NAVY ELEVENS SHOW
ADVANCE In WEIGHT

Presence of many players OF great
size on Navy. foot ball teams, par
ticularly in the line, in recent years,
constitutes a notable CiAnge from
what used to be the rule. Up to a few
years ago player of over $50
pounds was exceptional.
Last year the Navy line averaged
well up to that of the heavier of its
opponents, and this Fall it is indi-
Gated that there will be one of the
heaviest lines in the country. a num-
Der of big fellows also are among the
squad of backfleld candidates.
The players who composed the Navy
line last year, with weights, were:
Center. Osburn, 1876; guards, Lentz,
218, and Chillingworth, 1856; tackles,
Wickhorst, 207, and Stolz, 1S9; ends,
Taylor, IT'S, and Caldwell, ITO. This, it
Will be noted, was anything but a
small line.
The line this year is likely to be a
little heavier. Lentz, Osburn and
Wickhorst are again available, and
each is likely to weigh a pound or
two more than in 1924. The leading
candidates for the vacant places, with
weights, are: Guard, Eddy, 1876; tack
lie, Edwards. 200; ends, Bernet, ITO,
and Hardwick, $50.
This combination averages three or
four pounds more than the line of last
year.
1t also is true that the present
fourth class, formed this Summer, Is
the heaviest on the average of any
for years, and five members weighing
from 1875 to 2OS pounds each already
have been noted. They are: Kruppen-
bacher, POS; Lloyd, 205; Hutchins, 1876.
and Woerner and Wilson, 1875 each.
All have had foot ball experience.

| is justly regarded as pretty much or
an Englishman.
w l. Hunter, who won the British
amateur title four years ago and is
now "a pro In this country, advised
the writer a year or two ago that
while his parents are Scotch, he was
born in England and learned the
game there.
With amateur stars lacking, no pro-
fessionals have risen to catch the
professional standard which long ago
began to wayer in the hands of the
great Jim Braid and Alexander Herd.
On the other hand, the American
golfer before referred to as having
just returned from Scotland, says that
not even base ball in America is so
nervously played. The village shoe
maker may be the champion of the
county, and the paths to the impor-
tant courses, as well as the unim-
portant. are filled with golfers drawn
from all strata of caledonia society.
Wherefore, the sporting philosopher
may well ponder which is the better,
d nation in which almost every one
plays d good game of golf or "a ma
ton in which comparatively few play,
including d number of specialists who
become champions?

the material in sight for fair reserve
strength. I would not be surprised If
we have team just about as good
onensiVely Is 1t was a year ago, but
weaker on the defense"
Last season Alabama had only one
touchdown scored on It by confer
ence team, which resulted from a 9S-
yard run after intercepting a forward
pass. In fact, Kentucky and Florida
are the only conference teams that
have scored on Alabama in the last
two seasons, a record that IL will be
difficult to maintain.
Whatever may be Alabama $ fu-
ture in athletics, if it does not main
tain position near the top of the
heap it viii not be because it's alum
nj and other supporters are not TAX

second or two of what was done by
Alabama alumni last Fall in just one
case. Right after the foot ball sea
son the alumni of the university in
vited the members of 90 high school
teams to a banquet and then and
there laid before them the advantages
of attending their State university.
That % foot ball teams does not
mean the two or three best players
from each team, but from those teams
the Alabama alumni had present more
than 400 foot ball players.
