Both teams are much further ad-
Fanced, though, than foot ball squads
are generally at this time. The Ma
rines began practice about the mid
die Of August, and as one man who
has been in touch with them re-
marked. have been working like the
devil over since" Virginia Military
institute students wound up their

gridiron workouts the last day of
that month
For teams to be so far advanced is
unusual, but in this particular case
very fortunate, because il would be
extremely unwlSe to send PLAYERS into
a game as difficult and strenuous as
this one promises to be without con-
siuerably more preparation than the
average college team has at this time.
Both Teams VIII BE Ready.
That V. NJ. J. and the Marines are
= real battle is assured. and that
they know what they are doing is
shown by the fact that they have
their teams pretty well settled upon.
Ihe last few days and the whole of
this week will be devoted by both to
development Of team play.

The Marines have in their an

ANNAPOLIS, Nd, September 15.--
Attended by prematurely cool
weather. the practice periods for both
the varsity and plebe foot bail squads
vas drawn out today beyond any h9d
previously this season. Bob Folwell

sions, the varsity working in the
morning and the plebes In the after
noon. Welchel and Cruise are now
the only absent coaches, but they are
wanted badly, both being backfield in
StruCtors.
From present indications there has
not been a better plebe class for
years so far as foot ball material is
concerned. but none can be used by
the varsity until next season.
This probably will be the schedule
