DOG FRAY
GIVES LINE ON
MERCURYS

How the Mercury Athletic Club
eleven compares with it's dearest
enemy, the Mohawk team. will be
learned in a measure tomorrow
when Mercury faces the Quantico
Marines crack enlisted mems team,
at Union Park, at 2:30 p. m.
Two weeks ago the Devil Dogs
defeated the Mohawks in a hard
fought game, 13 to 0. Whether
Mercury can better that showing is
a question that independent football
fans warmly debate. Whether Mer.
curry can trim the Mohawks later
on is the subject of even warmer
argument
Tomorrow's contest is of par
ticular Importance to the principals
Washington's sandlot bugs haven't
forgotten those two battles between
the Mercury and Leatherneck teams
a. year ago. The Marines won one,
Z to 6, and Mercury took the other
by the same score
Thus, the approaching game is
the rubber, and nearly all deciding
games are a trifle different from
the ordinary contest, the difference
being usually in the spirit of the
contestants.
Mercury wants a victory for
another vital reason. 1t. is ambi.
tious to preserve clean slate for
1924. In six games, only one team
has been able to cross the Mercury
goal, this distinction belonging to
the Apaches, who were beaten,
II to 6. Mercury has scored about
1876 points. In it's first three
games, it yielded only three first
downs.
Then Mercury began to under.
estimate its opponents and failed to
get in proper shape. OF a conse-
quence the team didn't look as
strong as in early. contests. But
the Winged Foot eleven has no
illusions concerning the Leather
necks.
Joe Ganey, long a Mercury leader
and one of it's strongest players,
said today his men were going into
tomorrow's game pHepared to fight
harder than at any time this
season.
1T ought to be a real football
game" he said.

Penn PIacards Its
Training House
With Warnings

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 90
Penn just can't forget those
three defeats at the hands of
Cornell during the last three
years. In fact, the coaches are
rubbing it in. To get up more
fight among the players, huge
placards have been posted all
over the training house with
just these figures on them:
41-0-9-0-14-7.
These numbers denote the
scores of the last three games.
Even when the squad sits down
at the tables to eat they are
confronted by a sign with the
scores on them. Other placards
strung around the house are
watch holding" and Watch

THE MASHIE NIBLICK

The range of the mashie-
niblick shot is from 80 to
12O yards. Care must be taken
not to overswing. Nothing IS
more fatal to a mashie-niblick
shot than a long back swing,
as the main thing required is
accuracy. The follow through
to this shot is of vital impor-
lance also, as the club must
take possession of the ball for
a time long enough to make
sure that it is going to be
steered in the right direction.

fast for his weight and has done
some fine hitting. Albsrts0n, a
flashy lacrosse player, was a mem
Der of the Squad B last year. and
has come along fast as a varsity
back this season.
Wellings, H. Caldwell, Banks,
Hirst and Lewis are substitute
backs who have shown ability to
gain ground this year, AMI there
are more substitute backfiald men
to form, in all, four complete oack-
fields, all of them we'll drilled in
the particular work required. IN
the number of trained backs, the
Navy probably has an advantage
over the Army, which may offset
the greater brilliancy and expert
ence of a few soldier stars.

When this shot is mastered
it is a great stroke saver. The
only thing that will enable one
to play this perfectly is prac-
tice. This can be done around
the home in the winter months.
If one does not have place to
play in the yard. large living
room will suffice. One can
learn a lot by pitching balls
into sofa or a big chair. TAX
ing the ball clearly each time
will make it jump just the
right height to land in a chair.
