WARDS ERROR PAVES WAY FOR GIANT VICTORY in SEVENTH
NAVY SCRUBSU Use
PRINCETON PLAYS;
SCORE ON'VARSTTY
Middies Will Not Be
Numbered in Big Game,
Officials Decide.

ANNAPOLIS, Nd. Oct. 12.-Coach
Folweli drove his Navy football
charges through a long. hard prac-
btice this afternoon in preparation for
the game with Princeton Saturday.
The varsity or "A" team was kept
on the defensive most of the time
during the long scrimmage.
Using Princeton's general style OF
play. the powerful second team
battered and rammed at the varsity
line and directed numerous plays
outside of tackle. The coaches
were thoroughly satisfied at the
work of the regulars, although the
scrubs once succeeded In invading
the varsity's goal line.
In course of the practice prac-
tically every player who Is likely
to be used against tie Tigers was
given a workout on the varsity.
Cullen, a halfback, who injured a
Saturday. has rapidly recovered, and
all of the other players are in
good physical shape.
Won't Number Players.
That the Navy players will not
be numbered in the big game
whereas the Princetonians will,
was the chief development in con-
nection with Saturdays battle.
Announcement to this effect was
made by athletic officials. Thus the
spectators will be able to more
readily learn the Princeton men
figuring in a play than they will
as to the Middies. except those

management has generally shown
an aversion to numbering their
gridiron gladiators, although Prince
ton and many other institutions
khave followed such a course for
several years.
Navy's lineup has not been def
niteIy determined. 1t Is practically
certain. however. that the backfield
quartet will be Koehler. Hamilton,
Conroy and Baro6et, with Conroy
giving the signals at the start. IL
is not unlikely that Noyes, who
looms up as the cleverest of the
backs. will start. although indica-
tions are that he will be held In
reserve until the work of the
above combination Is tried out.
Cadets Prepare for VI. Z.
Although II was expected that
Ethe St Johns College cadets would
be put through a hard scrirnmaFe
today, Coach Krebs devoted the en-
tire afternoon to drilling his pupils
along other lines. Rehearsing the
receipt of the kickoffs. handling
punts and deadly tackling by the
use of the dummy made up the
program. Krebs annoucned that
the team would be sent through a
hard scrimnage tomorrow.
All Annapolis Is pulling for the
Cadets to down the Marylanders,
although II is realized that the Col
| lege Parkers will present a more
experienced and heavier array Of
| players. But Krebs has whipped a
mighty strong combination into
shape for this time of year. out Of
scant material too, and those who
/ have watched the team in action
say that the Marylanders will have
anything but a tea party on their
hands. The game, IL is expected.
will be witnessed by the largest
crowd ever assembled about the
college gridiron, alumni of both in
stitutions from all over the State
and elsewhere will be on hand as
partisan rooters. and the crowd
will be swelled by many OF the
out-of-town folks who will get in
early for the Navy-Princeton game.
which begins at 2:3O in the after
noon. while the st. John's-Mary-
land battle will get under way at
1890 in the morning.
