Special Dispatch to The Star.
A NNAPOLIS, November 12-The
~ dual job of the Navy coaches
~ this week is to keep their
4 n charges from counting too
much on their victory over Penn Sat-
urday and to make them take seriously
the Columbia game here next Sat-
urday.
Naturally elated at having at last
defeated major opponent, the Navy
players must be made to realize that
very little improvement in the offense.
particularly the passing attack, was
manifested in the Penn game
That Pennsylvania made 16 first
downs to the Navy's 4. and the latter
completed but two passes in eight
tries and had two intercepted. is
being impressed on the Navy players.
Something of start was made yes
terday, though the practice period was
short and those who took part in the
Penn game were not allowed to do any
rough work However, Hamilton went
over the Penn game with the team and
outlined the work of the present week.
Practice will for the most part be
secret. Good results were obtained in
this way, and it will continue, with
hints of more changes in the lineup
to be tried against Columbia.

Marquette and Syracuse.

WHAT about Marquette?' or
what about Syracuse" seems
to be one of the main topics for alert
letter writers.
There doesn't seem to be anything
the matter with Marquette and Syra-
cuse, as far as rival teams can locate
any loose spots. Marquette has able
backs in Buivid and Guepe, while
Syracuse has a runaway entry in
Vannie Albanese.
On Saturday. Marquette has to meet
Temple as Syracuse moves against
Colgate. Here are two toss-ups. with
strength on all four fronts. Which
means that We can get better line
on Marquette and Syracuse by Satur-
day night. Whatever happens then,
both have had big years. It's Col
gate, however. that Syracuse wants
with both Vic Hanson and Andy Kerr
saying the other team ought to Win.
Speaking of the Rose Bowl.
1T MIGHT interest number of
long-distance telephoners, tele-
gram senders and letter writer's that
our connection with the Rose Bowl
selection is less than one OF the
thorns on one of the roses that will
make up the parade.
So far, supporters for Southern
Methodist, North Carolina, Syracuse
and Marquette-with Dartmouth
waiting for the Tiger aftermath, but
still in the background-have bonn
barded this department about the
Rose Bowl choice.
In the first place, Southern Metho-
dist has U. C. L. A. and T. c. u.
practically an entire alphabet, ahead
with a feeling expressed by Far
Western writer's that Texas is too
close to the Pacific Coast. We can
see no reason why Southwest team
shouldn't be named if it qualities.
North Carolina has an aroused Duke
team on hand this week, while both
Syracuse and Marquette have double
armful to face in Colgate and Temple.
Notre Dame isn't out yet
and there's a tip around that
Notre Dame still may slip back
into the running.
What about the West Coast? Cali
fornia now is far in the lead. but
suppose Stanford bowls over the
golden bear of Berkeley? So far the
Cardinal attack has been weak. 1t
has scored only one lone touchdown
against U. c. L. A. Washington and
Southern California, while against the
same three teams. California has
planted seven touchdowns.
Moscrip's field goals have been
Stanford's main scoring attack. Stan.
ford will have to beat California de-
cisively to get the call again.
Also, there is little question that
the Rose Bowl selectors would like to
have Princeton or Minnesota. pro-
vided they carry on. If either could
be dislodged from their anti-post
season anchors. AS long as these
anchors are planted by college presi-
dents or faculty agreements. there
doesn't seem to be much chance.
In the meanwhile, even with one OF
the weaker conference teams, Ber-
wanger of Chicago still Is under full
steam.

will be overconfident when they meet
the Wolverines Saturday.
On their records this season. Min

have disposed of six straight oppo-
nents, enough of them tough for
thorough testing purposes. The VOL
verines have won four out Of six, but
locked like anything but a powerful
eleven in losing to Illinois crippled
team last Saturday.
The book shows. however, that MIN
nesota never has been able to conquer
Michigan two year: in a row. In fact,
the men from the North have de-
feated Michigan only three times in
% starts. Michigan won ali the rest
but 2, which ended in ties. The
furnished the start of the famous
Little Brown jug" rivalry.
Tie in 1888 Cost Title.
N7ITh a chance of winning the Big

Michigan, the Gophers were held to
scoreless tie. Last year Minnesota
defeated Michigan "a to 0.
Just in case the Gophers might
suffer a touch of overconfidence As
sistant Coach Sig Harris. who secuted
the rain ridden Michigan Illinois
game, told them that the Wolverine
offense was upset by the weather.
Michigan and Minnesota came out
of their recent tests in good condition
physically, but five other teams were
not so fortunate. Illinois probably
will face Ohio States might without
the services of Lowell Spurgeon,
