LIGHT ELEVEN
.|SPROSPECT
THIS YEAR

Speed and deception, perfect
blocking and thorough ground
ing in fundamentals-these are
watchwords at Annapolis this fall
where a willing squad of future
admirals is working hard in pre-
paration for one of the stiffest
schedules ever compiled for a
Navy football team.
Familiar watchwords, are they
not? Sound a lot like the stories
you've been reading under South
Bend, Ind, datelines for the past
decade,
There's. a reason. Rip Miller
one Of the seven mules who made
the Four Horsemen's exploits of
1924 possible, is head coach at
the Navy this season.
With a complete staff Of for
mer ROckne pupils to assist
him, RiL is busy grounding his
Middle" in the system which
made the name of NOtre Dame
q by.wOrd in the college foot
ball world.
OF course, one would expect
Miller, after four years under the
late Knute Rockne, to employ
the same tactics at the Navy
which Rock" used with such
amazing success at Notre Dame.
But necessity has also had a
hand in the shaping of the Mid
dies gridiron attack. The type
of material at Annapolis, as much
as Miller'S South Bend schooling,
has given the Navy Notre Dame
offensive.
with our type Of candi-
dates" the young Navy coach
points out, I'VE are forced to
have a Shifty attack.
"Our team will average only
40 pounds when we open
against william and Mary on
October 3. We have to cOncen-
trate on devOlping speed and
strong blocking to shake a ball
carrier loose in the open. We
haven't the weight to pound
out tOuchdOwnS through the
shOrt-gain route"
With lightweight backs of the
type of Bullet" Kirn, Soup"
Campbell, Konrad, Fleck, Denny
and Tschirgi backs from the 1890
squad, it looks like good common
sense on the part of Miller to
switch to the shifting offensive
which Rockne himself used when
his backfield material ran light.
Campbell. at ITO pounds. is the
heaviest of the Middle ball
carriers. Kirn tips the scales at
barely over 155 pounds
Two Speedy Runners
Those who saw Kirn and
Tschirgi and their veteran back
field mates in action against
Princeton and the Army last fall
will youch for the speed of Mil
ler'S ball carriers. And they know
how to use their feet and swing

Ter. with Christy Flanagan and
John O'Brien, two other Notre
Dame stars, are grounding them
thoroughly in Rockne football.
The Navy'S losses through
graduation have been heavy,
butS the Middle coaches are
shedding no tears. They're
counting heavily on their soph-
OmOfe linemen and their vet
eran backs.

are fixtures in the Navy's varsity
lineup, as is Kirn. left halfback,
the Middies's outstanding ball

McCrea, Chambers and James
are outstanding tackle candi-
dates; Smith and Elliott look
best at the ends, and Reedy has
shown up we'll at guard. Pray

wingmen, and Miller, Murray and
Fulp, of last years plebe team,
are also promising end material.

 assistant prosecuting attorney of the
 borough count was given a hearing
 before the Judiciary committee.
 Only one or the proposed bills
 seemed to have smooth sailing be-
 fore the committee. the bill intro
 duced by Representative Joseph l.. Jackson to bond the borough clerk
 There was no opposition to this
 measure.
 The proposed police pension bill
 came in for considerable comment at the hands of the committee and
 Judge Claremont I. Tolles of the
 local borough court opposed the bill
 in it's present form.
 Judge Tolles while not opposed to police pension bill stated that the
 bill as submitted was not for the
 best interests of the borough. He objected to the proviso in the bill whereby an officer pensioned would lave his pension proportionately in creased if any increase was granted in the wages of regular policemen. This section of the bill if enacted, woud in the opinion of Judge Tolles leave a loop hole whereby a bor- ough board, if it desired, knowing that an officer was to be pensioned increase the salary, the retiring of- ficer getting one half of the in creased pay in his pension. He also called attention to the fact that there are private policemen in the borough, although members of the police department, are not paid their salaries by the borough. These officers would also come under the benefits of the proposed pension bill. Others heard on the bill were Re- Hugh Burns who fa- vored the bills but had no objection in having the bill redrafted so as to take care of the questions brought up by Judge Tolles. Representative Joseph l.. Jackson voiced the opin- ion that the bills should have first been submitted to the freemen of the borough before being brought to the legislature for action. He thought efforts were being made to slip something over. Representative Jackson stated that several bills were submitted to the last session of the assembly to amend the bor- ough charter and that they had been referred back to the freemen or the | torough for vote. Nothing has ever been done about these bills, he added. Warden Frank T. Green was also heard on the bills. He was questioned at length as to the amount of work required of the bor-
