! ANNAPOLIS, Nov. 29.-Robert
c. Folwell, who has achieved so
much success as coach of the win
ming Naval Academy eleven this
season, is expected to sign four
Year contract in few weeks. Acad.
emy authorities are we'll pleased
with him, and he seems satisfied
with surroundings here. 1t is un-
derstood that Folwell will consider
some minor details, and then affiX
his signature to the contract, which
means that the Naval Academy foot
ball eleven will be all set for the inn
mediate future.
Shattering custom of long stand
ing, the football captain for 1921 has
been named already, Emery L. Larsen.

being chosen by his fellow-players
while travelling here from New York
after the victory over the West Point
eleven at the Polo Grounds. The GUS
tom has been to delay the selection
FOR at least two weeks.
Larsen has played center for two
years and IL one of the three mem
bers of the squad who will play their
tnal season next fall. the other two
being koehler and King. Larsen
plays with the lacrosse team as well
as on the football eleven.
NAVY is SATISFIED.
Naval people are distinctly satisfied
with the showing of the Academy
team against the Army eleven on Sat
urday. While the game was not quite
un to the standard which had been
ENpected. for which weather condi-
'tions We're n good deal responsible.
the Navy was clearly tn" better team
in one OF the hardest-fought games
or the season. Enough football was
SHOWN by the Navy team, it is
rhought. to estsblisch its right to be
considered among the best
Iho victory creates highly inter-
"stinS situation for next year. The
series now stands tic at eleven
Games, and it is perfectly realized
both at tho Naval and Military Acad-
cmics that everything possible will
ho done at each place 10 develop a
team which can win the rubber

The Navy team loses three men by !!
graduation. They are good men
Captain Even, right end. and the
guards Moore and Willkie-but this |
is very moderate loss upon the
whole. Four linemen. all the first |
string backs and most Of the substi-
tutes in both departments will be !
available. so far as graduation is |
concerned, though they may be sepa-
rated from the Academy for other
reasons. This will be the foundation

While no fault is found with King
and Bolles. the tackles they are
pressed so closely, by Wiedorn and
Carney that they will have to fight

even if new men do not develop.

in the second and class squads Of this

may produce.
There are great possibilities in the
