ANNAPOLIS VARSITY

Big Team Develops Promising

Best Of Plebes.

ANNAPOLIS. Md, September 20
The Naval Academy varsity scrimmag-

viously exhibited this season. The stiff
practice lasted for about an hour, the
time being evenly divided between the
defense and offense.

able to drop behind their lines the same
backs who had been gaining regular
ly earlier in the week, and Denny in

since the injury to Bauer, was the star

NAW'S TENTATIVE
LINEUP SELECTED
Bauer, Cannon, Kim, Hag-
berg Appear Certain to Be
Starting Backs.
NNAPoLIs, september 81.

A NNAPOLIS, September 81. -
~ Though every position is subject
~ to change, tentative varsity
team can be selected at the
Naval Academy on the basis Of the
Spring practice and the work done here
this month.
The Naval Academy will not have IL
players who will start in every game
and be expected to remain until near
the end or at least until the game is
we'll in hand, but, naturally, there will
be a group which will generally be in
the playing at crucial times.
Just at present every effort is being
made to groom such an eleven for the
game with Notre Dame in South Bend,
which is only three weeks ahead
The backheld, to which special at
tention is being given and which will
undoubtedly do the bulk of the work in
the first big game, though it may not
start, will have Bauer at quarter, Gan
non and kim at the wings and Hag-
berg fullback.
This is fast generally experienced
and versatile combination. Bauer, Gan
non and Hsgberg have been on the
varsity squad for two previous seasons
and Kim for one. Each member will
have his special work in the combina-
ton.
kim Is FIashy.
Bauer will handle the team in ac-
ton, do some of the passing and. pos
sibly, a little of the running. Cannon
is likely TO do most of the passing, a
good share of the running and may
handle the team on occasions.
kim is the flashiest runner of the
whole backfleld detachment, and the
Navy expects him 10 be its ace in this
line during the coming season. He de-
veloped brilliantly last year and has
kept up his good work in practice. On
defense Kim will be the safety.
Admittedly, much depends upon Hag-
berg, who has taken Clifton's place as
the heavy man in the backfield and
who will be expected to do much of the
blocking and to take the hardest knocks
on the secondary defense.
Hagberg Is Big.
.Hagberg, who weighs 1870 pounds, did
all his playing in the line until the
latter part of last season, but has
caught on to his work in the backfield
and won the confidence of the coaches.
Bowstrom and Bryan. tackles, and
Byng, right end are the fixtures on the
line. Tuttle is the first choice for CEN
ter, with Gray and Underwood standing
a little at the head of big field of
guard candidates. For the other end
Miller, Steffanides and Lawrence Smith
are in line.
The tentative line is a little heavier
than that Of last year, while the back
field is just little lighter, making the
average of the teams about the same.
However, the squad is we'll advanced
owing to the good work that was done
in Spring practice and the somewhat
earlier start of the regular practice
period This is important, in view of
the early game with Notre Dame, Oc-
tober IL.

DEWITT MAY HAVE GOOD
ELEVEN DESPITE LOSSES
Followers Of School Believe That Coach Mcnamara
Will Be Able to Build Combination Around
Few Remaining Veterans

~ ESPITE the loss of seven sea-
soned performers from last
years crack machine; despite
the pessimism of some, Dewitt
Prep followers are making no bones
about their opinion on the foot ball
prospects, which is, to-wit, that Coach
Jim Mcnamara is going to whip to-
gether a powerful eleven from the small
nucleus of Capt. Bits Schriver, Francis
Bernard. Charley Rose and Paul Tan
CORA and large group of untried, but
husky and peppery aspirants
Sure, they're big all rsght, but gosh,
they're as green as grass" was Coach
McNamaras comment as he stood, with
a typical Gil Dobie" expression on
his face, watching his squad scrimmage.
1t is doubtful if huskier bunch OF
athletes ever represented Dewitt on the
gridiron, but for the most part they
are unseaSoned, some, in fact, experience
ing the touch OF a pigskin for the first
time. Mcnamara has been working
EN- out daily, spending most of the
time teaching them the fundamentals
and the rudiments of tackling, block
ing and the like.
The average weight of the 10 lead
ing line candidates is 181 pounds, a
total of which even strong college teams
always do not boast of. The back
field. for which five players, Francis
Bernard, Ray Willard, Bit Schriver,
George Nagroni and Joe Cronin, are
outstanding. averages 156 pounds, but
looks shifty and fast, with Cronin
looming as the battering ram.

