Ingram Chief
Ball Carrier
Of Middies :

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Nov. 17.-It's
a good bet that Bancroft Hall,
where the midshipmen live, will
not be plastered this year with
signs which exhort the football
fans to watch MeyerI" The mid
dies tried that last year and while
the team was watching Meyer"
Grove scored two touchdownS in a
jiffy.
So this year, is such a slogan
appears, it will be mixed up with
"Watch Craig!" and watch KaS-
peri" and watch Ryan," and
"Watch All Of 'Em!" For the Army
has plenty of backs who need
watching, and it won't do for the
Navy players to neglect any OF
them.
All Of which brings out the fact
that the Army and Navy coaches
are trying to outsrnart each other
about this time, as they prepare
the strategy for the service school
game which is to be played in
Philadelphia November %.
Army Called Turn
Last year, the Army called the
turn by preparing touchdown plays
for Grove when the Navy players
were sure that Meyer was the one
man that needed much watching.
No one here doubts that the Army
will have plenty along the same
line, but they can only guess what
particular form it will take.
It is no secret the Navy will
have something for the Army
game which it has not intimated
so far, Just as the Army will have.
At Annapolis and West Point the
boards of strategy, headed by Tom
Hamilton and Gar Davidson, are
trying to devise plays that will
take their opponents off their
feet, as we'll as defensive meas
ures that will stop the attack. ,
In the near-rout of last year 1t
is sometimes overlooked that the
Navy had a new and effective at
tack, in which Sneed Schmidt car
ried the ball four out Of five times
and rarely failed to gain suoStan'
TALLY. Last year Schmidt was the
only Navy back who could be ex'
pected to do much in the carrying
line.
Situation Different
The situation is quite different
this year, and Tom Hamilton ana
his aids will not have to bank
solely on one ball carrier. young
Bill Ingram has rather taken
Schmidt'S place as the outStand-
ing running back, but Schmidt Is
still at the Navy, as good as ever,
and Antrim has developed into
one of the best all-around backs
the Navy has ever had. Then
there are Thomas and Reiman,
both splendid running backs.
Any Navy back may cut loose
with a well-directed pass, or ne
may be on the receiving end OF
a toss, so that the coaches have a
lot more factors in their attack
than last year, with greater Varla-
tions and possibilities. All this
means that the Army will have
more to watch and can't concen-
trate on any player any more
than the Navy can.
All this points to a fine game
of football when MILDLY and
Cadet meet in Philadelphia's Mu,
nicipal Stadium on the 28th. For
the first time in Is years, the
Navy Will probably be some
thing of a favorite. This doesn't
count much in service games,
however. A lot Of times they
have upset the done.

Neither the silver-thatched Doc

nor the chunky Spike Webb with
his big green bottle, will be seen on
Navy fields this season and regu-
lars at Navy games will feel like
the goalposts, the football or some
thing equally connected with the
game, is absent.
For 20 years Snyder has been
attached to the Navy team, and
he will remain as assistant for the
medical officer. Webb, who is head
boxing coach, will start work with
that squad on October /. M. Frank
Lynch, former Baltimore police
man and wrestler, will be trainer

Catholic University uncovered a
new ball carrier, while another
one of the reserve luggers went
bleeding off the field with a bat
tered nose yesterday in the second
scrimmage of the season.
Francis "Bull' German, Somers-
vile, Conn, sophomore fullback
candidate, did some fine ball tot
ing and convinced Coach Dutch
Bergman that he must be reckoned
with this season.
Joe Glodeck, a reserve halfback
of the past two seasons, collided
with Whitley Ambrose and Jim
O'Connor, guard and tackle re-
spectively, cracking his nose so
hard that he was helped from the
field.
This afternoon another long
drawn-out scrimmage will be held
on Killion Field. Practically the
same kind of work as has been run
off the first two scrimmage ses-
sions will prevail-only a bit
harder and more of it.

the word has gone out that, with
Judge Steffen on the job, Carne-
gle Tech may once more demand
it's place in the football sun. Rut-
gers will have a good team, but
Brown has definitely dropped from
it's once proud estate on the grid
iron, and the others are no better
than they should be.
That's the broad outline as Of
today. Injuries to key men or
development of new phenoms
could, and probably will, change
the present status of some of the
teams.
In any event, the East faces a
great season and most of the col
leges look for record breaking gates.
There will be plenty of stiff in
tersectional games and if any Of
those husky Western or Southern
teams come here looking for push
overs in the effete East, they are
due for the surprise Of their lives.
