HERE'S ODD FREAK OF NATURE
Only One Of Its Kind in
the World.

One Of the most remarkable freaks
Of nature, If such Il IS. ever discovered
is % twin tree, an oak and elm grown
together. which is found on The ISLAND
occupied by the United States arsenal
at Rock Island. III The island IL
question is formed by two branches
Of the Mississippi river and embraces
some two hundred acres 1t Is covered
with a IuXurIant growth OF oak, elm
and various other species Of trees, but
the twin tree is the only n Of It's
kind on the island. or anywhere else
in the world. as far as is known, BY
some curious phenomenon, the trunks
OF the trees. which apparently were
growing side by side when saplings,
have merged into a single bole 10 Il
height Of seven or eight feet. At this
height The individual trunks separate,
each bearing It's own peculiar bark
formation and foliage, whereas the
Joint trunk seems to be q blend Of
both elm and oak bark # has been
estimated that the twin tree is over
a hundred years old, and Il Is possible
that tho indians who one camped on
the island may have had something
TO do. either by accident or design
with the peculiar formation.

contest against midshipmen in many
branches, but for the sportsmanlike
and considerate attitude of its ath-
letic authorities towards the Naval
Academy. In this II has shown a
great contrast to those conducting
certain sports at some institutions.
AS is generally known. 1t has been
very difficult for the Academy teams
to secure permission to contest away
from Annapolis, though the situation
is better now. Many teams have de-
clined to come to Annapolis because
the midshipmen could not play return
matches. Pennsylvania State, how
ever, has continued to send its teams
In almost all branches regularly TO the
Academy. This action is highly ap-
preciated here, and everything. pos
sible will be done to show that feel
ing.
AS important as the game with
Penn State is, II is not being for
gotten that after all the goal of a
Navy season must be to beat the
Army. In fact, victories over Prince
ton and Penn State would simply
make a defeat by the Army more
bitter, for 1t would be felt that the
Army was strong enough to win from
even Navy team of a much higher
standard than in ordinary years. 1t
may be regarded as certain that. no
matter how bad IL may be needed, the
Navy LIS not going to go the limit
against Penn State, but will have
something in reserve for the Army
team
Possibly One Change.
Barring more injuries and other
unforeseen circumstances, the Navy
will start against Penn State with q
team changed in possibly one par
ticular from that which started
against Princeton and which played
until the Tigers were routed. The
change may be that Clyde King, n
of four seasons and one of
the best tackles in the country, Is
not likely to get In the game, hav-
ing hurt his leg in the Bethany
game. His position may be taken
by Wiedorn, a powerful and expert
enced player. However, all nope
that King may be in shape to start
the game has not been abandoned, but
he will not start II not entirely fit,
for that would mean that his serv
Ices in the army game might be lost.
The splendidly co-ordinated back
field, with Conroy, Koehler, Hamil-
ton, Barchet, promises TO be ready
for the fray, and It will have such
backs as Cruise, Mckee,
Soyes, Norris, O'Regan, Hughes,
and Cullen in reserve. The
line, with the possible exception OF
King, will be the same which pre-
vented Princeton from making a first
iown during the whole game.

HUGO BEZDEK PERFORMS
WONDERS AT PENN STATE

Hugo Bezdek, who is In charge Of
athletics at Penn State. accomplished
wonders with mass athletics at the
Pennsylvania institution. Athletics
for all' has been the aim of physical
educators for many years. and Bez-
dek has carried out the scheme with
remarkable success.
He not only has interested practi-
cally the whole student body in some
kind of athletic pastime. but at the
same time has developed varsity
teams of high standard.
1t has been the contention of many
coaches that mass athletics has to
be carried on at the expense of spe-
cializing in varsity teams. but the
Penn State coach has riddled this
supposition.
q For the past few years he has de-s
veloped baseball mines and football
elevens which ranked with the oast
In the country. For two years the
baseball team has ranked with the
very best, and his football team this
year is going right along with the
leaders.

One Of Most Interesting Foot
ball Meetings of Season.

|UoLLEGE PARK, Md. Nov. s.
Coach Curley Byrd begins
TO put his University Of
Maryland grdmen through stiff
practices tomorrow In preparation
for their annual battle with Catho-
lie University next Saturday at
American League Park.
During the past few years q keen
rivalry has developed between the
Byrdmen and tho Catholic University
and the contest each year has proven
one OF the stellar attractions OF the
Washington football calendar. Mary
land has turned back the Brook
landers for two successive seasons
by the scores OF IA to and lS TO o.
respectively. but both battles pro-
ducsd the keenest kind Of rivalry.
Ope thing is certain and that is
Maryland will present its most for
midable lineup Saturday and another
certainty is that the Byrdmen will
be out there battling as only a Mary
land eleven can battle against a
Catholic University machine.
Brookland,s eleven win be out Civ.
ing the best that's in them 10 send
Maryland back to College Park with
the short end of the score. Zeks Bailey
said tonight that a mighty effort is
going to be made this week to get
all Maryland cripples back Into shape
by Saturday.
IL is Byrd's hope that the Black and
Gold will be able to present against c,
u. the same lineup which started
against Rutgers In Maryiand's first
game Of the season.
This has been impossible in games to
date owing to injuries suffered I'm the
Syracuse game. and other contests. In
short. Maryland's hope is that Bailey
sterling center, who has been out ever
since the Syracuse game. "Tater"
Clark, another strong lineman, and
McQuare, the sturdy fullback will be
back In the game on Saturday.
Bailey has been laid up with a dis
located Jaw. Clark with water on the
knee, and McQuade because of a bum
shoulder. Untz Brewer, far-famed
Maryland punter, has not been in the
best OF condition as the result Of a hurt
to his leg In the Syracuse game. But
Byrd has been nursing these men
along carefully and hopes to present
on Saturday the same combination
that hufnbled Rutgers by 3 to 0 at
New Brunswick on Ocober 1.
After the Catholic University
game Maryland will have only two
more contests to play. November 10
the Byrdmen will go up to Pittsburgh
TO meet Carnegie Tech and on No
vember "a viii conclude the campaign
with an engagement with North
Carolina State at Oriole Park, Balti-
more.