Besides those veterans from last year,
Dewitt has several newcomers who have
seen action with other local schools.
Ray Millard, one of the outstanding
broken field runners in the inter-high
school series last year while playing Tor
Western appears to have lost none OF
that stiffness, while Noble Cook, an
other former Western High athlete. is
fighting for line berth. Joe Rosen-
thai. the 260-pound heavyweight, was
a member of the Central squad, as was
Bill Childress, while Bob Mayo saw
little service with Tech.
1t is not at all improbable that Emer-
son Prep may flash an all-high school
backfield this year, judging by the work
of several former high school plgskin-
ners.
Jim Draper, Western High star last
year, has clinched the fullback post,
according TO Coaches Sanborn and
Keller, while Mike Mccarthy, formerly
of Eastern, has been showing to adj
vantage at halfback.

~ HARLOTTESVILLE, Va, Sep
TENDER 20.-Virginia opened
varied attack this afternoon to
defeat Roanoke College, 81 to O.,
before one Of the largest crowds ever
to see an opening game on Lambeth
Field.
Bill Thomas drove across the goal
with first touchdown in just 10 plays
after the Cavaliers received the opening
kickoff When Virginia got the ball
again Shipley sprinted AZ yards through
a broken field and on the next play
tossed a lateral pass to Bryant, who ran
10 yards across the goal.
Sippley scored the third touchdown
in the opening quarter by taking pass
from Thomas for Is yards.
Another touchdown was added in the
second period. Following spectacular
runs by Pinder substitute halfback,
Bryant carried across his second lateral
pass.
Virginia's chief weakness was its
failure to convert any except first point
after touchdown.
Roanoke put up q stubborn defense in
the third period and three times held
the Cavaliers Just snort OF goals, put
the Virginia attack clicked in the clos
ing quarter when Beury raced 20 yards
over the goal and Gravatt added the
last touchdown by an end run from
midfield
Both teams started elevens composed
largely of inexperienced men. Virginia
began with five lettermen, while Roa-
noke had only four. The Cavaliers
used 80 players during the afternoon.
Virginia's attack showed surprising
strength for an opening game against
a team noted as q dangerous early
season foe. Running plays mixed with
forward and lateral passes yielded first
downs while the visitors were held to
only two.
Though the attack was ragged at
times, on other occasions 1t brought
spectators to their feet.

TAKES OPENING GAME
Beats Randolph-Macon, 80 to 0,

Leader of Attack.

LEXINGTON, Va, September 20
Washington and Lee opened its season
with a 32-to-0 victory over the Ran
dolph Macon yellow Jackets on Wilson
Field this afternoon.
1t was a sluggish game of foot ball.
Midsummer heat prevailed and subSti-
buttons were many, as Coach Eugene
Oberst OF the Generals sent III 26 men.
The starting eleven was taken out late
in the second quarter and not replaced
until the fourth period.
Three of the touchdowns were scored
by the first string team and two by the
reserves.
Monk" Mattox, 150-pound backfield
player of the Generals, although not
scoring, was instrumental in the tallying
OF three touchdowns. Two runs of 40
yards each and pass to williams were
the factors behind three Of the Wash
ington and Lee scores.
Mattox ran up total gain OF 1853
yards from scrimmage.
Washington and Lee scored IS FIRST
downs, six in Randolph Macon's terri
tory and seven in their side of field.
Randolph Macon made two, both in
their own territory
Except for the pass Mattox to Will
liams, on which the latter scored, the
Generals aerial attack was ragged.
