eagle and either Allan or O'Keefe
appeared to be the backfield choice
for the opening period.
Other lineup shifts were made
during practice but IL was likely
that Hammack and Dibb win
start as the Army guards with
Sprague and Perry as tackles.
The ends will probably be picked
from among Kenney, TObin and
MalIoy.
The Navy will take on Boston
College at Annapolis and the outcome
will provide interesting indications of
the sort of season the Middies are
to have this year. After their sur
prising loss. to Davis.E lkins, last
Saturday a defeat at the hands Of the
Boston college team, would prac-
ticaHy eliminate the Navy from con-
sideration among the strong East

HONLEY ST AIRS
AS PILOT

Before putting the 1928 baseball
season into history st. Louis
Browns admirers would like to let
the world know that the most con.
sistent team in the junior league
this year was Dan Howley's. They
were quoted at 100 to l when the
sharps were booking the pennant
prospects in the spring, No one
could see the Browns. They
laughed at Phil Ball for cleaning
out about Is men and retaining
only four of his regulars. Howley
was headed back for the minors.
The whisperers buzzed the ears of
listeners that Howley was all right
in the minors. but he was no inside
ball director.

walter had won the r. G. A.
championship for four years in
q row, and his match with
DiegeI yesterday was his twenty
third since he had previously
been defeated in p. g. A. tour
nanlent play. Hence Diegel was
very much the underdOg in the
eyes of the gallery Of more than
500 that frailed around, and
when Leo finally put over the
coup de grace there were loud
and YociferOus cheers for the
man who had been able to put
an end to. the victorious sway
Of the perennial champion.

About two players on the team
will show batting mark OF 300
for the season, but Extensively the
Browns doomed up strong. The in
field kids did not crack. Blue played
brilliantly at first. Third base was
not strong point for Howley. The
outfield covered acres of ground. but
Manush was the only man who
could deliver with the stick,
Gray and Crowder are two of the
outstanding stars of the season AID
between them they bagged forty
one games for the Browns. This
pair. one traded by Connie Mack
and the other let out by Washing
ton. played big part in the third
place success Of the Browns. If
Mack had kept Gray he would
have won the pennant. Crowder
would have pitched the Senators
into third place.

his critics with the remark that

drop out Of the league. They

 OF GREAT HAZARD
DRIFTS HEPLESSEY FOR HEN HOURS AND THEN ESCAPES
 GREAT STORM

After being buffeted by wlye=s and tide rips for 10 hours as she drifted helplessly in the channel between Pearl Island and the mainland of the south Kenai pes-- lnsula, the Motorship Disc0Ferer with Capt Heinie Berger anG t&o members Of the crew and i've passengers, including two women and baby, managed to make Portlock harbor Sunday morning, and then escaped disaster again Tuesday night as she was being lowed into Nuka Bay just before the most terrific "southeaster" of years hit the coast,
 Just as local government author ities had about decided to send a relief ship to search for the Dis coverer, which was five days over due from Seldovia to Seward, she was lowed into port last night at |9:3O o'clock by the Northwestern II, of the Kenai River Packing Co., under the command of Captain Hanson, better known as Hard Luck Hanson. She had broken her tail shaft coupling, and bent the tail shaft and the propeller as the result Of a collision with big channel bouy when caught in bad blow and the tide rips at Pearl Island.
 The beleaguered ship was clear ly in the most dangerous position but by a fortunate circumstance the winds and the tide offset each other to hold her in the channel with less than a mile on either side where the angry waves tore at the ragged coast.
 About three o'clock Sunday morning, Captain Berger manag- ed to hold her with an anchor and as the winds calmed down, he dispatched a member of the crew in a dory to Fox Island where Clyde Coombs and James CofliaS have fox farms and power dories. (Continued on Page F1ve)

Wednesday afternoon for a walking
tour of the nearby White Mountains
over the Thanksgiving vacation.
Young collapsed, apparently from a
heart ailment, Saturday morning.
Three of the youths descended to
the base station at the foot of the
mountain for a sled on which they
hoped to be able to bring Young
out OF the woods.
Sled Is Useless
They worked their way back sew
cral hours later only to find that the
sled was useless and Immediately
started a forced march down the
slope with Young on their shoulders
They reached the base late at night
but Young was dead.
