american and British Polo Teams Well Matched Starting
NAVY GRIDMEN HAIL
FROM ALL OVER U. S.

ANNAPOLIS, Md. September O.
Every section of the country and
nearly every State is represented by
member of the Naval Academy foot
ball squad this season, the distribu
ton of it's members being probably
more general than that of any other
college team, with the exception of the
Military Academy, where conditions
are similar.
Owing largely to the large number
of athletes sent to the Naval Academy
from New Jersey. the group from the
Middle States is somewhat larger than
that from any other section.
Nays squad is far from a heavy
one. The weightiest members are
Lloyd, back. and Wilson and Aichel
tackles, each of whom is listed at zoe
pounds even. The lightest member OF
the squad is Millican, weighing las
pounds. Wilson is the tallest mem
Der OF the squad, six feet and three
inches, and Millican the shortest, five
feet and five inches.
Ned Hannegan of Washington, cap
tain of the eleven, is also the leader
of next seasons base ball nine, and
there are three other captains on the
squad-Ransford, for lacrosse; Bagda
novich, for the crew, and Aichel, for
the water polo team.
Four members of the squad are
younger brothers of players on Navy
teams in former years. Crittenden
Taylor, back, is brother of Whitley
Taylor, captain of the Navy team a
few years ago. Frank Duborg, line
man, is brother of Christian Duborg
of last years squad. Dave Whelchel
a back, follows in the footsteps OF
Johnny WhelChel who plaved in the
back field with Bill Ingram, now
coach, and Jack Eddy, a guard, Is a
brother of Tom Eddy. great tackle OF
last year and captain and stroke OF

Only five members of the squad
have had any collegiate experience be-
fore entering the academy. Sloane

TUNNEY NOT TO BOX
UNTIL TOMORROW
By the Associated Press.

LAKE VILLA, ILL.,, September g.
Gene Tunney decided today that he
would not box, after all, and would
give his injured right eye at least an
other day to heal properly.
The respite marked the third day
the heavyweight champion has rested
since Chuck Virgins, indianapolis
light heavyweight, opened a cut In
Genes eyelid in a sparring session
Tuesday. Tunney would not say when
he planned to pull on the 16-ounce
training gloves again, although 1t APP
peared probable that workouts would
be resumed tomorrow.
Having no worries over his physical
condition, Gene is not disturbed by the
break in training and SCOTS at Jack
Dempsey's intention of playing for
the injured eye in their return battle
at Soldier Field September %.
'It's just scratch and will heal in
a week." the title holder said today.
81 could box again today If / wished.
but with so much at stake / think 1t
best to take no chances. There always
is the possibility of another butt that
would do serious damage. Dempsey
will find my eye in shape to receive
all the pounding he can give it,"
The searching party that secured
Chicago, under the leadership of Man
ager Billy Gibson, seeking sparring
partners, came into camp with two
new youngsters today. They were
Jack Ruddy, a light heavyweight, and
Jackie Williams, a 1S0-pounder, cred
tied with possessing a sterling punch
in his right mitt. Both will be given
tryouts when the training grind is
resumed.
Tunney played 1s holes of golf as a
training stunt yesterday. He was &C.
companied by Eddie Egan of Denver,
a former captain Of the Yale boxing
team and Rhodes scholar.
