NAVY GRID SQUAD
PROGRESS IS FAIR
However, Tentative Lineup
Has Not Been Named
by Coaches.

A NNAPOLIS. September IS.
" Completing the third week OF
"A practice and with but two
\ weeks before the first game OF
the season, against Davis and
Elkins. the Naval Academy squad has
made fair progress.
Nothing like tentative first-strlng
lineup has been settled as yet. There
is little doubt that Lloyd and Clifton
will be the first choices for the back
field. If Spring is used at all in the
first two games, against Davis and
ElkinS and Boston College, 1t Will be
for very short periods.
Three candidates tor the quarter
back position seem to be about on a
par. These are Miller. captain OF the
basket ball team, and Whelchel OF last
years squad, and Cannon, the quarter
back of the Plebe eleven.
Of the backs of last year, Bauer
Morse. Mauro and Kolhas are doing
good work, and the same can be said
of Castree, McCracken, Antrim, 10th,
Crane and Dale Bauer, all Plebes last
season
There is no doubt as to the ability
of Capt. Burke to hold his position
at guard nor Of Giese to remain at
tackle. Hardin also seems able to de-
fend his old position at center.
Though Chapple. tackle last year.
was out of the game this week on &C
count of injuries, he is at present IN
the lead for the other guard position.
GRAY and Wilson are the strongest
candidates for the other tackle.
Up to the present none OF the new
candidates for end appear to be able TO
go ahead of Beans and Moret, VINO
were first substitutes last season. Byng
and Ricketts, are pressing them.
Scrimmaging today almost ap-
preached game conditions. The varsity
worked against two attachments OF
plebes.
The backfeld had Whelchel at
quarter, Cannon and H. Bauer halves
and Clifton full. Cannon had oeen
one of the quarterback candidates.
Clifton and Bauer were in par
ticularly good form. Both are running
well and are showing notable improve
ment in getting through the secondary
defense. Bauer is also passing and
kicking we'll. After the varsity had
scored several touchdowns this after
noon he added to the score by drop
kick
LLOYD was given little rest, Bauer
being his understudy for the scrimmage.
Whelchel is a Washington boy and a
brother Of Johnny Whelchel former
