NAVY'S BACKFIELD
 RANKED AS BEST

varsity for his fourth season. Koehler does not get clear of the secondary defense for a long run, but he is re- markable for his ability to use even a small opening for a very substantial gain. Along the line he has hard ly an equal.
 Many persons here are looking to Moves and Conroy to develop real brilliancy in running with the ball. Moves played in most of the Rsince- ton and Army games last year and was the NavyS most brilliant per former. He is heavier and stronger this year and should have a good season. Conroy has plenty of speed and weight and has every mark of a fine running half.
 Strength Lies in BackfieId.
 Mckee and Hamilton, though they made places last year and performe d well, will have to work hard to hold their places this season. Mckee is a good running back and good interfer- CT, while Hamilton, a big, strong lad, is hard line hitter and excellent defensive player. They will have Moves Rawlings, Cruise and Barchet the back field.
 The outlook is for one of the most powerful lines of recent years, as there are several veterans and an abundance of powerful fellows from last years second eleven and from the new class. The Navy's greatest strength will lie this year however in the best baci1field material it has ever had, and in this particular it is felt that 1t is in better shape than any other college in the East.

Annapolis. Md, Sept. 27-Confi- dence in fhe strength of the~ Naval Academy football team for the com ing season is based largely on the re- markable array of backf1eld talent which is available. A stiff, hard fighting line has been quite the usual thing at Annapolis for a good many years, and occasionally there has been a great back, like Douglas or Dalton, but never has there been such a large number of really high-grade backs as are now on hand.
 The squad did not lose a regular but one or two of the substitutes Several of the old men are expected to reach a high standard this season and all are likely to snow improve rnent Then there is a big new class with a lot of ambitious and active youths, and there is little doubt that it will yield something.
 The backfield which started against the Military Academy last year was made up of Koehler, Conroy, Mckee and Hamilton. Moves, Rawlings, Cruise and Barchet compose another combination which is probably just as strong Other good men who are still available are Matthews, Taylor, Walker, Mills and Cullen.
 Koehler on account of his exper- fence, and cleverness, is probably the most valuable of the backs, if not the most brilliant. He is playing on the
