ANNAPOLIS. Md, Jan. s.
Comdr. John Whelchel found him
self sitting squarely on the hot seat
today with the announcement Of
Navy's 1912 football schedule and
word from the front office that the
Midshipmen will carry on in sports
on all fronts with program subject
to any necessary changes because
Of war conditions.
Comdr. L. S. Perry. graduate

new coach, who succeeds Maj. En-
ory E. (Swede) Larson. one Of the
toughest football assignments at
tempted by Navy team. The
schedule includes nine games, cul-
minating in the annual service
classic with Army at Philadelphia
November % and including games
with such traditional opponents as
Notre Dame, Penn and Princeton
Whelchel finds himself in the
unique and uncomfortable position
of putting a team on the field with
material drawn from only two
classes. Larson had the benefit of
the last group of three-year varsity
men last autumn and utilized his
man power to the fullest extent by
playing alternate elevens But
Whelchel will have no such setup
and his task is fully as difficult as
his predecessors.
Four new names appear on the
Sailors list. Virginia, Yale. Georgia
Tech and Columbia, replacing West
Virginia, Lafayette. Cornell and
Harvard. The game with Yale will
be the only one played at Baltimore.

the last war.
At that time the need for great
amounts of food caused the tilling
of lands without consideration of
the effect which must follow-a
ravaged earth that caused an eX-
odus of workers of the land and
upset the economic balance of half
the country.
Damage Still Evident. \
The demand for great quantities
of timber, and the consequent in
discriminate cutting, had for an
aftermath destructive floods.
Other abusive uses contributed to
the damage to our resources still
evident after nearly Is years.
Through the United States Fish
and Wildlife Service we gradually
have gained a better knowledge of
the conservation. We have watched
them, with other Federal agencies,
beat the dust bowl, restock our
streams and reflood many ill-ad-
vised drainage projects, which had
much to do with the depletion of
wild waterfowl.
The personnel of the Wildlife
Service are mostly specialists, skilled
technicians, gathered one by one.
The removal Of this department
to Chicago, ordered for this month,
would be accomplished only with
irreparable damage.

ing. These improvements were
held up. In their place have come
some changes in the seventh hole,
eliminating part of that pesky ditch
which caught so many shots, and
now more changes are being made.
These involve the second and
thirteenth greens, and will be nm
ished in plenty Of time for the
opening Of the spring season. The
second hole long has been one OF
the easier par-5 affairs around
Washington, but the green has been
tricky. 1t is being raised and re-
bunkered. The green at the thlr-
teenth also is being rebuilt. This
is a dog-leg hole around a right
hand corner, where the big hitter
could cut of a lot of distance with
a well-played tee shot. This one
also is being rebunkered.
Could Be Championship Course.
Burning Tree happens to be golf
course which could, with a few
changes, be the scene OF a major
championship. 1t would be an ideal
course either for the amateur or
open championship. the only draw
back being that it has no mass
transportation line running near the
club. DR.. Walter S. Harlan, former
greens chairman at Burning Tree,
always thought the course was too
easy for a major tournament. Per-
haps he was right when he said the
course would be too soft for the top
linksmen of today, but lot OF peo-
pie don't see it exactly that way.
As 1t stands it is tough enough.
At present the -that-be at
Burning Tree have no championship
aspirations. The club happens to be
the chief golf playground OF big
sector of Washington ofhclaldom.
But perhaps the folks at Burning
Tree have long term ideas about a
major championship for the club
some day. Championships have
been played on many courses not
half as good or half as tough.
Fred Mcleod, the Columbia Scots
man, has made up his mind not to
go to Fort Myers, Fla, for another
whirl at the Professional Golfers
Association senior championship II
days hence. And FTeddie's decision
is not because the committee in
charge has announced that all prizes
will be given in Defense Bonds.
Where will I get the cash?" asks

Tom Mccormack, crack Washing
ton Eagles center who was feared to
have suffered a cracked noggin in
a collision last night at Riverside
Stadium, probably will return to
duty with the local entry in the
Eastern Hockey League in few
days.
Mccormack, at first believed to be
lost for the season with fractured
skull, suffered no worse than a con-
cussion in a spectacular spill with
the New York Rovers' Alex Sanda-
lack. He may be released from
Emergency Hospital today, although
it is possible he'll be ordered to re-
main there another day or two.
Mccormack Is Tossed into Air.
1t was Sandalack who inflicted on
Mccormack the seasons most brutal
body check. Skating into the Rov-
ers defensive zone, Mccormack
suddenly was somersaulted feet
into the air as Sandalack sub
marined and clipped him at the
knees. Mccormack descended on
his head and was carried from the
rink on a stretcher.
In addition to the temporary loss
of Mccormack the Eagles were dealt
a permanent defeat by the Rovers,
80. The Eagles thus remain locked
with the Baltimore Orioles in fourth
place, while the Rovers moved
within a point of the leading Johns
town Bluebirds.
The Mccormack injury seemed to
take the starch out of the local
club. Leading 2-1 when the acci-
dent occurred early in the third
period, the Eagles permitted the
Rovers to produce two goals in five
minutes.
Kirkpatrick's Goal Tells.
After a scoreless opening period,
Art Kendall sent the Rovers ahead
early in the second session, but lean
Kenny Ullyot tied the score for
Washington three minutes later.
Little Freddy Weaver gave Wash
ington its only lead of the evening
midway in the period, but Hubert
Macy and Bob Kirkpatrick located
the net for New York in the third
period.
A crowd Of 2,777 witnessed the
fast, but bruising battle in which

THE MARINES HAVE LANDED

A phrase which has been famil-
lar to Americans for many genera
tions, The Marines have landed
and have the situation we'll in
hand" is generally believed to
have been first used by a Marine
Corps officer at an early date of
American history. However, there
is no authentic information cred
iting an early Leatherneck as au-
thor of the report
Like the Marine Corps motto,
"Semper Fidelis." the date and
place of origin has not been Off
cially established.
One source indicates that "Ma-
rines have landed and have the
situation we'll in hand" was coined
by a war correspondent and that
it later reappeared at numerous
intervals. Another belief is that
the phrase originated in 1885
while Marines were staging a land
ing but there seems to be no Off
cial data on which to verify the
story.
The late Richard Harding Davis
has been frequently credited as
author of the famous Marine
Corps phrase but the Marine Corps
itself has made no official state
ment mentioning when and where
The Hagerstown globe., 1942-11-20

the original report was made.
The first motto used by the U.
S. Marine Corps was Don't Tread
on Me-" popular motto of the
American Colonies.
Whether the Marines used a
motto between the years 1898 and
1913 is not known today, but in
1914. Col. Franklin Wharton, Com
mandant of the Marine Corps, di-
rected that the motto Omitted
States Marine" be used.
Marine Corps Commandant ia
cob Zeilin reported in 1876 that
the motto by Sea and Land. -
similar to the per Mare, Per Ter
ram" used by Britain's Royal Ma
rines, was to be adopted. That
motto, however, was not too popu-
lar with Marines and "Semper
F'idelis" appeared few years
later.
Ever Faithful" is known to have
been applied to U. S. Marines prior
to 1868. In that year Commodore
John Pope of the U. S. Navy, in
letter to Marine Corps Com
mandant John Harris, stated that
American Marines were so highly
valued by officers of the Navy that
"the Eyer-Faithful Marine" had
passed into a proverb.
