She Thought There
Were Sides On
A Golf Ball
Pa. 81

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Jan.
20.-A young woman,
modishly gowned in sports
clothes, stepped up to the
first tee of the Cobb's Creek
golf course, laid her golf
bag down in line, and when
her turn came to tee off she
looked appealingly at the
starter and inquired:
Am / doing this right? /
Just took six lessons from
the golf professor and / hope
I'm right. =
The answer was in the
affirmative and the girl took
eight lusty swings without
touching the ball. Where
upon the starter teed up her
ball an inch higher and she
hit q corking drive straight
down the fairway.
What was the natter?"
she asked. teThe professor
didn't tell me that. !"
"Well, madam, " answered
the starter, laconicalIy, II
guess you didn't hit the
right side Of the ball.
ssOh, goodness, |" she re-
piled, "Why didn't the spro-
lessor tell me which was the
right side of the ball to
strike?"

Beaten on its own floor by Du-

look squally for the midshipmen,
but this was followed By the tine
game against the University 81
.PennsyIvania. at Philadelphia,
which the Navy i've lost by !

The game against Pennsylvania
WAS q hard one to lose, for the
nlidshipmen scored ten field goals

were defeated By the multiplicity
Of fouls called upon them BY the
officials. These numbered twenty
one to eight against the home
players. There Ii no secret here
Of . feeling that these officials
were q good deal more Watchf1l
OF the rnidsllipnen than Of the
Pennsyl vanians
The game has BY no means
strengthened the ties between the
sUniyersity Of Pennsylvania and
the Naval Academy, already weak
ened BY the football game Of last
fall to the extent that the Navy
did not ask for the return game
which would have been the natural
thing. One OF the Offenses

These are BY far the big events
of the home schedule. except the
game against the Military Academy

February -. The Navy team and
its friends are confident they can
win the next game against Penn
sylVania.
The fine game against Pennsyl-
vania, in spite 0f the one point
margin against them, has put new
life into the Navy players. All
along they have been playing q
fine passing game. but most OF
them have been shooting poorly.
Coaches Allen and AuIt have been
aiming at a. five.man offense, and
the team may get to be q great

quently.
Mckee, who was late in starting
basketball, on account of his foot
ball work. is shooting more regu-
larly than any Of the others.
while Harris, the other forward
last season, has been very poor
in this department Of the game,
Harris is q stocky youngster, the
center fielder of the nine, and a
hard. earnest player. He covers
la lot OF ground and fits into the
team play splendidly, but is not
an accurate shooter. Unless he
improves. Vraig. who played with
Knox College last season, may re.
place him.
Scheibler started the season at
center, and has played well at
times, but Walshe has been used
in the last two games. His first
game, against Knox, was by no
means a satisfactory exhibition, but
the coaches had faith in him. ana
he played well against Pennsyl-
vania. He has plenty Of height
and speed, and should improve
steadily.
