TIE FOR
TITLE

ANNAPOL1S, May 20. - Inc
&act that the members of the
Naval Academy lacrosse team
understand that they are not the
favorites in Saturdays game here
against the University of Mary
land, may turn to advantage for
the Middies, who are Keyed up
to a high pitch for their final
encounter.
It is the Navy's one chance
} to take high ranking in inter
collegiate lacrosse this wear. A
victory would likely mean tie
with it's fellow townsman, st.
Johns, for first place, while a
defeat would put 1t at the bottom
of the four Maryland giants in
this sport.
Averaged 141a Points
The Navy is doing everything
possible to overcome the handi-
cap it knows it suffers in not
having met teams of highest
caliber, while Maryland has had
its double baptism of fire IN st
Johns and Johns Hopkins.
Still, . team which can
meet six teams of fair stand
ing in the world of intercOl-
legiate lacrosse and average
141s points a game, while only
five-sixths Of a point has been
the average tally against it,
cannot be left out of cOnsid-
Grafton.
This is the record of the Naval
Academy team:
Naval Academy. 10: Western

Naval Academy, "a; Georgia

ette, 0.
Naval Academy. IL; Brown. 2.

opponents. S.
The Naval Academy team has
only three regulars of last sea
son. They are: James, first de-
, fense; Castree, third attack. ana
Moncure, in home. James came
to the Naval Academy from Cen
trail High, Washington, D. c.
Capt. Jerry Smith, goal, who
would have made E. fourth, will be
kept out of the game by his bad
knee.
However, the balance of the
team is made up of players
who have generally been on
the varsity squad for one or
two seasons prior to this and
who are not without match ex-
perience, though it has been
brief.
Several of the players, notably
Moncure, Morrow and O'Nelll,
with Ferguson, a reserve, have de-
veloped into very skillful scorers,
and may penetrate the strongest
defense.
The team is stronger one ply
sically than the Navy has had for
some years. Much dependence
will be placed in Hagberg, 80
. pound fullback of the football
team, who plays at point. James,
kirkpatrick and Elliott are all
big and powerful fellows. James
and Elliott are football men,
while Kirkpatrick is the Acad-
emy'S 175-pound wrestler.

SEASERPENT STORY
IS PROVED TRUE BY
CAPTURE OF SNAKE
Ohio Men Pull Huge Reptile
From Sandusky Bay; Ply.
thon, Says Naturalist

Sandusky, Ohio, July 22.-P)-A
search by skeptical Sanduskians for q
sea serpent in Lake Erie near here,
ended Tuesday night when two Gin
cinnatt men announced they had
captured an 18-foot snake while fish
ing In sandusky bay. The snake was
held in captivity today by its finders,
Frank Bagentose and Clifford Will
on.
Bagentose and Wilson said the
snake came to the surface Of the bay
neal their rowboat. Wilson hit it
with an oar. Hauling it into their
boat, they took it ashore and packed
it in q box. They said they would
take 1t to Cincinnati.
Harold L. Madison, curator OF the
Cleveland Museum of Natural HIS
tory, examined the snake and judged
it was a python. 1T is not a native
of this section" he said, NOR OF any
place within several thousand miles"
Several theories were offered how
the reptile might have reached San
dusky bay. It was suggested 1t might
have escaped from q o or circus.
Also. It was recalled such a snake was
49,
reported to have escaped from an
Erie railroad express car q few miles
south of here several months ago.
In the last few days several SAN
duskians had reported seeing q sea
serpent" in the lake but until the ID
foot snake was found their frlends
believed they were joking, and We'd
nesday many persons continued 10
suspect someone was perpetratlng a
hoax.
There was no denying the snake,
however.
II am not an authority on snakes,
of course" Madison said. However,
it is obvious that the creature Is q
snake and that 1t is a tropical snake
Madison estimated the a e
weighed around 100 pounds.

Chang Hsueh-Liang. governor Of
Manchuria, in behalf Of Chang Kali
Shek, president of the nationalist
government, in which the latter con
ditionally offered to resign and sug-
gested all China unite in declaring
war upon Japan.
The telegram assertedly proposed
in behalf of Chang that all prov
inces in China contribute toward
sending 100000 troops to the Korean
border as a military operation against
Japan. Since the Canton govern
ment was represented as not approx
ing the war proposal. the telegram as
yet has not been answered.
