BIG BAzAR FOR
MACHINE GUN CO.
Repeated Tonight In ST. Johns
Gymnasium
MUSIC AND DANCING
Last Nights Success PhenOmenal-
Tonight Even Greater Things
Promised
MUSIC AND DANCING

Even the most sanguine of the
members of the Machine Gun Com
pany was greatly surpriso last night
by the phenominal success of the
bazaar at ST Johns gym, for the
Company Fund
Crowds filled the gymnasium all
evening and the patronage was ex-
cellent Every booth did splendid
business.
The gymnasium was very attrae-
lively decorated Flags and bunting
of the national colors lent an air of
patriotism to the scene The two or
chestras. that of the Naval Academy
band. and that of the Eukulele Or
chestra, proved quite an innovation,
and there was music continuously all
evening. AS soon as the Naval Acad-
emy orchestra stopped playing the
Eukulele began
Dancing was a great feature and
was generously patronized. The
booths were all most attractive. the
United States and Maryland colors
being used with great effect.
At least two-thirds of the floor
space was given over for dancing, the
booths occupying the other third.
The ice cream booth was so arrang-
er as to open into cosy, inviting
nook in the rear, the place once used
for the shooting gallery and later the
college bowling alley.
Floor was laid and carpeted, and
quantities of cedar and fir trees, with
an abundance of cut and growing
flowers, made this a cool inviting
spot, where cooling refreshment was
dispensed to many patrons. The ice
cream parlor was also hung with
japanese lanterns that added to its
attractiveness.
Among the patrons were many au-
tomobile parties from Baltimore and
West and South River districts.
Too much credit can not be given
t1ie ladies of the committee to give
freely of their time and donated gen.
erously to the worthy object of lend
ing a helping hand to the soldier lads
who are endeavoring to raise a Com
pany Fund TO add to the companys
comforts.
The bazaar will be repeated tonight,
and it is hoped the patronage will be
equally generous. Everybody should
go and enjoy themselves and at the
same time help the young men who
are to fight for them.

1t was too late to do this. he said. but
the department would give favorable

which were slated for training at
Petersburg, were ordered instead TO
tarin at Camp Meade This divorced
the Maryland officers from the men
1t was too late when the decision
changing the troops was made to re-
call all orders which had gone out to
the Maryland officers.
The best solution for the difficulty
the Adiutant-General said. was the
plan which has been adopted of per-
mitting Maryland officers TO apply for
an Immediate transfer. These appli-
cations will be acted upon immediate
ly and all those who desire to train at
Admiral will be given authority to do
so. Already few of the Marylanders
expressed the desire 10 go to Camp
Meade and were accommodated by the
War Department. This circumstance
gave rise to the report that blanket
order had been issued sending all of
them to home grounds for the train
ing period

M|DDIES TO HAVE A
CIVILIAN COACH
GilmOr Dobie, Wizard OF West
New Football Mentor.
MAY HAVE FULL CHARGE
Officers Cannot Be Spared From Their
Duties With Fleet ArraDg-

A system of civilian football coach

Academy this fall. maybel
Golmour Dobie, the football wizard
from out of the West, is in Annapolis
today comforting with the athletic
officials of the Naval Academy rela-
tive to signing a contract as coach of
the Midshipmen football players
during the coming gridiron season.
Ii is expected the agreement with
Dobie will be closed today.
That Dobie will be given absolute
control over the material that comes
out for the team seems TO be the pre-
vailing opinion about the Academy.
, In that event. it will be the first time
| in the history of football at the Naval
school that a civilian coach has been
placed in complete charge. A COM
missioned officer of the service has
always acted in the capacity of head
coach, and besides a number of other
officers, former stars of Navy elevens.
have assisted in whipping the players
into shape Owing to the wr, how
ever, it is regarded as unlikely that
head coach or other service assistants
will be secured for this seasons grid
iron campaign, because they cannot
be spared from their duties with the
| fleet
When it was made known at the
Academy that Secretary of the Navy
Daniels had rescinded his original or
der by which football was placed un-
der the ban, it became necessary to
begin work looking to the arrange
ment of a new schedule on short no
tice. However, the athletic authorities
have made substantial progress and
| il is expected the new schedule will
| be announced within a few days.
West Virginia University is the latest
team to be booked The Morgantown
lads will play here on October 6.
For years Coach Dobie has turned
out championship elevens on the
Pacific Coast, and while Warner and
others are better known i'm the East,
no gridiron mentor ever has achieved
! more success than the man who put
the University of Washington on the
map He did not lose a game with his
team and he handled it several years.
| Last season Eddie Mahan and several
other stars were taken to the Coast in
an effort to lower Dobie's colors, but
Gilmour came off with flags flying.
Dobie resigned from the University
of Detroit to come to Maryland. He
was hooked by Detroit, after winning
| last years Coast championship and
reported there this summer, coming
from Seattle The squad turned out
by Detroit. it is understood, was too
small to suit the mentor and after
working out with the players several
days he announced he would resign
and accept the terms of the Navy.
| The famous coach was a gridiron
star at the University. of Minnesota
before he took up tutoring, and knows
the open game from to z.
| He should make a wonderful in
structor for the Middies. provided he
is permitted to have his own way with
the material.
