M|DD|ES CONFIDENT
OF BEATING TIGERS.
FoIwell's Eleven Has Even
Chance Of Turning in Victory
Over Princeton Today
MacPHEE TO PLAY QUARTER

Annapolis, Nd, Oct. 1.-THE Mid
dies are all het up today. They figure
they have an even chance of beating the
1920 championship collegiate football
team. and enthusiasm is running TO the
point of fever heat. Also the future
admirals are taking the string of their
bnnkroll and placing the contents on
Bob Folwell's Navy eleven to pea,
Princeton in the classic battle that VIII
be waged this afternoon.
The Mddies do stand an even chance
of turning back the famous Tigers ana
! the players are confident that they VIII
accomplish the feat. The Folwell spirit
has been imbucd into the players, ana
they are ready to attempt revenge Tor
the 14-7 defeat administered by Coach
Bill Roper's eleven last season.
Princeton will not start the game
with it's full strength. SO the report
goes. Don Lourie, the all American
quarterback of last season. and Gar
rity, the line splitting back, are botn
out with injuries and it is said that
they are not in condition to play. Ney-
stitutes to swing into the breach. Mac
Phce probably will be in there calling
the signals and Newly is the likely
one to replace Garrity.
Roper is not at all confident OF the
Tigers coming through with q win. tic
realizes the power of the Navy team and
the efficiency of Folwcll's coaching. This
is combination that is hard to beat
and the Tiger tutor Is worried. Ihe
Orange and Black squad practircd at
the Johns Hopkins Field in Baltimore

lunch today.
The Navy has veteran bnckheId, but
only three of the four players who
started against the Army last year will

game today. These are COnroy. koeh =

much on a victory. As one of the vet.
Grams put it this morning: I'VE will
have our hands full. Swarthmorc has
n wonderful team, and not by way of
any alibi. but we are not as strong as
one might suppose. Mike Whitchlll,
our only punter, is on the side lines
for the start at least, and big Bill
Grave will probably be out of the con-
test altogether.
Take two veterans on whom n lot
of dependence has been placed out of
the lineup and the team doesn't look
so strong. However, all the bows at
breakfast agreed that they look for n
victory, but only after fight that will
! be remembered.
I From the head coach down 70 the
newest varsity player the same opinion
prevails-that Swarthmore has a won
dertul team this year and that the vic
! tory will only rest on Ben Franklin y
brow after battle all the way. Mercer
has team almost entirely OF veterans
who have learned his system, and
learned it well. Extensively they are
fiashy. and defcnsivcly they completely
surprised Princeton and expect to do
the same thing this afternoon.
Bill Ward, the mastodon tackle Of the
Penn eleven last fall is the line coach
at Swarthmore, and what he doesn I
know about Penn's system of line play
after working under both DR.. Wharton
and Gus Ziegler isn't worth the know
ing.
Ward, n former GEORGETOWN star,
has drilled his forwards in q defense
for the Penn system of play that will
be interesting to watch. Mercer, too, is

Add Moose To
State Game Park

Pierre, July S.-Apparently. after
several unsuccessful attempts in that
line; the state game park in the Black
Hills rs to have the start of a moose
herd added to the herds of buffalo,
elk, deer, and antelope already in the
park. The moose appear to be the
hardest of all the big game animals
to capture and locate outside of his
usual haunts.
The first effort to secure a moose
from Minnesota failed because the
captured animal killed itself in strug-
Cling after it was captured, and tied.
The second effort to get them from
Wyoming resulted in getting two to
the park, but these had so badly
bruised themselves in the shipping
crates that they did not live after be-
ing unloaded.
This year the captives were placed
in crates so padded that they could
not injure themselves in their wild
kicking and struggling, and three of
them were safely landed in the park,
and promise to be the basis of herd,
which will bring within the park spe-
cimens of practically all the large
game animals which ever roamed
over this part of the northwest.

Near Death When
Struck BY Yightning

Milbank, July S.--Two Grant coun-
ty people were struck by lightning
during a severe storm, but both mi
raculously secaped being killed. The
victims were Harry Roberts, of Twin
Brooks, and Mrs. Adolph Dochow, re-
siding a mile south of this city.
Mr.. Roberts, with other members
of the section crew at Twin Brooks,
sought shelter from the rain under an
overhead bridge two miles west Of
that place, and bolt of lightning
came down through the bridge and
knocked him rigid and for short
time it was thought he was killed.
He was rushed to doctor, and it was
found that one side of his body was
paralyzed.
During the same shower Mrs. Do
chow went to closce a window in her
home, and a bolt of lightning hit her
right arm, while doing so. She was
knocked down and was unable to use
her arm for short time, but is none
the worse for the shock now.
