NAVY WINNER
 OVER MARINES
Scouting Fleet Beats QuanticO
 Eleven By 7-6 Score

NEW YORK, Oct. 27.-The beauti- full mutual hatred which motivates all relations between the United States navy and the Unted States marines was given free play for tpe glorious, smashing hour at the Yankee stadium Monday afternoon and the Navy won.
 The picked football team of the At lantic coast scouting fleet beat the varsity of the Quantico Marine base, { to 6, in the presence of 5000 spec tators, including Secretary of the Navy W ilbur and Admiral Plunkett, the com- mandant of the Brooklyn navy yard, two commanders who had to be impar- tial inasmuch as they both have gobs and marines under their command. The rest of the crowd was largely composed of ex-marines and ex-sailors who thrilled again with the ancient inter-servicc grudge of gob against leatherneck and vice versa. A lovely fight was enjoyed by all.
 Sailors Have Best Of It
 The sailors had all the best of it, for the marines touchdown was scored by a fluke when Stock, the left end OL luC RuubllCO tCulu, AlOppCu Oh q loose bah behind the Navy's goal, after he had blocked kick with his nose. McCains of the Marines tried to kick a goal from formation after the touch down, but it was blocked when the Navy line broke through the Marines forwards and broke up the play.
 Leak, Fullback of the Navy, scored the Blues touchdown by a 9S-yard run in the second period. Ensign Rooney, playing right half for the Navy, kicked the goal for the point that won the game.
 Three times thereafter the Marines tried for placement goals, any one of which might have won the game, but the Navy forwards were charging through the line so swiftly that the bail had to be booted away without adequate te preparation and went wild.
 Every gob and leatherneck in the New York command who could get lib- erty for the afternoon, was at the game and there were rumors that some of the boys had bet their velocipedes, tops and kites on the outcome, although this may be a boshevistic libel on the morals of the nations armed forces.

COLONIES PRAY
 AGAINST INJURY
Chief Myers, Present Head
 Coach, Inaugurated Practice

The man who made the Praying Col onels" pray is now leading Centre col lege's famous football team. Contrary to general belief, it wasn't Uncle Char ley" Moran, National league umpire and coach of Centre up to this year, who inaugnurated the custom. Nor was it the president of Centre, Dr. R. Ames Montgomery. The man was Robert ("Chief'O Myers, present head coach of the Colonels.
 Myers was Moran's predecessor as well as his successor at Centre. When he took the reins in 1917. When started the praying practice. Before each game the players bow their heads and ask, not to win, but to be given strength and protection from injury.
 When Centre beat West Virginia in 1919-their last previous meeting to Saturday's-and jumped into instant fame, the Kentuckians were dubbed the Praying Colonels," and their custom was written up from coast to coast, al- though they had been doing it then for three years. -t

SERIOUS BUT NOT HOPELESS,'
 QUOTH DOBTE

ITHACA, N. T., Oct. 27.-With
 two weeks of uninterrupted prac-
 tice the Cornell football team began a course of instruction last Monday which its partisans hope will effect a marked change in its capacity before the big games ar- rive. The situation is serious, but not hopeless, though Coach Gil Dobie said that ''the worst is. yet to come.'' The team, Dobie admit ted, showed improvement against Rutgers compared to its work in the Williams game, but Eve have a very long way to go."
 Little Patterson, who played his first full game a week ago is a fix ture. He is too light, but his ex- perience and poise have added much strength to the backfield. The oth- CTS, Whetstone. Isaly and Wade, are well below the Cornell stand ard. The interference is below par and none of the backs can run ex- cept in q straight line.
 To make these backs more ef- fective is Dobie's biggest job in the next two weeks.
