GUARD POSITIONS
WORRY FOLWELL
Plugging of Holes Left by
Moore and Wilkie, Coach's
Biggest Task.

ANNAPOLIS. Nd. Sept. I0.-The
excellence of the old football ma
terial at the Naval Academy has
had the tendency of focusing at
tention upon it to the disregard of
that which was offered by the new
class. The work with the new
squad of $50 members during the
last ten days has, however, indi-
Gated that the squad will receive
considerable additional strength
from this source. The special prob
lens of Coach Bob FolweIl and his
assistants are: % The development
of two guards to take the place
of Moore and wilkie. who have
graduated; (2) Fixing upon the
right man to I'LL the position of
right end, vacated by Even, and
incidentally the development of
several good change ends; ca The
improvement of the kicking depart
ment of the team, particularly as
to punting.
The new class is being culled
over with special reference to these
problems. While the chief resources
as to all of them will be in the
old players, it is recognized that
much help may be secured from
the new class, particularly in ref
erence to kicking. The new squad
has been at work since the first
Of the month. though the extreme
heat has kept IT. back to some ex-
tent, and the showing of a number
of the youngsters has been most
encouraging.
powerful stroke OF the varsity
eight, will almost surely make one
of the guards. He weighs 100
pounds and has had three years
of football at the Academy. He
probably would have made the
team two seasons ago but for a
bad knee, which now appears to be
in good shape. He is a very
rugged. Manipulating man and
should be well up to the standard
of last years powerful guards.
The three best men for the other
guard positions which the old squad
offers are Carney. Dahlgren and
winkjer. Carney weighs 205
pounds. has height, speed and fair
experience and needs only persist
ence to develop into a very high
grade man. Dahlgren is an oars
man. and Winkjer a swimmer.
They weigh about 100 each and
have developed greatly since last
season.
