.HARDW|CK NAMED
NAVY GRID COACH
Hamilton Ordered to Sea.
Former MILDLY End Tutor
to Succeed Him.

A NNAPOLIS, January 14-Lieut.
~ Harry J. Hardwick, or Just
~ Hank to foot ball fans, has
4 n been named to the post of
head foot ball coach Of the Naval
Academy. He will succeed Lieut.. Tom
j. Hamilton, who has been ordered to
sea after spending three years as head
coach.
The officers will make their move
next month, Hardwick taking over
the reins about February Is. At pres
ent he is attached to the U. S. S.
Arizona.
Hardwick's selection did not come
as surprise. His name, along with
several others, has been mentioned
prominently ever since the Navy sent
Army down to defeat in the closing
game of the 1886 season.
Starred With Hamilton.
THE new coach has been identified
closely with Navy athletics for a
number Of years. He was associated
with Hamilton as player and coach,
and the change is not expected to up
set matters at Annapolis.
Hamilton and Hardwick played on
the great Navy eleven of 1926, the for
mer back and Hank at end.
Hardwick, who was a star on the
1924, 1925 and 1926 teams, played the
greatest game of his career against
the Army at Chicago in his last year
on the eleven. The service teams
battled to a 21-to-21 tie.
Formerly End Coach.
Hardwick was end coach at the
Naval Academy in 1928 and 1929. The
next season found him on the West
Coast, where he coached the cham
pionship feet team. He returned to
Annapolis in 1881 as end coach of the
plebe eleven, position he also filled
in 1888. He was head coach of the
plebes in 1884.
The civilian coaches include Edgar
E. (Rip) Miller, line coach; John N.
Wilson and Martin Karow, backfield
coaches, and Frank Foster, "B" squad
coach.
These will be augmented by officers
who later will be ordered here.

Code Causes Concern.

60 v1RGIN1A's action as to its
~ athletic code really is a source
of more concern than what it may
do about its foot ball coaching and
athletic staff. To those in the AnoW
it was apparent such changes were
due to come, for despite the Cavaliers
failure their material has been on a
par with some of the other schools
in the conference, although it has
been far from matching that OF its
traditional foot ball rival, North Caro-
lima, and Duke.
Two things that probably broke
the camel's back" were the loss OF
money on the game with North Caro-
lima last Fall at Charlottesville, when
the receipts were less than the an
nual guarantee agreed upon by the
two schools and other expenses, and
the 65-to-0 lacing the Cavaliers took
at the hands of Harvard in Cam

TExACO LOSES
LEASE BATTLE
WITH EWALD

Failure of The Texas company's
utilization of Section 9-3,2N-5W. in
South Cut Bank oil field, may re-
suit from a supreme court decision
Wednesday whereby the courts up
held the title of Nadeau Brothers
to 80 acres as against the claims of
The Texas company.
The 80 acres, described as SEX
NWA and NEA SWA Sec. 8, is
in the center of the Untitled block,
and the landowner, Fred Ewald of
Great Falls not only refused to go
through with the utilization but
gave his lease to Nadeau Brothers
while The Texas company held on
to a lease which had been escrow
ed with a Denver bank before the
completion of the Texaco discovery
we'll in Section 16-S2-5W. Owing to
an alleged defect in the title, Tex
AGO did not pay draft which would
have given surrender of the lease.
After the well was completed, Ewald
ordered the bank to return the
lease. Texaco enjoined the bank
but Ewald gave a new lease and
Nadeau Brothers brought suit to
quiet title, winning in both the dis
trict and the supreme court.
A sensation grew out Of the 'spe-
cial opinion by Chief Justice w.
B. Sands on the Montana Supreme
court, who not only concurred with
the four associate justices in up
holding the lower court but levied
fine of $4,000 against the Tex
as company and $4,000 against
each of two attorneys represent
ing the corporation. He said that
the fine was not collectable' and
the other judges concluded their
findings with the statement:
1--WE expressly and specifically
disclaim any responsibility what
ever for all of the remarks, state
ments, observations and conclusions
found in the special opinion filed
in this cause by the chief justice OF
this court"
Inasmuch as it requires an or
der signed by three justices to car
ny out the contempt of court held
by the chief justice, nothing is ex-
pected to result from the matter OF
the fines.
