Formidable Foot Ball Foes School Court Series Opens Tuesday
NAVY WILL LOSE TEN
VARSITY GRIDIRONERS

ANNAPOLIS, January 5.-In spite
Of the fact that the Naval Academy
foot ball team will lose by gradua-
tion ten Of the fifteen players who
took part in the final game, against
the University of Washington, at
Pasadena, Calf, there is very hope
full feeling about the team Of next fall.
These players, who took part in
the Washington game. will graduate
in June: Carney, captain and left
guard; Mathews, center; Walker.
right tackle; Brown. right end: Me-
Kee, quart erback: Devens, left half
back: Cullen, right halfback; Barchet.
fuilback: Ballinger, halfback; vieweg,
tackle All but the three last named
started the game.
The Navy, in fact, anticipates a
stronger line than 1t had this year.
For several positions. notably the
ends and tackles, such a keen compe-
tition is expected that there should
be difficulty in picking excellent reg
ulars and substitutes above the usual
grade.
Lentz is expected to fill the place
left vacant by Carney. with Powell,

A great amount of work will have
to be done to get the backfeld In
shape. Shapley, probably the best
ground gamer on the team in 1928,
and Flippin will be the nucleus. The
latter is the best line hitter on the
Navy squad. but will have to over
come a tendency to getting mixed on

HAUGHT0N'S RETURN
TO HARVARD LIKELY

While the understanding has been
that Percy D. Haughton will fill
three-year term at Columbia, it ap-
pears he has signed no contract that
reads that way. And while he Is ex-
pected to return to Morningside next
year there seems at the present tins
no definite assurance that he will.
In this connection IL is interesting
to consider talk that has been heard
OF late that Harvard men-that is to
say, certain Harvard nen-want him
to return to Cambridge.
The feeling in some quarters seems
to be that Robert Fisher. who sue
ceeded Haughton. proceed with the
advantage Of the Haughton impulse.
and that, now this heritage is waning
Fisher has little on his own part thai
Is really constructive.
There has been talk that with the vet
eran material available at Harvard this
season the team should have done
better than 1t did. It In possible that
the feeling might have crystallized
into something definite had the Yale
Harvard game been played under
handily. But, as 1t turned out. the
contest really proved little or nothing
There is no chance that Fisher will
not serve as head coach at Cambridge
next year. when his showing viii
largely determine Haugiton's future
so far as the Crimson is concerned.
Thus. regarding next year. all the
probabilities would point toward
Haughton's holding on at Columbia.
His work there this season was
splendidly performed. He and his as
sistants turned out an eleven that
played real foot ball, that was funda-
mentally equipped in every particular
and lost games only because the ma
terial was not for the most part f1rst
class.

1t seems to me that two-handed

made much quicker and the player
is lot more secure in possession OF
the ball at the time of passing. With
this pass the ball can be received
and passed in practically the same
motion.
This pass is very easily mastered
and is made with the ball secure in
both hands, passed from the chest
with a wrist and elbow motion to-
gether with a slight motion forward
to get the weight of the body back
