Wood Well Qualified.

THROUGHOUT the years, steadfast
adherence to the rule that only
an officer regularly in service shall
teach foot ball at the institution
among the Hudson highlands kept
Blaik from succeeding Maj. Ralph
Sasse Just as certainly as it will insure
Lieut.. Davidson's departure from his
post at West Point and his assignment
to such engineering duty as may be
regarded desirable for him.
Meanwhile, talk runs as to his
probable successor. Various officers
attached to the foot ball staff at West
Point, present and past, have been
named: but this writer herewith as
serts that there is only one possible
choice. just as he predicts that the
next head coach on the plains will be
Lieut.. Bill Wood, great backfield man
in his day at West Point, and for sew
eral years past valued assistant
coach.
He has every qualification for the
post and he will not be overlooked.
What the writer means to say Is he
has not been overlooked.

Won't Sacrifice Tradition.

CERTAINLY, they would not be
sacrificed as the price Of victory,
and, since tradition is Of the very es-
sence Of the institutional system at
the national academy, it may be ac-
cepted as foregone that tradition
would not be sacrificed either.
This Is to say that when Lieut.. Gar
Davidson's four years ofservice ascoach
expire after this season, he will not be
assigned to the academy for an extra
tour of gridiron duty. If 1t were not
for rigid observance Of principles and
policies, Earl Blaik, now head man at
Dartmouth, would be coach Of West

TOOT BALL In the United States
- Army, which Is to say West
Point, is regarded as an inte-
grail part Of the training Of
young men for duty in the armed
service of the Nation. Over and above
this, the value of the game as a means
of enhancing the spirit and augment
ing the solidarity of the corps of cadets
is by no means ignored or underesti-
mated.
Victory Is held to be desirable In
the academic scheme of things, II only
because success is the highest sane

Army as in civil life. Which, Of
course, is not to say that moral sane

sent two of the most consistent and
capable players in the title fight in
Bill Kemp, center, and Al Kidwell,
quarterback.
Kemp, who suffered nasty cut over
his left eye early in the game, was an
instrumental factor in jamming
Techs running plays, while the hard
hitting Kidwell was a continual
threat with accurate passes and some
of the most devastating line smashing
of the series.
Tech made its most sustained bid
for a touchdown in the first quarter
when Johnny Williamson sliced OF
right tackle for Is yards to plant the
ball on Eastern's 80. Jack Belote
then fumbled, however, and Joe
Spigone recovered for Eastern to end
the threat.
