Special Correspondence
ANNAPOLIS. Md, Jan. 3.--Rumors
that "Bo" Mcmillan, quarterback Of the
Centre College football team and the
choice of Walter Camp for the posi-
tion on the all-Amcrica eleven, will
enter the Naval Academy next spring
and become member of the navy foot
bsll squad are constantly heard here.
The reports started in New York
about the time Of the Army Navy foot
ball game and were heard at the places
where service people congregatcd.
They have been renewed, and it is
understood here that Mcmillan wants
to enter the academy, as he is still
young enough TO do so.
The foundation for the report ap-
pears to be several conversations which
took place at different times between
Mcmillan and Bill Ingram, who cup
tanned the naval eleven III 1918 and was
one Of Coach Giimour Dobic's assist
ants last season. Ingram is from
lucky player we'll. In fact, they used
TO oppose each other IN their high
school days.
Some years ago Ingram broachcd the
subject OF entering the Naval Academy
to Mcmillan. The later stated he would
do 10 IL he could get an appointment.
At u later meeting he told Ingram that
he could get an appointment and in
dicated that he intended to accept il
and take the examination for adn,is-
sion. The matter WAS talked about
among tho football players and coaches
and spread to the midshipnlan body.
When Centre College and Mcmillan
gained fame in the college football
world last fail the report was renewed

Revive Rum0rs That Mcmillan
May Play Football for Navy

Of the game against West Point
Upon the whole it seems unlikely
that, Mcmillan will come to the
academy. AS nothing further has been
heard in definite way about his ut.
tempting 10 enter, it is presumed that
he has determined to finish his course
at Centre College and, naturally, to
play football.
The matter brings out the fact that
the Naval Academy, chiefly on account
never received college player of
really great reputation, while such have
been numerous at the Military Acad
emy. Apparent exceptions are Hugh
Douglas and Jack Dalton, both backs
of the highest caliber; but both were
from institutions little known in sth.
iIetics, Douglas having played at the
University Of Tennessee and Daltor
with the eleven Of small Missouri col
lege.
|. On the other hand, the West Point
squads have constantly been replcn
ished with players who have ALREADY
been broken in at other colleges ans
who have acquired big reputation
before becoming cadets. This is DOS.
sible, as the minimum age Of entrance
at West Point is two years higher
than at Annapolis. Among these ma,
be mentioned Daily, Torney. Graves
Bunker. Doe. Pullcn, Hyatt. Oliphan
and McQuarrie.

B0WdOin Recovers
Bat after 90 Years

ROWDOIN COLLEGE has come
into possession of the baseball
bat, long in the keeping of the
Maine Historical Society, which was
used sixty years ago in the first
game ever played between that col.
tege and an outside team. The old
bat, made of spruce on the very day
OF the game. is about the size Of
bats still in use, and if the college
had won the game would doubtless
heve remained ever since in the
collegiate atmosphere.
But the Sunrise team, made up Of
boys from the town Of Brunswick.
defeated the collegians, in that day
OF long scores, to the tune Of as
to AZ, and the bat, inscribed with
the names of all the players, went
to the winners. Later they gave It
to the historical society, which
now presents it to the college.

that Duffy Lewis will be back and will

Boston ivy has been planted around
the mill buildings and in the course
of time these will be clothed in green.
Many trees have been planted around
the grounds and along the walks and
driveways, and on the school grounds.
One feature of the Improvement of
the scho, rounds which will attract
attention VII be the rock garden,
where big boulders placed there by
nature are being used to form the
basis for improvement and develop
ment. Dwarf pines and other shrubs
ARE to be planted with view to make
the garden thing of beauty and joy
forever.
With rose bushes, Towering
shrubs, vines and many flowers the
mill grounds will assume a far diff
ferent aspect in spring, summer and
fall than has been there wont in the
past.
Mr. Aiding in speaking of Able
vile was highly complimentary He
said that with very little work that
this town could be made one of the
most beautiful in the South. He
spoke of the natural advantages in
the way of trees, contours and shrubs
already planted. With proper direc-
ton and little care and attention in
the future he painted an inspiring
picture of this town as city beauti-
full.
He deplored the fact that Ameri-
can towns paid so little attention to
the esthetic and contrasted condi-,
tions in England and the continent
where so much attention was paid to
Landscape gardening.
Mr.. Aiding has promised to write
a resume of his work of industrial
developing and beautifying, bring
ing to bear on the subject his ex-
Iperience and observation in this

GHOSTS EMBOSSED CARD
BIDS FOR RINN'S $4,000

The Tribune has received copy of
a letter addressed to Joseph F.

Schilling, of COS Concordia Avenue,
Milwaukee, Wis, in which the writer
says that he will take Mr.. Rim up ON
your offer to pay $4,000 to any
one who can produce any message
from the spirit world"
The writer says he has such mes
sage sent to him by his spirit friends
on an embossed postal card and the
Spiritualists of Milwaukee need S5,-
900 to enlarge their hall. /
The embossed postal card from
spirit-land is inscribed with the
names of thirty-five dead friends of
Mr. Schilling His friends ghosts
wrote their names in the grooves
forming the reverse of the embossing
and one signature is so tiny that no
microscope in the world will enable
human eye to read it. That proves,
he says, that a ghost wrote it, so if
Mr.. Rim will just mail that $4,000 to
submit to further tests, the Milwau-
kee Spiritualists will put carpenters
to work on their hall right away.
