U,th the changes made during the
crescent week three players VINO We're
regular varsity men last year anu
who played in the winning Sise
against the Army M nave ,era also
aawaiiahle last year, but who have IN
Sne opinion of Coach FolWel' gone
ahead of their rivals this season.
All three Of the original PLAYERS are
uniniured, and yet may pc caiieu

r,ree lads who were members OF
go years. class-McKee, Noyes ana
Ssrchet-showed promise OF consul
erable backfield ability. Mchee, now
eyNr. was chosen from the trio as
regular back; soyes Barehes ane e Showed
suel, Improvement this year that by
the dime the date Of the Princeton
pame-October 15-had arrived, ne
vas armly intrenched in the place
held by Mckee, and his work In that
and subsequent games has been such
that he Is recognized as one VI INC
best backs of the year.
Roli.s. regular left tackle last sea-
son and the occupant OF tne Same
position this season, has oeen dls-
placed by wiedorn. the move causing
no little surprise. Bolles is power
full youth, weighing 1856 pounds, and
q member of the championship acad-
emy crew. He played fine game,
and was given much commentator
for his work against Princeton ana
other teams. His work against
Pennsylvania State was not 80 satis-
factory.
Wiedorn took Kings place.in the
Penn State game, when the latter re-
tired for a time, and substituted for
Bolles on the other side of the line
when King returned to the game. He
did so well that Folwell felt that he
should be given further opportuni-
ties He has been, playing at left
tackle in all the practices of the
week. and probably will start against
the Army.
weighing about six pounds less than
Bolles, .Wiedorn Is, however, just as
strong, and has had more experience,
though not starting in so many big
games. For three seasons he has been
playing such good foot ball that he
has barely missed making a regular
place, and he has been in a portion
of most Of the big games played by
Der of the wrestling team.
Somewhat Of Surprise.
Still more surprise was occasioned
by the substitution of Cruise for Ham
ilton in the backfield. The latter has
sive back, and a few days ago no idea
was entertained that his services
could be spared. Cruise, however, has
also been playing we'll, and they are
players of much the same type. though
Cruise is somewhat heavier and shorter
than Hamilton.
While no fault could be found with
the work of Hamilton in the Penn
state game, Cruise, who played the
latter portion of the contest, rather
outshone him, particularly in his part
in the wonderful drive in the final
quarter. which so nearly gave the
midshipmen q second touchdown. 1t
is largely on this account that the
change was made.
Cruise was a regular back two sea-
sons ago. playing in the final game.
He was injured early last season and
it was during the period of his en-
forced retirement that Hamilton came
to the fore, securing an unbreakable
hold on the place. This year, their
work has been very even, but Cruise
has now forged to the front.
AS far as can be seen, this is the end
of the changes likely to be made in
the Naval Academy team, but SO
fixed and definite is the policy of CIV
ing places on the varsity to those
whose work shows them worthy of
them that more changes will be made
if any player shows that he is entitled
TO berth even at this period Of the
geaSOp.
