~ NNAPOLIS, Oct. lathe
~ football game at Annapoiis
on October 21 between the
5 Naval Academy and Georgia Tech
will assume decidedly inter-
sectional color from the fact that
the Navy team this year is COM
4 posed almost entirely OF mid-ship-
men from two general sections:
The team, as it now appears, VIII
be composed Of players from sne
section west of the Mississippi
river and from the Middle States
Ordinarily, the different sections
Of the country are well represented
on Naval Academy teams, though
the West has a somewhat larger
proportion than other sections.
This year. there Is not regular
player who comes from New Eng
land, the South or the Middle west
It also happens that eleven ui.
ferent states are represented py
the eleven first choice players.
The first team. as 1t would prob
ably be ricked today, with the
States of its members, is as Lol-
IOWHs- lfEIl emu, oil ANf~t
tackle. Levensky, Nebraska; left
ruard' Carney, New York: center,
Mathews. Colorado; right guard.
Lentz. New Jersey; right tackle,
ghewelI. Missouri; right end, ray
lor. oklahoma; quarterback, Con-
roy (captain), Utah; left halfback,
Cullen. District of Columbia; right
halfback, Mckee or Hamilton, both
from Pennsylvania; fullback. Bar
chet. Maryland.
There would be some chance that
Bolies, who is from washington
S.r.e would be chosen as a tackle,
an ssibility that Flippen, Of
3 ISs light get in the back
fiei. ne only first
team = not from
one of ms.
.es Tl. ting.
The game wI,-- orgia Tech will
be unique in several particulars.
and will be by far the most inter-
esting of the home games which
the Naval Academy win play this
year. The teams of these institu-
tons have never met before, and
alumni OF Georgia Tech generally,
ms well as people from Georgia and
neighboring states now living in
this section, will come to Annapolis
to support Tech. They win be
seated together in one of the
stands. and the roofing promises
to be a big feature.
The game should be on great in
terest from an athletic standpoint
also. The Navy Is likely to have
Zone OF its best teams this year, and
is heavier than ever it has been.
In the backfield It has a remark
able. aggregation of veterans, in
cluding Barchet, undoubtedly one of
the great college backs of the sea-
bon. While probably not playing
quite such fast ball as the Geor-
CLANS, the Navy has great variety
of attacks, including many styles of
the forward pass, from the short,
straight pass, expected to gain but
q few yards. TO the touchdown
plays. Therefore, the game prom
tses to be one of the most interest
ing and spectacular OF the year.
The authorities. at Georgia Tech
and their friends have been very
anxious to make an arrangement
of games between the two teams,
but finally agreed to come to An
napolis without any promise as to
q game in Atlanta next year.
It was explained to them that
the midshipmen never took trips
requiring so long an absence from
their work at! the academy How
ever, II is understood that the
Georgians win renew their efforts
end will try to bring pressure to
bear to have the department permit
theH trip to Atlanta next year. 1t
would be very popular with the
midshipmen.
During the present week, hard
work has been the rule. and there
has been no -let up because the
field was mushy during some of
the afternoons. Conroy, Barchet
and Cullen seem certainties in the
|. .backfieid. Cullen has clincked his
place by his, good work in advanc.
ing the ball and promises to be a
most useful player
OF all the backfield candidates,
he is the best punter; In fact the
only one who measures up 10 the
necessary standard. Now that ne
is running well with the hall, the
coaches are delighted to use him
regularly. Cullen is a stocky youth
OF ITO pounds, who played with
Central High School, OF Washing.
ton, and then spent q term as an
enlisted man in the Navy.
The Navy coaches also are trying
to make a back of Flippen, who
came from Center College. At
Center. Flippen played only in the
I line, being substitute guard and
center. However. his speed, as well
as his strength, attracted the at
tention Of, Folwell, and he was
picked as bacifield material. He is
doing promising work In his new
position. Flippen Is a rugged fel-
