The new class Is being eulled over

FrawIey Sure Of Position.
1t is conceded that Frawley.' the
powerful stroke Of the varsity eight,
almost surely will make one of the
guards. He weighs 100 pounds, and
has had three years of football at the
academy. He would probably have
made the team two seasons ago but
for a bad knee, which now appears TO
be in good shape. He Is very rugged.

offers are Carney. Dahlgren and

and needs only persistence to develop
a hiRh-grade man. Dahlgren Is an

developed greatly since last season.
The new class contains two prom

One of these is Long, weighing zos
pounds, who played the position on
the Swarthmore eleven last season
and the other Is Hudgins, an ex

mountains OF Tennessee, whose
weight is 222 pounds. Both have
been getting into shape by boxing

The matter Of the punting during
the coming season Is a very serious
one, as for two years the Navy team
has been far below par In this i'm

Navy, the Army eleven also showed
up badly In this line in the fina
game, but the Navy team was at q
disadvantage in nearly every other
game during the season. ~. ...
