NAVY WILL HOLD
SPRING GRID
PRACTICE

ANNAPOLIS, Dec. 8. - Navy
will carry on football practice
during the coming spring along
the same serious and extensive
basis of last year. ..
Though there has been no defi-
mite selection as yet. it is regarded
as certain that Edgar c"RipD
Miller, for three years head foot
ball coach, will be retained. How
ever, there are reports Of inn
portant changes in connection
with next years staff.
The graduation of such larse
number of varsity players next
June, and indications that some
of their places must be filled from
players on the plebe squad makes
it highly important that these
comparatively green players
should be broke in before the
regular practice season begins. :,
There are also a number Of
players on B squad who began to
show form late in the season,
but who could not be used to any
extent on the varsity. Attention
will also be given to these, as
well as to the players who have
already made their places on the
varsity.
In the line, the center and end
positions must be filled while the
team has a fine pair of guards in
Captain Burns and Zabriskie.
The squad will have an excel.
lent center in RobertShaw, but
he is light, and more weight Is
needed in that position, particu-
larly as the first string guards
are both very light for the
places. Captain Murray, Fulp
and Miller, ends, will be among
the graduates. The only ends
who remain are Dornin and Man.
delkorn, though Bull, the big
place kicker, was transferred
there late in the season.
Hood, the 190-pound center OF
Squad B, and Madley, about the
same weight. the plebe snapper.
may be broken in as reliefs to
RobertShaW.
