 Touching scenes were enacted as friends recognized friends and anxiety turned to joy and iu many cases hysteria.
 Crews Heroism Told.
 officers and passengers said the calm, quick work of the crew was responsible for the comparatively small loss of life. No panic ensued and the boats were filled rapidly and safely although the crash came without warning as the vessels were rounding the point.
 Engineer C. Christensen met death as he was climbing down the ladder into the engine room to be- gin his shift.
 Mrs. w. w. Washburn, one of the victims, might easily have saved her life. according to Mrs. s. w. Billinghurst. a survivor, but pre- ferred to die with her two little daughters.
 The Washburn family was on deck just before tltc crash and. the. two girls were pinned beneath falling timbers. The mother refused to leave them and when taken away by force broke away from her cap- tors and ran back to her dear ones. A moment later the vessel went down.
 Search for Bodies.
 Meanwhile the Tug Warrior put out from Port Townsend, Wash, searching the shore line in the vi- cnity of Point Wilson for survi- vors or bodies of victims but at a late hour today had reported find ing none. The search was then being continued.

Navy Relies on Its Clever
Line and on Wonder
full Backfeld.

NEW YORK, Nov. 25.-Bob Fol-
well. coach Of the Navy, and Maj.
DAILY. guide of the Army eleven,
spent a gloomy evening the night
before the big service game weep
ing over the chances of their respec-
tive teams.
with great tear drops glistening
in his eyes. FolwelI related how his
opponents are older. more advanced
in football learning, more expert
enced and in general far better
equipped than the Middies. And
Maj. Daily. with gestures Of utter
despair and detection, pointed to the
Nays great record as proof posi-
tive that the sailors have the game
packed away in their ditty box.
Between these two pessimists the
public wavered in its affections, dis
trustful Of the paper figures, rec
ords and statistics which prove"
beyond a doubt the superiority Of
the Annapolis men. Consequently,
what betting there was-and II was
very little-was conservative, and
the only odds were those given by
the men who never learn, even
from experiences such as Harvard's,
that there is some truth in the old
maxims:
appearances are deceitful." All
is not gold that glitters," and The
proof of the pudding is in the eat
ing"
Thirty years ago the two service
teams began their series OF annual
contests. OF these, each team has
won eleven times. The midship-
Dsen have carried of the last two
games-in 1919 and 1890.
Navy has lost once this year, but

chine. West Point has been de-
feated by Yale and Notre Dame
But in the Yale game the Army's

from the lineup until the last
Period when he went in and very
nearly turned the defeat into vic
tory by carrying the team twice

The Army pins its hopes on
French, Wood. Breidster, Greene,
and Garrish while the Navy, banks
heavily on its two great linesmen,
Larson and King. and a fighting
backfield composed of Barchet,
Noyes, koehler. and Cruise
Final workout for the Army and
Navy squads was staged today on
the Polo Grounds. The Cadets had
the field for two hours. during
which they went through snappy
signal drill and kicking and pass
ing work. The Midshipmen then
took the field and went through the
same program. Both coaches said
the players were in good condi-
tion and ready.
The regiment OF, Cadets from
West Point and the Midshipmen
from Annapolis will not arrive I'M
til tomorrow morning. They will
detrain near the grounds and march
to the field.

ANNAPOLIS. Md, Nov. 25.-An
Annapolis is agog tonight over the
prospects of the Army-Navy foot
ball game to be staged on the Polo
Grounds. New York, tomorrow at
ternoon-
with the football warriors already
camping nor far from the scene Of
the conflict. the Midshipmen of the

expectancy for the jaunt to Gotham.
They are prepared to do their best If
roofing can be counted a factor Of
deciding the issue of hostilities.
The Midshipmen. nearly 2.400
strong. will travel to New York by
battalions. one each being assigned
to four special trains, two over the
Baltimore and Ohio and two by
way OF the Pennsylvania Railroad
The Middies will be "tumbled" out
OF their cots long before gray
dawn, for reveille will be sounded
at 4:45 a. m. and hasty prepsra-
tions will be made for breakfast
and then form and march to the
respective trains which will leave
from the West street terminal of
the Washington. Baltimore and An
rapolis Electric Railway, the first
two battalions will go over the
L. & o.. leaving at $40 and $50
respectively. While the third and
fourth battaiions will entrain on
the Pennsylvania specials that will
leave at $50 and $40.
The regiment will be under the
command of Commander E. d.

folks left the city today or yester-
day. While others will get away
on the early morning trains.
The number Of civilian fans OF
Annapolis at the game probably
will be fewer than ever before,
owing to the great scarcity OF

By JACK NYE.

When the Southern conference,
recently formed by a majority of
Southern colleges to standardize
eligibility rules in sports, meets in
Atlanta next week, 1t is probable
that a new applicant for member
ship will be found in Catholic Uni
versity.
According to the statement of
various officials and students. there
is growing sentiment at the
Brookland institution for the adop-
ton of the one-year rule and other
eligibility restrictions.
With nearly all colleges of con-
sequence in this section and the
Middle South in favor of a stand
ard code of rules governing all
sports, the team that persists in fix
ing its own rules is sure to face
hard shedding in the future.
Rule Brings Benefits.
Aside from this feature, however,
1t is conceded by most coaches that
the one-year rule, instead of being
a handicap is an added asset in
building football team. Using
freshmen on a varsity team before
they have had a chance to absorb
the finer points of play has seldom
brought results. With the one-year
rule in effect, it is possible to give
these men full season Of train
ing before they are eligible for the
varsity eleven. Under this plan the
coaches are never at loss as 10
the real ability of the candidates
and usually find in them finished
products instead of green recruits.
Coach Curley Byrd, at the Uni
versity OF Maryland. has been fol-
lowing this plan for several years
though the one-year rule has not

been in force at the College Park
institution.
Credit must be given to the Uni
versity of Virginia for paving the
way for the adoption of the one
year rule in the South. While
practically every other college was
opposed to such a movement, the
Old Dominion institution put it in
effect and enforced it rigidly. Last
year, however, there was a sudden
reversal of opinion among college
authorities on eligibility restric-
tions. Georgia Tech was one OF
these and voluntarily announced
that first-year men would not be
allowed to play on that eleven.
South Atlantic Lax.
1t is not stretching the truth to
say that the eligibility rules in
the South Atlantic section in gen.
eral have been inexcusably loose.
The squabble between Virginia and
North Carolina which nearly
wrecked the Thanksgiving game
resulted from the use by the Tar
heels of Johnson. who had played
with another college last year
Virginia Poly stretched things a
bit, in the opinion of most critics
by playing Hess in the backfield
this year. though he performed
with Penn State in 1920. Other
South Atlantic schools appear to
be making their own rules as they
go along.
The result OF the general rebel
lion against such conditions wa,

Conference, which has become a
