ing the loss of veteran linesmen
since last Saturday. With Schuster

Capt. Bentz and Tiny Mcmahon not
likely to start. Bezdek maintained a
gloomy outlook tonight.
State expects to be out-weighed,
but hopes to make up in speed and
skill against the heavy Midshipmen.
To win or even to tie with Navy
will accomplish wonders for the
Penn State machine in its coming
hard bouts with Carnegie Tech. Penn
and Pitt. They know the ability
and fight of the Navy eleven and its
desires for replacement in good
standing following the Penn de-
feat Saturday. Therefore state
looks for no snap.
The state military band of fifty

MiddieS Are Confident.
While the defeat by Pennsylvania
came as a great blow, it is felt it has
stirred the team to greater effort.
and Navy adherents feel confident
of victory over Bezdek's eleven. As
far as the players themselves are
concerned they are doubly anxious
To win. First to smooth the sore
spot resulting from last seasons
setback at the hands of Penn State
at Philadelphia. after a gruelling
battle. and secondly. th avenge in Il
