once could Cubby even touch him.
Each time Cubby jumped for Shadow
and was sure he had him Shadow
wouldn't be there, 1t was very irritat-
ing, not to say provoking.
To make matters worse, Blacky the
Crow and Sammy Jay had discovered
what was going on and they we're max
ing all manner OF fun OF Cubby. Yes,
indeed, they were making all manner
of fun of Cubby. And all the time
Shadow kept right on tormenting
Cubby. The fact is, Shadow was be-
ginning to enjoy 1t. You see. he knew
that he could get away at any time
he wanted to. He knew that there was
really nothing to fear And 1t pleased
him to think that he was making one
so much bigger than himself so very
uncomfortable
But Shadow the Weasel never can
do anything very long at time. After
a bit he grew tired of teasing Cubby.
Besides. he had worked off some OF
the rage which had taken possession
of him when Farmer Browns Boy had
frightened off the Woodcock. So he
gave Cubby last good, hard nip and
then vanished in a little hole under a
stump. Cubby whirled about just in
time to see Shadows tail disappearing
in that little hole.
"I'll get that fellow now" growled
Cubby. and he began to dig frantically
around that old stump. My, my, how
he did make things fly! He tore up
the ground. tore up the roots, and all
the time Shadow the Weasel was sit
ting on another stump little way off,
dressing his fur and grinning as he
watched Cubby. You see. he had run
along little underground passage and
so out. Cubby kept on for few
minutes. Then. realizing that Shadow
wasn't there. he stopped again. It was
funny to see him. He acted for all
the world as though he didn't know
who had been digging there. He shuf-
ned away in most .unconcerned man
ner. To see him you never would have
guessed that he had anything what
ever to do with the big hole dug under
that stump. He found a big anthill
Then he forgot everything excepting
those ants. He dug that anth;H open.
and then when all the busy ants we're
swarming there, trying to save their
young, he licked them up. You know
people who are very fond of sweets
are said to have sweet tooth" well
every member of the Bear family has q
sour TOOTH" Anyway, they are all
fond of ants. and ants are said to he
sour. I never have tried them r,ySeIf
to find out. ''S'.

ton.
Charged with violating the amateur

wimbledon championship. Tilden will

ANNAPOLIS. Md, August 7.--On &C
count CO an unusual number of promiS-
ing backs, the Naval Academy expects
to develop a brilliant and successful
team next Fall.
The line is likely to be of the nor
NAL strength, but there Is reason to be-
lieve that the backfield viii be one of
the best the academy ever has had.
The academy has promise of out
standing stars in Lloyd, Clifton. Spring
and Fox. and it is also plentifully sup
piled with good substitutes.
When the Ingrams assumed charge
of foot ball two years ago, they were
fortunate enough to find an unusual
number of seasoned players. and they
developed a team which was generally
claSSed as the best of the year
Nearly all OF the stars of that team
were in their final year however, and
the coaches were handicapped all last
season by the inexperience of their
players.
Most Of 1927 Men Back.
Losses by graduation we're not so
great last year. and the Ingrams and
their helpers will begin the season with
al. excellent squad of players, most of
whom have been drilled for two years
under their system.
OF the regular backfield of last year
Ransford and Hannegan were the vet
Grams, but the latter was handicapped
all the season by weak leg. Lloyd was
playing his first year in the backfieid,
and Clifton was in his first season as q
varsity player
With his unusual physical endow-
ments for the position, weight, strength
and speed, Il is felt that Lloyd should

Navy Is Expecting to Present
Powerful Backfield This Fall

learn a lot about backfield playing last
season. but the coaches are in a better
position to arrange plays by which he
can show to advantage.
Clifton, who gained more than a
hundred yards against the Military
Academy last year the greatest yard
age of any player in the game, Is big
ger and stronger than ever, and should
be one of the greatest driving backs
of the season
Spring and Fox are backs of much
the same type. fast, active players
with great speed and natural ball-car-
rying ability. They weigh around ITO
pounds each.
Spring played brilliantly against
Notre Dame and Pennsylvania, but
was injured in n1idseaSon. He also
played a great game of lacrosse. His
only drawback seems to be tendency
to get hurt, which may decrease as he
natures.
Fox Is Fine Prospect.
Fox was the star of the strong plebe
eleven last year, and it is believed that
he will be fully up to the varsity
standard. He shows more ability as
an open-field runner than any back
the Navy has had for a long time.
II is proposed TO use Fox at quarter
back, but some other player, possibly
Whelchel, may land that position, and
Fox and Spring used In the same half
back berth, alternating.
Bauer, Miller and CaSs are other
good backs from last years varsity
squad. while the plebe eleven of last
year viii furnish number in addition
to Fox, several of whom promise much
usefulness
