Western Elevens Take
Bull By Horns
On Gridiron

Out West they have the fashion
Of seizing the'bull by the horns and
settling the issue without any fuss
or rumpus. For instance, Chicago,
which will tackle Princeton at
Princeton this year will begin on
Northwestern, following up with
Purdue, Princeton, Colorado, Ohio
State, Illinois, and Wisconsin. For
a team which will play a Far
Western team and an Eastern
team, plus the pick Of the Confer
ence elevens, this much may be
said: It has the champion schedule
Of the season. They are nothing II
not cheerfully optimistic on the
shores of Lake Michigan.

Eligibility last June, SO they say,

The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1921-09-22

With the entire backfield OF last
season, and nearly all of the strong
or substitutes, and with line made
up of four of the regulars and three
strong substitutes who played last
year. the Navy should have a big
start on most Of its opponents.
In addition to this, there were OPP
portunities for practice at Christiania
and Gibraltar during the summer
cruise, and these were beneficial.
finally, the cruise itself afforded the
finest kind of hardening process
for the players.
How They VIII Play.
The probable lineup at the start
Of the game will be. Left end, Parr;
left tackle, Bolles; left guard, Car
ney; center. Larson (captain); right
guard, Frawley; right tackle; King;
right end, Titus; quarterback, Koch
Ter; left half, Conroy; right half, Nc.
Kee: left half, Hamilton, fullback.
Rawlings, Noyes, Cruise, Cullen,
Rooney, and others are practically
certain to get a chance in the back
field at some stage of the game, and
changes will also be made in the
line, particularly at guard, where
both players are new men in the
varsity lineup.
All the backfield regulars appear
to have gained somewhat in weight,
and lost nothing In speed and ac-
tIvity. Hamilton is the heaviest Of
the four, weighing about 1S5. Con-
roy, a very fast man, who promises
to do exceptional work this year.
weighs 175. Koehler and Mckee
are weighing ITO and 1866, respec-
lively.
All are experienced players and,
with the numerous high-grade sub
stitutes behind the line, the Navy
should be among the best equipped
OF the college squads in regard to
backfield material.
Line VIII Be Heavy.
The outlook is that the Navy line
will also be as heavy as that of last
year, in spite Of the graduation Of
Willkie, the biggest line man the Navy
has ever had. Carney, who is taking
his place, weighs EOS pounds, which Is
about ten pounds less than Willkie.
On the other hand, Frawley, who Is
at right guard, Is about five pounds
heavier than Moore, who he succeeds.
heavy as Even, last years captain,
while the four old men have probably
gained pound or two on the average
While the squad IL 30 well supplied
with veterans that an eleven Of proven
worth can be selected from the start,
Folwell has made IL clear that all po-
sitions are open. and that the best
men will, land the places no matter
what their length of service may be.
An unusually large number Of new
midshipmen has been placed on the
first squad, and every encouragement
given them to win a place on the
varsity during their first season, az
Mckee and Moves did last year.
