Kuzma is ready and 30 is Mich
igan!
That was the consensus Of opin-
ion around this campus today as
the Wolverines prepared To head
for the land Of the Golden GopherA
Kuzma's passing, running and
kicking in yesterdays practice had
the coaches smiling. His old-time
form has returned. His poise and
timing are back.
More good news-Bob Wiese,
soph fullback. was back at prac-
tice, although limping badly. DR..
A. c. Coxon, team physician, says
his injured ankle will come along
fast now. There is slight chance
Wiese may play against the Goph-
ers If needed.
Michigan seems convinced that
Minnesota'S running attack is the
real poison. The Gophers have not
showed a passer thus far this
season.
MAIN THREAT
Although running is the main
threat, Coach Crisler is taking no
chances on a surprise aerial at
tack. Throughout the week he
has been drilling the team on pass
defense in which they were woe
fully weak against Northwestern.
Crisler announced he will take a
squad of 81 players on the Mime
sofa trip, leaving this afternoon
at 5:25-after a brief practice on
Ferry Field. The squad will arrive
tomorrow morning and will be
Iquartered at the Curtis Hotel.

charges through a light workout

NAVAL REVIEW IN KEY WEST HARBOR IS YEARS AGO
Railroad Rails OF Civil
War Days Salvaged In
Scrap Drive Forwarded
To Headquarters

Officers in the Key West Army
Barracks, in commenting on the
scrap metal that has been collect
ed in this city, spoke about the
old rails that have been found
along the line of the small-sized
railroad, with a narrow gauge,
that ran between the Martello
Towers and Fort Taylor.
Today, The Citizen reproduces
a sketch of the railway as it ap-
peared almost t,lree-quarterS of a
century ego. Many oldtimerS
still recall the railway and recall
a small bridge over which a part
of it passed between the towers.
Six weeks or so ago an army
officer presented the Key West
Chamber of Commerce with a
six-foot length of rail, which may
now be seen in window at the
chambers office, P The rail is
thickly encrusted3 With1rust3 II

. This sketch, which was made
more than 60 years ago, is the
work of Granville Perkins, an
artist of that day, and was pub
lished in Harper's Weekly for
April ID, 1874, with this descrip-
tive note:

Taylor and Fleet in the Distance.
1t has been impossible to find
anybody who knows anything
about the pond in the foreground

There was a body of inland wa
ter near the First Martello Tow

but it was directly north of. the
tower and included a part of
what is now the Martello Tower
subdivision.
d, The perspective of the picture
is good in many respects, but as
the lighthouse is wrongly locat-

happened to Grassy Pond, which

The lighthouse was destroyed
in October, 1916, when Key West
was struck by the most terrific
and disastrous hurricane in its
history. In those days there was
a cemetery in the Fort Taylor
reservation, near where the base
ball grounds are now, and, so
powerful were the seas that swept
over the cemetery, collins were
torn out of the ground.
The year before construction at
Fort Taylor had been started, but
the foundation and part of the

only as an auxiliary. For several
decades ships were SO construct

ed out of water, which was done,
together with the stopping of en-

In 1874. when the sketch was
made, Key West was already ia
NOUS as a manufacturing center
of clear Havana cigars, but the
artist. or whoever wrote the
brief description of the city TO
go with the drawing, apparently
was not aware of that fact. for
he mentioned as the principal
business the salvaging of wrecks.
which brought into the city
about 100000 annually. But that
was a small amount compared
with the cigar industry of more
than a million dollars every year.
