NAVY HAS BIG TASK

Displays Many Fine Performers in
Opener, Clark and Rankin

A NNAPOLIS, Md, October 3.-Navy
~ foot ball squad began work yes
= terday under the very strict acad-
emy routine which allows but a
linHted time for practice. However,
with nearly a month on the two
a-day basis, the team has reached q
high point of development for this
period, as indicated by its work Satur-
day against William and Mary.
The work of number Of the backs
Saturday made the selection OF a first
string q task Of more difficulty. Swede
Larsen looked better than Bill Clark at
fullback in several departments Of the
game, showing a most notable improve
ment over last years form in both the
running and kicking. The distance, d1-
rection and elevation Of his punts were
ahead Of anything shown by q Navy
player for years.
Rankin, 148-pound half from the
Plebes Of last year, proved that he must
be considered among the first selec-
rions As a dodging back he Is far
ahead of anything the Navy has had
recently. Fred Berries, Gordon Chung
hoon, Ben Walkup and, at times, Reds
Baumberger. all showed f1rst-string
qualifications.
The Navy, playing Mercer here next
Saturday, will make a strong attempt
to better the score Of 10 to by which
the Georgians were defeated by the
Army last Saturday.

0VERCAME ODDS
TO BEAT MERCER
Scrappy Spirit, Efficiency in
Fundamentals Gain Fine
Victory.
BY LAWRENCE PERRY.

n YEW YORK, October s.
M There was something very
/ Y fine and gallant about
West Points victory over
Mercer in the Niche Stadium
last Saturday. It was achieved
in the face of the fact that from
rigid critical standpoint the
Army may not as yet be said to
have developed to a state Of gen.
eral efficiency, which, with all due
allowances for early season flaws
and defects, we look for in a
major eleven even in its initial
test.
But what the Army did have was an
enterprising spirit, an indomitable will
to win and not the slightest trepidation
in facing glowingly heralded opponent
Of enormous size.
The Cadets will meet no bigger eleven
this season and, with the exception Of
Notre Dame and Yale, none as big. Yet
with energy and ferocity characteristic
Of Army teams from the beginning Of
foot ball at this national academy, they
tore into those Dixie giants, never let
ting up from whistle to whistle and 30
prevailing against heavy physical odds.
Knew Their Foot Ball.
1t was a triumph of mind over mat
ter in more ways than one. for in ad-
dition to speed and physical drive. the
Cadets knew more about foot ball than
their opponents; their grounding had
been more thorough and quite evi-
IDENTIFY more comprehensive.
And it was this fundamental pro-
ficiency which enabled the Army team
to get by. Much has yet to be done in
co-ordinating the single wing back at
tack. In delivering power with force,
precision and greater deception, espe-
cially to the weak side. A great deal,
in brief, has to be done in almost every
respect. But it will be done Evidences
of all processes Of exact instruction
were not lacking In the poise of the
players and in their collective ma
neuvers.
West Point may fall far-or not 50
far-short of cleaning up this season;
but In any case we may expect to see
before long a Cadet team qualified to
meet the Army standard Of foot ball
| and to play the game in a manner com.
mensurate with the position she has
won for herself in the sport. And that,
after all, is the main thing.

HARVARD RETURNS
TO SPARTAN STYLE
Beaten Two Seasons in Row
by Yale, Casey Sheds
SiIken Glove.
BY BILL KING,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

~AMBRIDGE, Mass, Octo-
I Der Stalking q page
" from the foot ball book Of
the late P. D. Haughton,
his illustrious teacher, Eddie Casey
is making drastic changes and
telling blunt truths as he pre-
pares his hand-picked Harvard
squad for its rapidly approach
ing gridiron wars.
For the last two years the genial and
soft-spoken Casey has ruled with gen.
tie hand. Two straight defeats by Yale,
however, have changed him into q DOM
mating and driving coach, welcome
news to those hardy souls OF the
Haughton era who have never forgiven
his successors for turning their backs
on the masters Spartan teachings.
Casey had 16 lettermen hanging over
from last years mediocre team, plus
many semi-experienced substitutes and
q dozen or so likely looking sophomore
prospects. There was not an outstand-
ing player Of the Jack Orchard type
in the squad. but it did have balance
that was sadly missing In 1882.
A s would be expected, Casey first
~ tried to build his varsity from his
most seasoned material. He put
an H" man in every position, only to
have most Of them wilt on him in the
very first scrimmage.
Previously Casey had been unusually
patient about the early failures Of his
veterans and would wait until they had
rounded into form.
Therefore they were not pre-
pared for the sudden and drastic
shake-up that dumped some Of
them - far down - the third
team and elevated SIX sopho-
mores into varsity berths.
Since then two Of the tagging vet
Grams, Harry Wells and Tom Nazro,
regular quarterback and end last sea-
son, have spurted enough to regain
their positions, but 1t is safe to say that
the Harvard team that opens against
Bates next week will contain many new
faces, including the grim visages Of four
or five fighting sophomores.
n EGARDLEsS of how Cases dis
Il poses of the generous amount Of
material under his command, the
Harvard team will not average much

weight, however, should not prove Sc
rious, for he has discarded his rela-
lively simple formations for an intricate
and more varied attack that puts pre-
MUM on split-second timing rather
than on bulk and force.
But the Crimson varsity, with the ex-
ceptions Of Capt. Johnny Dean, forced
to play a triple-threat fullback role due
to the scarcity Of kicking and passing
talent, and Frank Lane, the most prom
ising sophomore ball carrier, Is not
breaking any records mastering the
new attack which probably will be kept
under cover until Holy Cross visits the
stadium late in October.

games: October Z, Bates; II, New

nj 3-Under the elms OF

Root, a big, sandy-haired
youngster, has taken tradition
where it tapped and bulged most

as he is to the "big three" coach

heights Just as 1t may swamp the
Blue when cold experience and the
steadinesS Of a veteran count SO heav-
lily in November.
But at the moment Root has
added brighter hue to every
phase Of the Yale situation.
Already he has decided that the ira
ditional Yale offense will lean this Fall
toward the Notre Dame style Of play as
taught by two assistants OF his own
type, Adam Walsh, who handles the
line, and Bucky O'Connor. who teaches
the backs. He has an inspiring cap
tain in Bob Iassiter, the galloping
halfback from the Carolinas.
As to the material. 10 letter men
are back and IA have gone from the
squad that walloped Harvard 1910 and
tied Princeton TT last Fall.
Ends Chief Problem.
The chief problem is on the wings
where a couple Of sophomores prob
ably will be developed by Charley

Bob Train has been shifted to end
from guard, Kim Whitehead and Bernie

Wilson was a freshman star last Fall.

Cy Tyson had experience last year.

Veteran backs who graduated were Joe

The line, aside from ends, Is strong
Vic Malin and Joe johnson are vet
