4 "A Navy is sure Of a very high
place In the national ranking,
according to the general opinion
here. r..
In their hearts most Navy peo-
ple expected a victory and they are,
of course, disappointed, but not
nearly so much SO as II their team
had been defeated. The result of the
game, together with the defeat or
Notre Dame by Carnegie Tech to-
day. puts the Navy in very high
place in the national ranking. ac-
cording to the general opinion here.
Lafayette i'm Running.
: II is pointed out that Lafayette is
now the only Eastern team whlcn
has not lost or tied a game, but
that team had nowhere near so stiff
oppositions as either the Army or
the Navy encountered. In spite or
the tie of today, it is felt that the
Navy ranks above the Army. not
having lost a game this season.
Certain weaknesses i'll the Navy
team were we'll recognized here, chlet
among them being the absence OF
any back who was likely to preaK
loose for a long run either from
scrimmage or after receiving a KICK.
The Army, with Wilson and eagle,
was much stronger in this particular
and the Navy hoped to overcome
this handi cap by superior passing.
The Navy S passing game did not
seem to come up to expectations.

Parker of Dartmouth Finds
it More Attractive Than

By the Associated Press.


OXFORD, England, November 20.
Nathan X. Parker of Pittsburgh,
Pa, Rhodes scholar from Dartmouth,
says that after six weeks in Oxford
he has become an ardent convert to
the English game of rugby foot ball.
He prefers it to the American game.
He was captain of last years Dart
mouth foot ball team, which came
through the season undefeated, and
was conceded the American cham
pionship. Nevertheless In an article
written by him for the current issue
Of the Oxford Magazine he asserts
that he considers 'Rugger" to be a
real sport, while American foot pail
has been reduced to business.
"Here is game played for the
sport of it," he writes OF Engl1sn
foot ball, "while American foot ball
has developed into serious PROPOSE
ton. that might we'll be designated
business, with much of the sporting
side removed for the players
After touching upon the size OF
the crowds at American foot ball
games, the salaries of the coaches
and the space allotted to the sport IN
the newspap pers. Parker declares:
"The game assumes far too great
an Importance in the minds of both
public and participants for the good
of either-particularly the latter, Is
1t any wonder then that Americans
who have played foot ball and uked
it gradually come to appreciate that
rugger is essentially game, and. as
such, provides pleasure and exercise

FROST PROTECTION
FOR STRAWBERRIES
Burlap Covering Proves Good Heat
Retainer in Experiment at
Prosser Station

Strawberry culture has been a prof
liable industry in the state Of Wash
ington in the years the crop has es-
capped the spring frosts. Heating or
smudging Of any kind seems imprac-
tical because of the decumbent po-
sition of the berry plants, whereas
in orchard heating the trees are
above the origin of heat radiation
and thus are benefited.
Since frosty nights usually follow
clear sunshiny days it was thot that
by retaining, in the soil, some of the
heat absorbed from the sun during
the day, and allowing it to radiate
during the night, an increased tenn
perature might be obtained sufficient
to prevent the plant from being frost
injured
The Irrigation Drank Experiment
station at Prosser, has carried on
some frost prevention work from this
angle. Various insulating materials
were placed over the soil shortly be-
fore SHUTDOWN and were allowed to
remain over night. Before sunrise the
following morning the soil tempera-
lures were taken beneath each of the
coverings as well as in the open
ground. These temperatures were tax
en- daily for two months. Heavy pa
per proved to be an excellent insulat-
or but is awkward to handle. I'm
bleached muslin is fairly retentive
but is expensive. A cheap grade of
burlap served very well as heat
retainer and is the least expensive
One layer of burlap was sufficient
to keep the soil temperature from
eight to IL degrees warmer than Ii
the open ground. Two layers of bur-
lap increased the efficiency only
about ten per cent. These foregoing
j observations are the results OF one
years experiment and they will be
continued on larger and more prac-
|tical scale at the station another year
The cost of covering an acre OF
Strawberries is high, altho in compar.
1 ison with the value of the crop the
cost is not prohibitive. A 4O-in.l width
of burlap will cover two rows d
