SURPRISINGLY
IN NAVY LINEUP
Miller Not to Name Players
Until They Take Field
Against Army.

A NNAPOLIS, November 23.-
~ The makeup of the Navy
n team which is expected to
start against the Army
eleven in Philadelphia Saturday
is nearly complete, though in sew
eral positions there are two play
ers who rank as flrst-string
choices, who may be in the game
for about an equal part of the
time.
The starting lineup Is Head Coach
Ripp Millers secret and will not be
generally known until the service teams
face on Franklin Field. The plan fol-
lowed by the Navy in its last three
games of starting the heaviest team
possible may be followed, in which
case defensive game at the start will
be indicated, or the team may be picked
to begin q strong offensive at once.
The heaviest line the Navy can put
on the field is made up as follows: Left
end Capt. Hugh Murray; left tackle,
Bill Brooks; left guard, Dave Zabriskie; ;
right guard, Bob johnson; right tackle,
Slade Cutter; right end, Bob Dornin.
The average weight of this line Is over
1877 pounds, while the Army line, &C
cording to officials figures, averages
exactly 1s3 pounds.

the physical peculiarities OF each in

Consider the stars Of the game,
both pro and amateur. No two play
alike in every essential for any one

Had Problem in Line.

The problem of building line around
only one 1882 regular and of revamp-
ing q backfield riddled by graduation
obviously failed in every way to con-
found Kasper. Taking over the situa-
ton calmly, yet masterfully, the former
Notre Dame athlete has made good with
plenty to spare.
The Jack Rabbits visit to Washing
ton should prove conclusively to just
what an extent speed can be utilized.
Unable to cope with a majority Of sec
tional rivals in wide-open play and
making little use of forward passing,
Kasper nevertheless has developed a
running attack that is as spectacular
as it is result-getting.
Wide end sweeps Of sensational order
and dazzling broken field running have
played a major part in South Dakota
States wins thus far this season. the
light but speedy Jack Rabbit backs

Numbering several sprint stars among
his ball runners, Kasper has taken care
to get the most out Of highly special

the field, but 1t does seem that in at
least two respects revisions in the
code are desirable from every stand
point.
One is to return the goal posts
where they belong to revive field
goal kicking, which has become al
most as much of a lost art as sack
thievery in base ball.
The other Is to modify the dead

Having play terminated when a

After talking with something like

for change.
