AS FORMIDABLE FOE

ANNAPOLIS, October 19.-Though
greatly encouraged by the teams VIC
tory over Princeton Saturday. the
Navy coaches are not overconfident in
regard to the game against Colgate
here this week.
Colgate Is reported as having the
finest kind Of a passing attack. and 1t
is Just this sort OF thing against
which the Navy team has been weak
this year, though unusually strong In
every other department.. 1t was this
sort of attack that gave Princeton Its
scores in the second quarter OF Satur-
days game.
However, Navy people are glad that
the team is to meet just such opposl-
ton Saturday. as the following week
it opposes Michigan in Baltimore.
and must perfect a defense against
the passing Of Friedman. the acknowl-
edged master in this style of play.
Michigan swamped the Midshipmen
last year, mainly through Friedman's s
passing, and inflicted the worst defeat
Navy team has received during the
era of modern foot ball.
The game at Princeton demon
strated that the Navy is particularly
strong in reserve material. 1t started
the game with Scnuber III pace VI
Shapley, the latter being considered
the star runner of the Navy team for
the last three seasons. Later in the
game there were two more substitutes
in the backfield-Caldwell for Rams
ford and Goudge for Hannegan.
In spite Of the charges in the back
geld and a number of line replace
ments, the Navy team became strong
err in comparison with Princeton as
the game progressed and did its best
work in the final quarter. This fact
was highly encouraging to the Navy
mentors.

Running Pass Dangerous.
The running pass (made by the
passer while on the rum carries the
most deception. but is not as safe as
the stationary pass. No man can be
sure of passing accurately while he
is in motion and to reduce the hazard
of the play most coaches teach their
paSsers to come to a Standstill and
then throw the ball.
In the stationary pass the passer
has just as much chance to sidestep
defense players who happen to get
near him as the man who is trying
a running pass. The stationary pass.

There is a thrill for a crowd in a
completed pass. but the spectators get
an equal thrill out of an intercepted
pass. Indeed, some coaches say that
the intercepted pass is the most spec.
tacular break that can occur in a
foot ball game.

When the project for converting the
Emory Building into a vast amuse
ment resort was first broached last
Winter it was hinted that at least the
bowling section of the playground
would be ready for service during the
duckpin season of 1926-27. But it has
not been found feasible to construct
the drives at present.
Part of the Emory Building now is
occupied by other interests. who hold
a lease on the premises, thus making
it iRpra cticable to go ahead with the
work of alley installation. In all likeli-
hood the Davis interests could not get
free sway in the building until late
next Winter, and then there would
be no profit in constructing bowling
plant that could be used for only a
few months before the season ended
For bowling plants bring in profits
TO their owners in only six months of
the year. Three months the owner
gets nothing more than an even break
on his investment, six months he
makes money and then follow three
months in which his plant is operated
at a loss. At least that's the way
Washington alley proprietors figure
the business.
That sounds reasonable, too. There's
nothing going on around the duckpin
drives during the heated Summer
term, and business is not so brisk in
early Fall and late Spring. But the
heavy Winter traffic on the drives
warrants the big investments in the
bowling business in Washington. In
no other city, 'tis said, is the little pin
game so popular as here.
But when the new Davis enterprise
is launched it will be welcomed heart
ily, no doubt, by Washingtonians
