The Middies are out for revenge
against the Wolverines. not only
for the defeat they suffered at Ann
Arbor last year, but also for that
ignominous beating which they
Navy took from a great Michigan
team several years ago when the
victor's score ran well past the half
century mark.
Confidence reigns at. Annap-
oils that the Middies, slow to-
start. are just coming into their
full power and their victories
over Pennsylvania and West
Virginia Wesleyan would seem
to bear this out.
No Navy team in recent history
has ever made such an inauspicious
beginning as this years eleven, burt
the early season defeats have been
forgotten AMI the Wolverines, al.
though not underestimated, are
looked upon as the next victim.
With the exception of the Army
Navy game of 1924 played here,
no such crowd as that expected to
see today's clash has ever gathered
for a football game south of the
Mason and Dixon line.
The demand for tickets has ex-
hausted the supply and unless the
weatherman plays false there, will
be $4,000 spectators damned into
the big stadium when the whistle
blows for the Kickoff.
Michigan, despite it's victory over
Illinois, a prospective big Ten"
champion, last Saturday, enters the
game as an exceedingly doubtful
quantity. The Wolverines have had
a long siege of difficult shedding.
They dropped four games in a row
before coming to life against the
Illini, and whether or not that VIC
tory was just flash in the pan or
real evidence of rally that will be
sustained against the Middies is
something that only the game will
tell. Certainly the odds are all
against Michigan and the new. maize
colored jerseys in which they will
take the field against Navy.
Instead Of having to rely on
makeshift backfield, as i'm the
early games, Navy win take the
field with a wealth OF hard.hit-
ting backs.
In fact the Navy backs have come
so fast in the last fortnight that Bill
ingram has a problem on his hands
in how best TO dispose them for the
game. 1t is probable that Weichel
will start at quarterback with Gan
non and Spring at halfback and
Clifton at full.
This leaves Whitley Lloyd. looked
upon last season az one of the most
promising backs the Middies ever
sent on the gridiron, sitting on the
bench. There has never been much
question of Navy's ability on the
defense and there is none now on
the eve of the Michigan battle.
Michigan displayed greater defen-
stVe strength against Illinois than
In any of its early games, but left

EASTERN FACES
G0..NZAGA TEAM

Scholastic football lovers are ex.
pected to congregate in the Eastern
High Stadium this afternoon to
attend the yearly football rnix-up
between Eastern and Gonzaga High.
The ceremonies are to start at 2
o'clock.
For the past several years, the
Purple has held the upper hand
over the Light Blue and White,
but the 1928 elevens are of the
same standards and an aggressive
and close contest is in the offing.
Gonzaga has not lowered its head
before any high school this season
while Eastern dropped a To game

Secondly, it was the worst foot
ball drubbing ever administered a
Central football team; and, thirdly,
it placed the Manual Trainers on
even terms with Eastern in the
pursuit of the 1928 public high
football mantle.
In CentraFs defense, word
must be mentioned that Capt. Gene
Stevens, the best-cutting and pivot
ing halfback in schoolboy ranks,
was on the sidelines with a busted
rib. A team isn't inspired with its
leader out of the game. Then.
Coach Louis cTy'0 Rauber, with
mediocre squad, was forced to alter
his lineup. placing Bud Hanley at
end and George Mehler at quar-
terback.
Hanley and Mehler, together with
Plumley. on the offense, were heroic
but tragic figures on the beaten
side. Hanley and Mehler practically
did all the defensive work which
wasn't dimmed by Techs imposing
point total.

SPORT RET URNS
To- OLD WAYS

Sport, no less than the sterner
phases of existence, felt the effect
of the postwar trend away from
the rigidity of older convention and
tradition. Both base ball and foot
ball loosened up suddenly in ways
that revolutionized the older con-
ception OF both. Now, the tendency
is toward restoring their original
character.
On the diamond, the introduce
