New Workers Likely to Make
Offer to Navy Mentor-Mat-.
thews' AII-Maryland Team.
BY n. c. BYRD.

Gilmour 'Dobie may take charge Of
the Colgate foot ball squad in 1913.
Colgate is much dissatisfied with its
coaching system. Of last fall, the sue
cessor to Larry Bankhart being con-
sidered to have made. a failure of the
job. Something of an effort. now is
being made by Colgate to get in touch
with the Navy mentor and II it is q
question Of salary with him the chances
are he will be with the New. Workers
in 1918. That is. of course, unless the
Navy is willing to offer quite an, in
crease
While a probable offer from Colgate
to Dobie is real news, it is unlikely
that Dobie will be DESTROYS of leaving
the Midshipmen. at least for the period
of the war; because right, at Annapolis
Dobief has better chance to come
through with successful elevensf than
at any college and Dobie will not over
look that phase Of the situation, The
period of the war ought to be the hey
day Of successful athletics at the Navy,
because 1t has more students In COM
parison to other. institutions than has
ever before been the case.
Starr Matthews, sporting editor of the
Baltimore Sun. has picked first and
second all-Maryland elevens for the
season which closed with the big game
between State and Hopkins in Ba1ti-
more on Thanksgiving day. He gives
State two men, Hopkins and st. Johns
three each, Western Maryland two and
Washington College one. Here are his
selections for the first and second
string combinations:

Stubs and Fletcher, the two State
players given positions on the all
Maryland selection. were unquestfona-
bly, the best in their positions to be
found on the teams in Maryland. When
it is considered that Stubhs was handi-
capped all year as an end because he
was used mostly at tackle in four con-
tests, his work in the flank position
against Hopkins and ". NJ /. was ex-
ceedingly good. Stubs next fall ought
to be one of the best fankers in the
south Atlantic section. Fletcher was
a brilliant ground gamer and. had he
measured UP in defensive play to his
offensive, he would have ranked with
the most capable backs IN the south.
The margin on which .Heeht OF. Hop
kins was given preference over .Coster
of State for center must have been in
passing, because otherwise Coster was
just as good II not better than the
Hopkins player. Macdonald. fullback
on the second eleven, is the former
Central High School captain.
Matthew'S team Is about as good as
any all-Maryland eleven that could be
selected. unless, the positions of the
mem were interchanged. His selections
do not leave much roonl-for argument
His placing Of Mornhinweg at guard on
the second eleven iy quite a tribute
to that player, as the youngster never
had foot ball suit on before last
September. -

PROPOSES HOME
GUARD FOR SULPHUR

Sulphur. Okla. Sept 11.-(Special)-
Charles w. Kay, who lives a few miles
south Of Sulphur. as a former member
of troop d, First Cavalry, saw active
service on the border. He is anxious
TO organize a home guard company for
Sulphur. At the suggestion Of G. II.
Harris. secretary Of the Chamber of
Commerce. he is organizing a mount
ed company OF home guards for Drake
this county. His experience in the
United States cavalry will make him
a valuable instructor in this work. This
will be the first home company TO be
mounted which will act as a cavalry
organization in this state, and is a
good move for other rural sections to
adopt. There will be twenty members
in this company and drilling will begin
September 10. Mr. Kay. who is half
Chickasaw, has an honorable discharge
because Of disabilities. from the United
States army.
