GREATER STRENGTH
FOR M|DD|ES NOW
Lafayette Will Face a More
Powerful Team Than Tar
Heels Tackled.
~ HUGH N. RILEY.

| ANNAPOLIS, Oct. 6.-Tbe Naval
Academy Will present easily 90 per
cent more individual strength against
Lafayette next Saturday than Il did
against North Carolina State, which
took the local team into camp last
| naturday, and whatever improsem Mt
IN team play which can be evolved
| through the efforts OF Coach Folwell
and the members OF his stan and the
utmost determination on the part of
every member OF the squad. The Ma
val Academy has refused 10 be dis
eouraged over this unexpected de
Feat however keenly II may feel Il.
North Carolina State had a team Of
real strength and the general YER
diet here ID that IL will make a repu-
| tatlon during the season. Also, IL
had been perfected 10 a remark able
degree, considering the period OF the
season, In fine variety OF plays.
which the green Navy team was not
able to handle.
The game, however. pointed out the
weak spots OF the local eleven, and
was not without its points OF en-
eouragement. with certain holes
plugged up and the addition OF the
other men to the squad. the Academy
IL expected TO yet evolve a team OF
| high standard.
| These additional players. most of
them members OF the crew which
won the worlds championship at
antwerp. have Joined the squad:
King, Moore, Sanborn. WiIlkie, Wal
lace. Richards. Nilsson. Niemeyer,
Bolies, Frawley. Rowland, Bodies,
Renard and Gallagher. Huntington is
also expected to play football
These men are from $50 to 215
pounds In weight and all have had
football experience. They have
played at tackle. guard or center, but
1t is quite possible that backs or
ends may be developed from some of
them.
Willkie is the 215-pound wrestler.
He was on the football squad last
year. and has played lacrosse or
wrestled almost continuously since.
He made fine showing at the
Olympic games and, with the other
members of the squad. kept in con-
dition by pitching coal on the way
across the Atlantic.
King is regular right tackle, the
man who scored all the points in the
army-navy game last season by kick
ing two field goals from placement.
Moore has been regular right guard
for two seasons, and a most reliable
player. Sanborn is the substitute
center.
Boles and Frawley are both power
full and active fellows and had fne
chances to land regular positions last
| season, but injuries frustrated them
Gallagher. a regular member of the
| champion crew, Is splendidly put up
for the game. Huntington played
guard on the eleven of st. Paul School
before coming to the Academy.
| All Of the others had at least one
years experience on the Naval Acad-
envy squad. Nilsson is the champion
heavyweight boxer Of the Academy.
and won the first intercollegiate hon
ors last season. These facts indicate
! the character of the men who are ex..
| pected to strengthen the Naval AcAd-
envy lineup.
A very great lack of ends devel-
| oped in Saturdays game. Captain
Even played a fine game on the right
| flank. but has no good substitute in
sight. while neither Fleming. Taylor
nor Swart, who were tried on the
other side, did much defensiveiy,
though Swart took the forward pass
| in. good style. The backs were slow
| in starting. though this may have
been due to failure of the line men to
make openings.
At any rate, great improvement
In this point may be expected In a
| week. Noyes, Plebe. from New
York Military Academy. did really
fine work In the backield, and looks
like a coming star, while Barchet
another recruit from Johns Hopkins,
also did good work.
