which should give him his great
est opportunity to win lasting fame in
the ranks Of great football coaches
The Navy eleven this year is play
ing a different brand of football than
It has ever exhibited before. After
comparatively poor start in its first
game OF the season. the Middle aR-
gregation suddenly bloomed out in full
strength and sncthered the Carlisle,
Indians under a CRUSHING score of 81 to
0. This game has furnished the big
gest surprise OF the football season
in the East tn date, and the score in
dicates what kind Of results Dobie is
getting.
