NAVY HOPES TO BEAT
MICHIGAN AND ARMY

ANNAPOLIS. November Tt is
felt at the Naval Academy that the
foot ball team has a fair chance of
victories over Michigan and the Mil
itary Academy. the big teams which
remain on the schedule. and that the
season will be highly successful.
With it's green team, most of them
playing in varsity ranks for the first
time, a victory over Notre Dame was
beyond reach but the team has been
steadily improving since then, as in
dicated by the defeat of Pennsylva
Both Michigan and the Army RELY
upon players of long experience in
varsity ranks, and this gives them a
decided advantage. but the young Ma
val players have plenty of ability and
spirit.
Michigan. which the Navy meets
next Saturday. has been thoroughly
secuted, and the reports are that it
is very strong. but relies more upon
its passing game than in its running
attack If the Navy is able to stop
its passes. as it did last year. it has
n reasonable chance of victory.
The situation at the Military Acad-
emy is Just the opposite, as it has
not shown anything particular in the
passing line, but has great runners
in Wilson, Cable and Murrell. 1t is
expected that both of these teams will
score on the Navy. but the Middies
will fight 10 make a bigger score.

foot ball team from Fort Ben

real fight against the Quantico
Marines in the annual Presidents
Cup game to be played a week from

Stung by criticism of its repeated

Since early Summer the Dough

His soldier eleven has won so regu-

to victory and revenge of white heat
in the Presidents Cup bat

Maj. Gen. Allen, chief of infantry,

Ohio Line Play Weak.
The downfall of the Buckeyes at
Princeton was worked out mainly on
the basis of line play. In forecasting
this game the writer believed that
this would be the case ana Sald so.
The Buckeye line was so sOegy that
there seemed to be lack of naturai
ability. Even RaskOwski, hailed as
of all.America caliber, showed tnat
while he is a good lineman he does
not rate the highest honor that may
be bestowed upon tackle.
Ohio's secondary was worked as you
seldom see a second line OF defense
worked in game between high-ciass
rivals. The Buckeye forwards very
often were more or less passive spec
tators of the development for the
Tiger defense behind the front bar
rier. In their scheme of offense the
forwards seemed to spot the Tiger
linemen a great advantage inasmuch
as when an Ohio guard left his posi-
ton the tackle jumped to fill the va
cant space instead of the center slid
ing and this gave the Princeton tackle
an easy opportunity of getting straight
through to mess up the play.
Ohio used a varied defensive forma-
ton, depending upon the zone of play.

forward passing and open play, and
how we'll it might have served was

VIRGINIA REGULARS
GET RESPITE TODAY

UNIVERSITY, Va, November T.
Nirginia's varsity will this afternoon
get down to the serious business Of
preparing to play Maryland in the
last home game of the season.
After the Old Line contest the
Cavaliers go To Chapel Hill on
Thanksgiving for the final clash. with
the University Of North Carolina.
Regulars who had a part in the
victory over Washington and Lee will
proba bly, be given a rest today, but
the second-string players may find
themselves in a scrimmage before the
practice period has ended. Three hard
drills on Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday will be about all the rough
work that the varsity can stand.
Checking up on injuries is always
one of the most important parts of
a Monday practice. Players who seem
badly hurt on Saturday are often well
on the road to recovery two days
later, while men who appeared to
finish game in good shape are often
found to be suffering bad sprains or
twists or bruises that do not become
sore until a workout is started.
Ouintus Hutter, Virginia's veteran
fullback, appeared to be the worst
injured of the Cavaliers on Satur.
day. Hutter was playing his first
game against Washington and Lee,
for he has been too badly hurt TO
have a part in the last two contests.
He wanted very much to remain in
action, but he was forced to give way.
Whether this injury is serious is not
known.
Lefty" Close did not get into the
contest with the Generals. This prom
ising young halfback was hurt in pre-.
season practice, and since the Georgia
game he has been unable to run and
cutback with any speed. The lay.
off he has enjoyed may enable him
to get back into form for the final
games, with Maryland and North
Carolina.

team of the Old Dominion. The Old
Liners licked Virginia Poly and "
NJ. l., but bowed to Washington and
Lee.
Maryland does not do much winning
ut Yale, but it always gives the Ellis
a eOod fight. Last Saturday at New
Haven the Bulldog was hattled more
desperately than its winning score
seemed TO indicate. And the Old
Liners were not kept from a touch
down. AS matter of fact only twice
in the eight times Yale has played
Maryland has it kept the College Park
team from scoring.
Catholic University, which has been
idlinG in so far as competition is con-
cerned for more than a week. very
likely will find it somewhat trying at
Cincinnati next Saturday. The ST.
NaVier team gave the Marines tough
tussle before suffering defeat and not
SO long ago the Marines disposed of
the Cardinals rather handiy.
After the splendid fight it put up
against Penn State last week, George
Washington ought to find its game
with st. Nincents a fairly easy prop
osition. Not much is known here of
the caliber of st. Nincent's, but George
Washington has demonstrated to the
satisfaction Of local foot ball followers
that despite the smallneSS Of its squad
numerically it can put a splendid
team on the gridiron. Unless st. VIM
cents proves surprisingly strong. the
Colonials should resume their Win
ming way Saturday.
GalIaudet. which encountered little
opposition in Blue Ridge last week,
will be up against an entirely different
proposition this coming Saturday.
Delaware was good enough last year
to hand the Kendall Greeners a drub-
bling and probably has not weakened
to any extent this season.
I'm Rridgewater College American
University should meet team of its
own class in so far as playing strength
is concerned. The Nirginians have
few students from which to draft an
eleven and those drafted are not
much more than noviCes at the game.

Wesleyan University, Sid Kent in
particular, are pointing to the fact
that their alma mater won the Little
