UnlCeQ states Naval AcaQemyS
football eleven will return to the
wars on Saturday afternoon, play
ing Princeton in Palmer Stadium.
Although the Tiger has felt the
lash of misfortune this season, the
board Of strategy at Crabtown-on-
the-Bay takes nothing for granted.
Princeton still is a well-coached,
hardfighting outfit that just has
been outmatched. 1t may hit a
peak on Saturday.
Convincing victory from a
coach's standpoint Is sought by
Navy on Saturday. The play of
the men will be considered beyond
the call of the score Of the game.
This is the final battle for the
future admirals before the all-im-
portant game with Army.
Lieut.. Hank H wick has
worked furiouSly since the Colum-
bia game developing a backfield
that carries a threat at all times.
It would not be surprising to see
Navy start the game with Bob
Antrim, Bill Ingram, Lem Cooke
and Art Franks behind the line.
There would be real quartet that
would have Army's eleven on the
alert from start to finish.
TOP DEFENSIVE PLAYER
Notre Dame men said after the
game with Navy that Franks was
one of the best defensive players
they had met all season. With
Wallace back at center and playing
nice football the line supports
would be ample. Antrim Is not the
fastest man for assignment on
the wings, but he is mighty eff
cient, and his ability to diagnose
plays more than compenSateS for
any lack Of speed.
Cooke and Ingram are both fine
running backs, but naturally, there
Is some question as to whether or
not Navy would consider it wise
to hurl them both into the game
at the same time instead Of follow.

Cooke as q replacement for In
gram. There are some Navy men
who would like to see both Cooke
and Ingram running behind the
blocking of Antrim and Franks.
HOYAS vs.. OLD LINERS
While Navy Swings back into
action with all guns bearing on
the Tigers, Georgetown and Mary
land prepare for their weekend
struggle. It is the final game Of
the season for Georgetown, and
Maryland has only a game with
Washington and Lee in the Balti,
more Stadium to round out its
schedule.
Georgetown has played splendid
football in its last two starts. The
Hoyas played a tie with West
Virginia practically all experts
predicted crushing defeat for the
Blue and Grey. Then, before a
cheering crowd of Georgetown
alumni, the Hoyas defeated New
York University.
Maryland lost two games on the
big swing. They bowed to Penn
and Penn State, in each case by a
touchdown, and only after a ter
rifle struggle. Maryland has a
well rounded attack, and carries a
scoring threat anywhere inside of
the 30-yard line in Pershing Mon.

Joe Mellendick, sophomore quar-
