with University Of Richmond at West

The Techs emerged from the Centre
battle without a scratch. There vvs
no loafing on the part OF the Gobblers.

half. Tech made six first downs to-
Centres four. At the very opening Of
the contest the Techs found them

up until the end.
The first quarter, on account of the
rapid play of the Gobblers, was mar-ed
by continual conferences on the part

on the fourth play was such that f.e'd-

There ts q, general impression that
the Naval Academy has a considerably
younger set of men On it's teams than
OIL those of It's epP0HeRts.-The official
figures hardly bear this out, however.
1t will be seen that the average is quite
high. Parr, the youngest member Of
tho team, is nineteen; another,
Barchet, is twenty, and all the others
are twenty-one or over, two reaching
twenty-three. This compares favor
ably with any other college team.
Princeton will probably have a fair
advantage in the matter of weight.
One feature Of the game, to which
the local contingent and sport fol-
lowers generally look with great in
terest, is the duel between Stanley
Keck, Princeton captain and ALL

advantage of a good twenty pounds in
weight. but there is no feeling of
apprehension at Annapolis.
On the contrary, confidence is su-

King Is powerful man and clever
player, and is completing his fourth
season as regular at the Academy
His greatest achievement In sport was
the stroking OF the crew which won
the worlds championship at Antwerp

The showing of certain Navy backs

S|LES|A FARLEY IN
SUPREME COUNCIL
Will Present Views of U. S. If
zap Question Comes Up,
However.
~ International New. Service.

The State Department was officially
advised today that the next meeting
OF the Allied Supreme Council will be
cid about July 1, probably at Bou-
logne.
The question of the Upper Silesian
boundary dispute is expected to lead
TIE program of the Council. and Am
basssdor Harvey. who will personally
represent President Harding, will not
participate in this discussion. as this
Government holds that this is a mat
ter purely European for settlement
BY the European nations.
1t has been Indicated, however,
that the question of mandates may
come up, and in this event Ambassa-
dor Harvey will present the views of
the United States on the zap ques-
ton, pressing for recognition of the
claims of the United States that this
island shall be internationalized.
The zap question has been allowed
to lie dormant by the allies since the
last note sent by Secretary of State
Hughes, and IL Is believed that when
IT is taken up by the Supreme Council
that the views of the United States
will prevail.
1t has also been suggested that in
ternational disarmament may be laid
before the council for discussion II
che Upper Silesian dispute Is satis-
factorily and speedily settled.
