OUR SYMPATHY

To have a child in the family
if only for a short time, and
then to have that child taken
away is a grief, a grief made
keener when the child is first
born. Such grief has come to
Mr.. and Mrs. Harold Starr
through the death Of their in
FAINT son who passed away Sat
urday. To these young par
ents, residents of the communi-
ty extend the hand of SYM
pathy and understanding, with
a word of hope that their sense
of loss may speedily be lessen
ed. In this feeling of fellow
ship with the bereft parents,
members Of the Gazette staff
join in the utmost sincerity,
both personally and fraternally.

ANNAPOLIS, Jan. IL. - The
Navy today joined California,
Penn, Alabama and other institu'
tions in the quest for a football
coach. William A. CNavy Bill"D
Ingram announced in a telegram
from the Midwest that he would
not return this year to coach the
Middies on the gridiron.
1t was understood here that In,
gram had signed to coach at an,
other school but no announcement
was made of his new post. Ingram
came to Annapolis in 1926. Last
season Navy had its worst year
under his direction and the coach
was said to be discouraged with
results.
Edgar Miller, a tackle at Notre
Dame in the year of the famed
Four Horsemen, may succeed In
gram. He has been line coach
here for four seasons under In
gram and has given excellent in
struction. Miller is engaged in
business in Washington, D. c.

This booking, which is to be
launched in 1882, more than
atones from any disappointment
occasioned by the calling off of
next seasons attraction.
Coach Bergman. who is now
striving to fill the date vacated
by Holy Gross and at least one
other, confesses disappointment
in the cancellation of the 1881
contest but is more than pleased
with the new pact drawn up be-
tween the schools.
Agrees to Change
He said today:
Naturally we had hoped to
go through with our scheduled
1881 game. But, since Holy
Cross had its heart set on meet
ing Dartmouth, felt that it
was no more than fair that l
should consent to the suggested
arrangement.
1--WE could, of course, have
held Holy Cross to the original
agreement. AS it stands, how
ever, / don't know but what
we might benefit by the new
order of things.

Today's
Sportorial
BY KIRK MILLER

Day by day it is beginning to
look like nobody wants any part
of Jack Sharkey.
In behalf of his boy William,
PA" Stribling told New Workers
that it is Schmeling. not Shar.
key, in whom the famous South
ern family is interested.
And while Joe Jacobs has not
come out so frankly as Stribling
the real truth is that Schmel-
ing wants no part of Sharkey
either.
1t is quite plain that both
Jacobs and Schmeling figure
they've got to make a little
money out of the title before
taking on Sharkey, against
whom they are none too sure
they could successfully defend
the title.
In the case of Stribhng, a de-
feat at the hands of the Boston
sailor would just about put the
former Macon schoolboy on the
top shelf of the boxing and both
"Pa" and Bill know it.
Sharkey has already shellacked
Stribling, keeping his left fist
flicking in the Georgian's face
pretty we'll throughout Is
rounds at Miami Beach year
ago last February.

strib Out of Order

Certainly no fair-minded fight
fan is going to say, therefore,
that Stribling deserves a crack
at Schmeling and his title (pro'
vided you agree with us that
Schmeling's title can not be
lifted by a boxing board) until
Strib has retraced his tracks
and cleaned up Sharkey. a very
important piece of flotsam now
floating in the heavyweight
stream.
No, we do not believe Strib-
ling deserves shot at
Schmeling yet a while. We
believe in letting Strib fight the
German next month or next or
next, he would be following his
old custom of picking his spots.
Let him first prove he can
best Sharkey, the man who
had Schmeling on the ropes
before the latter yelled Coma
rade." 1t is very doubtful in
the minds of many that Strib-
ling can take Jack the Tar
and we believe that same doubt
exists in the minds of both
PA" and Bill stribling.

NAVY MAY S|GN.FOUR CONTESTS
D. c. RESIDENT IN CONFERENCE

CHICAGO, Jan. IL. Things
we're turned upside down in the
Western Conference Basketball
race today as 8 teams awaited
the tip-off tonight in contests
which may further scramble the
standings.
AS the result Of 5 games played
Saturday night Minnesota, Ohio
State, Chicago and Northwestern
are tied, for first place.
The four contests tonight
bring together Northwestern
and Illinois at Champaign, ILL.,,
Wisconsin and Michigan at
Ann ArbOr, Purdue at Iowa
and Ohio State at Indiana.
Illinois, with its two defeats, is
not expected to repel the North
western five, which looms as a
title threat this year.
Wisconsin, suffering from a
trouncing Saturday night at Ohio
State, is not expected to survive
Michigan's efforts while the Ohio
State-Indiana game appears like
an even matter.
Purdue, although defeated by
the Michigan five, is expected to
best IoWa'S machine.

team capable of stepping out
with good clubs. And by 1888
it is possible that we will be
established on an even footing
with elevens that swamped us
last fall"
1t is Bergman's desire to bring
a Mid-Western football team here
another year. Thus far, however
he has been utterly unable tc
strike upon anything remotely
approaching financial compro
mise.
Ask Big Money
He explained this morning:
"IntersectiOnal teams, as you
know, usually demand huge
guarantees. And it's beginning
to look as if 1 will have to
abandon any idea 1 may have
had of lining up such an at
traction.
IN the meantime, I have
sent a number of letters that
likely will result in filling out
our schedule shortly. On the
whole, / look for our 1881
games to be brighter than those
of last year."
