CHEER STUNTS
FOR NAVY

Navy's cheering section has be-
come known as one of the most
colorful in the East. To gain this
reputation the midshipmen took
page from California and at.
tempted to improve on the idea.
This summer, while cruising
under lazy skies, Navy's cheer
leaders worked out the compli-
Gated details necessary for pro-
ducing their stunt"
During tomorroW's Navy-Mary-
land game at the Clark Griffith
Stadium 1880 midshipmen will be
busy producing living, moving,
pictures in color for the occasion.
The first display is greeting
Alloy" in red and blue.
Immediately after this in
order will follow: Naval Aca-
denny flag in blue and white,
State flag of Maryland, Navy
Goat, Maryland Terrapin, Naval
Academy shield in red, blue and
gold.
The new Navy system of pic
lures and cheering has never be-
fore been presented in Washing
ton. Navy's busy cheerleader
staff consists of the following
midshipmen: Stunts-F. D. Foley,
j. j. Loughlin, M. A. Fawcett and
E. r. Hodgkins. Cheering-H. l..
Jukes, H. H. Head, N. B. Rhodes,
j. D. Lamade.
Entails Much Practice
The living displays are pro-
duced from blue prints which
show every mans particular duty
in the setting. Most institutions
find it difficult to duplicate the
idea; for a block of over $500
trained men in identical garb is
required for a background.
Cards of various cOlOrs cost
ing $1OO season must be pro-
vided as well as detailed in
StructiOnS to everyone who par
ticipateS. Navy's cheering Sec
tiOn gets out in the fall air at
least three nights during every
week of the season in prepara-
tiOn for the between-the-halves
stunts. ,
Navy has used a goat as omen
OF good luck ever since 1890. In
that year the midshipmen were on
a train en- route to big game
when some one pointed out that
a mascot Of some sort would be
needed. The train moved on,
passing a number of pigs and a
donkey. Everyone rather hest
tated about taking up with these
animals. However, when the train
stopped for water, some one spied
a goat with the result that it be-
came a member of the Navy con-
tingent before the train started
again. Navy won the game in
question with the result that the
Regiment of Midshipmen never
have given up faith in the goat
family as maScots.

But more than that, Rocks
memory will be in the hearts of
the Irish warriors who engage the
Northwestern Wildcats in hopes
of annexing their twenty-first
consecutive victory.
If Notre Dame is triumphant
again, a new recort,. will be estab-
lished at the Catholic school in
ternationally known for it's brand
of football.
Ten years ago the Irish scored
20 straight wins. Last Saturday,
in swamping Indiana at Bloom
ington, they equalled this number.
Odds Favor Irish
Hunk" Anderson was one Of
the players who helped establish
that record a decade ago. On
Saturday, as head coach, he hopes
to shatter the old mark.
The odds are distinctly in
favor of NOtre Dame, particu-
larIy since Reb Russell, crack
grOund-gainer for the Purple,
will be out o. the game be-
cause of injuries received
against Nebraska
Nevertheless, the Irish coaches
claim the elevens are evenly
matched and around the North
western campus there is a spirit
which might be called bravado.
Coach Dick Hanley probably
will fill Russelrs post with Oliver
Olsen, a giant sophomore. His
backfield will number only one
veteran, Rentner, at right half.
Stronger on Line
Notre Dame, on the other hand
is likely to be supported by seven
men who played last year under
Rockne-Cronin, Culver, Hoff
man. Leahy. Mcnamara, Schwartz
and Yarr.
In line strength, NOtre Dame
is expected to have slight
edge.
Both teams have been prepar'
ing against the passing attack of
the other. The Purple coaches
feel they may anticipate an over
head attack, even though the
Irish resorted seldom to passing
against Indiana.
Coach Hanley's greatest worry
is over requirements. The game
probably will be such that two
men will be required for almost
every position. NorthWestern's re-
serves are deficient, while Notre
Dame proved its strength in this
department by sending virtually
three different teams against the
Hoosiers last Saturday.

AL Woods, Maryland quarter,

medal forwarded to him last year

graduating from Columbia High
School at Columbus, Ohio. 1t
was during a six months tour of
duty in Nicaragua that he earned
his medal.

In 1917 Navy defeated Mary
land 81 to 0. Last year the Old
Liners tapered this down to
Navy, s; Maryland, 0. This year
may be the turning point. In
nine games played since 1897,
Maryland has crossed Navy's
goal only three times, scoring in
only two games out of nine.
Both Maryland and Navy have
been hard-working teams in past
seasons.
Last year a 94-yard run BY
Johnny Branch of North Carolina
ruined an outstanding season fol
the Old Liners. In same fashion
a 57-yard dash by Ray Stecker ir
the Army-Navy game dashed the
Midshipmen's hopes last year
The Navy-Maryland game occu
pies the date of the Navy-Notrt
Dame game last year. The Mid
shipmen experienced a hard after
noon in 1880.
In 1880 Navy and Maryland
each made IL first downs, both
being penalized over 40 yards
Navy gained 229 yards on line
plays and Maryland 1913.

Both Georgia and Yale will

A steady rain yesterday did
not keep Yale from working. An
unexpected scrimmage marked
Yale'S workout. No attempt
was made to score in the game
between the varsity and gray

the Yale backs handled the ball
cleanly. Yale was expected to
start it's regular varsity tomorrow.
