In this list of games the Marines are
to try two night games. The contest
with Mount Union IS to be played under
the electrics and so is the one with
Western Maryland here. incidentally,
that game with Western Maryland, II
the latter is as strong as it was last
season, is likely 10 be one Of the most
attractive Of the year. The Presidents
Cup game with the Coast Guard, OF
course, will be the big affair Of the year,
and toward that will be conferred the
greatest effort.
Mai. Brewster, or Dave, as he is bet
ter known to the many who are glad
to know him as their friend, is OF the
opinion that the Marines next FAN Will
have one of the greatest teams that
have ever worn their colors. The squad
Is likely to be strong in every depart
ment with the certainty Of having
many new men of exceptional ability,
who were not eligible to play last sea-
son, then being at the Basic School at
League Island Navy Yard at Philadel-
phia.
The entire squad of last season will
again be available and the addition OF
these new men should make up, as Maj.
Brewster expresses 1t, "a really good
squad" Among the new candidates for
the 1880 team will be Presley, former
and 1928, was rated the best pivot man
in the South. Allen, guard from Uni
versity of Florida, was just about as
good, and had reputation In the
Southern Conference that placed him
only little behind Presley. Some Of
Norwich University fullback and half
back: Boles, a guard from Coe College;
McCaffrey, quarterback at Pennsyl-
vania Military Institute: Weeks. who
was star in the backfield for Citadel;
D. c. Roberts, halfback from the
Naval Academy and C. c. Roberts.
Naval Academy guard; HILL University
Of Georgia guard; Moe, University of
California tackle: Murray. who played
both end and backfeid for Naval
Academy, and Sherman, center from
Boston University.
All these men went into the Marine
Corps last year and have been at school
since that time. They were not eligible
to play last Fall, under a ruling which
provided that any prospective officer
entering the corps must spend his first

While these men did not take any
part in any American foot ball last
Fall, they all played rugby. Several
of them we're in two games recently
PLAYED with the New York club and
with Yale There is not much doubt
that all will be in great shape when
they start practice in September.
Georgetown took Yale over the hur-
dies yesterday, making eight straight
victories it has won since it opened its
schedule late in March. The score was
4 to 2. Yale had a strong team and
played good ball, but could not quite
match the performances of the Blue
and Gray. Yales star halfback, Albie
Booth, played shortstop and got one
hit out of two trips to the plate, ham
died four out Of five chances in the
