Because of the increase in the postal business at Haines and at Bethel, the post offices at these towns have been advanced to the third-class offices. The advance in the grade of these post offices necessitated the appointment of the postmasters to Presidential appointment basis. The Dele gate recommended the appoint ment of Harold T. Jestland for the office at Bethel, and Augustus H. Kingsbury, Jr., for the office at Haines, both candidates being the present incumbents of their respective offices. The appoint ments were confirmed by the Senate on June 5.

TEAMS change lot as the season

one OF the best, after a bad start.
Look how far Harvard has moved up
since the Army game. California is
another that today is entirely different
from her October strength
The Georgia team that met Ford

that was beaten, 46 to 0, by Tennessee.

Harry Mehre's Georgia teams have
been rattlesnake venom for Northern

some four or five consecutive VIC

spirit and they've all been smart.

two worries as the annual

One is that his team, though fully
recovered from the influenza attacks
which caused trouble in midseason,
has not regained the form shown in
early season. The other is that the
blocking and tackling are not what
they should be.
Davidson pointed out yesterday
that only four days Of practice were
left in which the squad could regain
its edge" AS for the blocking and
tackling, he wants the players to de-
vote every possible minute to efforts
to improve their work.
If the cadets bring their funda-
mental performances up to the re-
quired standard, they should be able
to handle Navy's attack. for the coach
has given them intensive work on
defense against the plays reported by
the scouts.

Washington-West Virginia foot
ball game at Griffith Stadium figures
to enjoy decided edge. Nothing in
past performances. current practice
reports and mere guesswork by OBJ
servers indicates the battle to be any
thing other than an evenly contested
affair in which breaks of the game
may prove decisive.
In an examination OF past perform
ances 1t is found that both teams have
displayed strong aerial attacks and
somewhat weak aerial defenses. Hence
If the game develops into a forward
passing furry no one should seem sur
prised. George Washington hasn't
yielded a single touchdown through its
line, but has given up four touch
downs through the air, while its Thurs
day opponent has been scored on by
passing much more than by rushing
and at times has looked worse than
mediocre in trying to stop enemy
aerials.
Each team can thank its passing at
tack for lot of its success this year.
West Virginia's celebrated Kelly Moan,
a "chucker" of exceptional ability,
pulled the Western Maryland game out
of the fire for his team by tossing
three touchdown passes in the last
quarter He was chiefly responsible
with his strong right arm for West
