Haughton is still an outstanding fig
ure at Harvard despite the fact that
he is no longer hailed as the command
erin chief OF the local gridiron forces.
Head Coach Bob Fisher is a protege Of
Haughton's; IN fact. many say that
the Old Master was responsible for the
big mentor entering Harvard. At any
rate. when Percy saw fit to retire per-
manently at the height of his success

BOW[ERS,SEEK
PRIZES WON IN
LAST TOURNEY
Six Months Late, They Give
Treasurer Boss an Un-
justified Task.
BY X. ID. THOMAS.

Six months late, number OF
bowlers who won prizes in the Wash
ington City Duckpin Association
tournament last spring are now try
ing TO collect. They will be rewarded,
hut not until Nick Boss, treasurer,
has checked over an old list OF the
prize winners 10 see who has not been
paid.
Faithful Nick was at his desk
nightly for two weeks at the Grand
Central waiting for the dilatory ones
to claim their winnings. Plenty OF
notice was. given when the prizes were

few instances on record where there
wasn't a cyclonic rush to capture
easy com.
Loses Prize List.
Boss filed away in an inside pocket
the checked list of prize winners in
the hope Of tTansacting business then
and there when he should chance to
meet those TO whom the association
still owed money. The thing became
A nuisance. Finally, he lost II, some
time during the summer.
That was the only complete record
of prizes given out and prizes due, and
Nick is now engaged in the irksome
task of digging through papers. and
his memory, to find out for sure the
bowlers yet to be paid off. Ii IS an
unjustified sequel to the thankless eff
forts Boss put forth in helping TO run
the tournament.
Want Meeting.
1t has been the desire of several Of
ficials Of the association to call a meet
ing of the board of directors to
straighten out a few business kinks
and to discuss several important ques-
tions concerning the game in general.
The meeting apparently is being
held up by the diSinterestedness OF
the associations president.
One. of the matters TO be put before
the meeting, If The associations presi.
dent finally calls one, will concern un-
paid prizes. Boss believes ii would be
advisable to set a time limit for
howlers to claim their tournament
money TO avoid such difficulties as the
present one, and TO turn into the as
sociations treasury all money un-
claimed after a stated time.

Larson And Bolles
Both Served AS
Enlisted Men

Captain Larson, center of the
Naval Academy, served as a ma
rine and Bolles, left tackle, was a
seaman and saw active duty during
the war, crossing the ocean ten
times with a transport. The A..
e. F. is also represented on the
squad, though not by a regular.
Powell, a member of the new
class, who is making an active
fight for the center position, saw
active service in the trenches of
France during the war.

Last Saturday II went into what its
coaches had intended TO be the final

officials with no other alternative than

Although the battle ended in rather
novel fashion II gave Fordham rooters
plenty OF grounds for optimism. They
found that In Meyers they had a punter
whose kicks averaged near the half
century mark all through the fracas;
that in Downey, Shankey, Brickley and
Coniffe they had four quarterbacks
any one of whom would rank as a
first string pilot at the average medi-
um sized college and that their line
could hold in the pinches. The latter
fact was demonstrated in the second
period when the visitors lost the ball
within half foot of the Fordham goal
line after four valiant attempts to put

IA Respect Penn State.
Pennsylvania State is tremend-
ously \rsspected opponent in every
bne of sport in which il opposes
the Navy, Its spirit in sending its
teams, particularly It's boxers and
wres,lers, to Annapolis year after
year, and the fine contests they
furnish, has won great respect and
regard among Naval people. Every.
one here knows that Penn State In

Lions" are freely accorded their title.
In Bezdek. II is known that Penn
State has an able and resourceful
coach. and that a tremendous effort
will be made TO develop an eleven
strong enough to win on November
IL.
There is more chance OF change in
the Naval Academy team through the
development OF some substitute than
through injury, though, of course, in
juries may come in an unexpected
way. However. except in very few
positions the Naval Academy Is in
splendid shape for substitutes. and It
would take a remarkable series of ac-
cidents to diminish greatly the strength
OF the eleven.
The ousting OF regulars by substi
tutes has happened in several in
stances and may happen again. Two
backs, now on the squad, who played
regularly among the first selections
and who have started in Army con.
tests are now reiegated. for the time al
least to the second squad These are
Cruise and Mckee. Cruise had a firm
hold on a backfield position two sea
sons ago, and started the same way
last year. An injury put him back al
the opening Of last season. and Ham
nton came along 80 strong that Cruise
never won back his old place
Barchet Replaces Mckee.

placed Mckee. who held down q reg

The next possibility Is that Noyes,

in one or more departments.

Dear Sir: / would like a little
space in your paper TO tell some of
my friends how ! was made the
laughingstock Of about so of my
family and relativesSunday. They
got together and plotted against
meand my wife and bynice smooth
talk persuaded us to 90 out to visit
Clint Simpsons for a few days as
Mrs. Simpson had some work she
wanted me to do for her.
Clint and wife came after us,
making an excuse to go by way of
Roy Ross's and when we got there
we found one Of the noisiest laugh
ing crowds ever saw. And there
was with my work-day clothes
on and they all in their Sunday
best and l was struck very force
ably with the fact that our fifti-
eth wedding anniversary was right
, here and everybody prepared for
it but me.
Well, we have lived through it
all even though they did try to
founder us on all kinds of good
things, but must confess that it
was the most complete surprise
that | ever enjoyed.
The children played base ball
and the men pitched horseshoes.
Everybody was feeling happy and
full of fun and laughter. I'll bet
they won't catch me that way
next time. Yours truly,
