OF the Navy quartet Ingram is really
brilliant. He has not been running

but his scoring record Is the highest

touchdowns, and does all the kicking
of goals from touchdowns.
Whelchel, q former Western High

NAVY STRONG FAVORITE
TODEFEAT GEORGETOWN
By LOUIS A. DoUGHER.

ANNAPOLIS, Nov. 10, Uncle
SANS Middies are thoroughly con-
WINGED that Gilmour Dobie's eleven
will triumph today on Farragut Field
over Georgetown. So strong is their
conviction, odds leaped to the SKY
here today before the Hilltoppers
had appeared. The few Blue and
Gray adherents drifting IN early
from Baltimore TO see the annual
skirmish were offered odds q 5 to /
that the Sailors would win.
The wonderful record Of the Mid
dies, who have scored S34 points
against 13 for six opponents, JUS
titles these odds. Not Q cadet can be
found who isn't willing to bet his
holeprocfs that today the Navy will
run up at least five touchdovns on
the Blue and Gray contingent from
Washington.
Georgetown. on the other hand,
while unwilling to predict q victory
over the Middies, insists that It will
be no runaway, even II Coach Exen-
dine has a badly battered brigade and
bolster up their spirits with the
thought that never has q George
town varsity eleven gone into a game
on the short end Of big odds but 1t
maed good, either winning or hold
ing q stronger opponent to a small
score.
GeOrEetOWn In Weakened.
For this game OF games today
Georgetown is greatly weakened.
Leo Cody has but '1st recovered from

. lame shoulder, injured in the Ford
ham game. Bob zuger, the chunky
guard, totes q charleyhorse that
greatly interfsres with his playing.
However, the lighting spirit OF the
HiIltoppers never was better. They
are going to make the Navy go some
for their victory.
The rather unexpected return Of Capt.
Petite Wall to the Georgetown squad is
cause for great rejoicing. The veteran
fullback, whose defensive game is quite
the best OF the entire Blue and GRAY
squad. will start today against th3 Md
dies That he is in good CT ndltIJu Is
shown by tho fact that he has been

eleven, coached by Percy Haughton. the
Harvard mentor and neal OF the Boston

IN touch with the progress OF the eleven

THE DETERIORATION OF A Ma
TIONAL FIGURE

1t has been but little more than four
years since Champ Clark, the present
speaker of the house of representa-
tives. was a candidate for president OF
the United States OF America, the
most exalted office on earth, and re-
ceiVed largely more than a majority
of the votes of national convention.
If he was a big enough man for the
office at that time he has deteriOrated
wonderfully since, and the more he
says the more the country is made
aware of the calamity that it fortu-
nately escaped.
He recently vacated his chair TO
oppose the presidents war measure.
and here is sample of what he said
"A lot Of old skunkers all over the
country who think that nobody IS go
ing to he forced into this war except
boys from 10 to %. and that their mis-
cradle. cowardly hides will be safe,

keep TOO long, ! Will run few out

Poor old man, He seems to have
been embittered by defeat. and is rap
idly going into an inocuous decline.

measure but did not make such a
poor exhibition Of his opposition as
did his more distinguished namesake.

HENRY WATTERSON'S LETTER
TO CHAMP CLARK

AS an old and steadfast friend.
whom you have sometimes honored by
calling him your teacher. | am con
strained to challenge the vote it is
reported you are about 10 cast upon
the army bill II the war should last
long enough to put the issue TO actual
test, it will surely return TO dog your
political future and bar your useful
ness in public life. Our beloved cOun-
try never faced more exigent situa
|tion. Congress will make mistakes at
the peril of all We hold near and
dear. The volunteer system like the
stage coach, served it's purpose in
primitive times, but like the stage
coach it proved unequal to the ex
banding needs of modern times. The
selective draft system is the contribu-
ton which experience offers to intel
ligence The talk about Prussianiz
in our army is the chatter OF unre-
fiected demagOgy. We must meet or.
ganism with organism and fight the
enemy with both hands. not with one
hand tied behind us Out here in
Gods country the people understand
the question perfectly. They know
that the volunteer system favOrs the
Stacker and the shirk, while the Sc.
lective draft system is fair to each
apd every man, but, above all, they
know that the volunteer system has
been a failure wherever tried, and
seeking efficiency they prefer the Sc
lective draft system, just as seeking
speed they would prefer locomotive
to an OK cart. | am distressed that
you cannot see your way to this view.
but seem about to ally yourself with
a policy of obstruction which can only
embarrass us and aid the enemy And
it is in deep solicitude for our coun-
try and sincere affection for you that
venture to Obtrude this protest.
