closest approach to ''Red" Grange

Fritz Crisler, assistant to Stagg and
one of the great players of his day,
said:
"Welch's style isn't quite like that
of Grange, but he appears to be the
best player the conference has had
since Reds day. He is tall. weighs
about 1885, and his legs seem to reach
clean up to his neck. He has a beau
tiful stride and a pretty cross step
just before a tackle, but it is his pivot
that is most remarkable. He spins
like a top and time after time in the
Harvard game shook loose from tack
lers."
The fame of Welch and the enlarge

The coaches had decided at the be-
ginning of last year to use Sloane in
the baCkfield and he was being trained
for this position when he sustained his
injury. There was not sufficient time
to make a back Of Sloane after he re-
covered.
This circumstance may turn out
favorably for the Navy after all. as
the plan to make a back Of Russell
Lloyd. who had played on the end,
was only formed after 1t was found
impracticable to make a back OF
Sloane.
As the matter stands, Lloyd has
found his real place in the backfield.
He is the biggest man who ever played
behind the line for the Naval Academy

WHEAT IS ROLLING IN

The wheat harvest is in full
