PUTS NAVY TEAM
IN SECOND PLACE

Daniel" of the New York Sun, one
of the fairest and most competent
sport writer's in the country rates the
football teams of the East this season
in the following order: Pittsburg,
Naval Academy, Syracuse, Rutgers,
Columbia, Pennsylvania, Sswarthmore,
Penn. State, Lehigh, Fordham, Brown,
Harvard. Boston College and Dart
mouth.
He admits thai his first choice of
Pittsburg over the Naval Academy will
be disputed, and it is, for it is gem
orally felt here that the midshipmen
had the strongest college team and
could have won from Pittsburg Dan
iel says that he believes the Naval
Academy would have been defeated by
Pittsburg, though they could have won
from any other team in The East. Each
one has his opinion on this matter.
Gait will be noticed that only east
ern teams are rated, this excluding
Georgia Tech. which would have had
to be fairly well up the list, and the
western teams.

MILLION AND HALF
NEEDED AT ACADEMY
Huge Sum For Maintenance Is
Asked From Congress For
Coming Year
DOES NOT COVER ALL

The sum Of two and half millions
~ dollars appears TO be a moderate
estimate OF the amount which the
naval Academy will need for mainte-
nance during the coming year, and
cer ainly it is not likely TO diminish
,t anv time in the future The sum of
81 4g2 500. practically million and a
half IS asked from Congress for the
maintenance alone. including pay of
civilian professors and instructors
and employees, while the sum of a
million Is a moderate estimate of the
nav OF commissioned officers and en-
listed men atached to the Academy.
This Of course, is not included in the
estimate
OF the sum asked Congress, $780,
900 Is to cover general repair of build
ings and maintenance, as compared
with S557 900, last year. The great in
crease in the buildings, notable Ban
croft Hall and the marine engineer
ing building. easily account for this

cost $752, ,610, compared to 643,112 last
year. For the commissary depart
ment. S121,2S0 is asked, and S150,000
as an emergency fund for the employ
ment of such additional help as the
Secretary of the Navy deems nsces-
sary.
This huge sum does not include,
however, the amounts to be spent on
permanent additions and improve
ments. some of which have been au-
thorized. and others projected. Two
millions and a half have been author
lied 20 be expended for the seaman
ship and navigation building and the
auditorium The former has been
planned and work will begin shortly
It will cost nearly a million dollars.
Addition as TO the engineering build
ing and the construction of building

almost certain to come within a short
time, while new chapel, large enough

lis can look forward TO a tremendous
influx Of money at the Naval Academy

REV. ]. A. BRISCOE
MAKES DENIAL
Declares That States Attorney Green
Never Asked Him To Call
To See Snowden

In an interview with a Capital rep
resentatiye this morning. the Rev.
James A. Briscoe. pastor of Mount
Moriah A. NJ E. Church, made the fol-
lowing statement.
States Attorney Green has never
asked me 10 call to see Snowden. 1t
was the request of Snowden that ad-
minister to his spiritual needs and for
some time | did so, but for some rea-
son unknown TO me, was refused ad-
mission without a permit, which l did
not get. So have not seen Snowden
since the first OF August
"A Mr. j. Smith called to see me to
know If | would again go to see
Snowden, but for reasons, / though it
best to stay away from the Jail alto
gether. We who are interested in the
Snowden case. and are following our
convictions. have decided not to pay
any attention to the many statements
made by the papers, but / make this
statement to deny that Mr.. Green has
ever approached me in any way rela-
tive to John Snowden.
dIn ihcilHeu u lniilh tndt SUCH
articles do more harm than good.
Again, now is the time for action.
Life is the great institution. A poor
ignorant, unfortunate, helpless young
man with soul like others is awaiting
his doom. And to stir up feeling by
saying things that are not true will
not help his case.
las in regard to his treatment, when
was visiting Snowden he was reeciv-
ing just as good treatment as one
could expect in jail"
