Larner, not glancing around and

Hard on Equipment.
Maj. Larner cared nothing for a
plane. Another pilot told what his
mechanic had .to say after Maj.
Larner had flown in his plane.
Captain, the mechanic asked,
what does Maj. Larner think planes
are made of. He thinks these engines
will run at full throttle for hours.
They won't"
Nor did he ever give thought to
the cost Of equipment. He would
come back from mission, I am told,

machine guns.

runway. This was just a way of re-
porting in, of course. They could
not put down at that speed. IN
stead they would rise again, circle
back and come in for a normal land
ing.
That wasn't just for the show of it.
The men weren't used to handling
their planes that way. Bomber pi-
lots are taught to keep away from
things, not to see how close they
can come. He wanted them to have
confidence enough to buzz the deck
Of battleship.
One of his pilots said that things
got so bad at the field that your
tent would be blown away from you
by the planes roaring past.
Maj. Larner was out to lick the
Japs. He worked day and night at
getting the planes equipped with the
new machine guns and practicing
his men in skipping their bombs
against the old wreck in Port Mores-
by Bay.
Here's the kind of fellow he was"
said another of his pilots.

ATHENS, Ga, June 12.- Navy
football, as played by the Athens
Pre-flight School, won't be so tough
next fall
Capt. c. E. Smith, U. S. N, COM
manding officer of the school and
long time football fan, disclosed
that the big-name stars of last No
vember have gone to war. And next
fall, he added, only cadets will par
ticipate in restricted, regional var
sity campaign.
Last season the star-studded sky
cracker eleven swept through it's
schedule with only one defeat, cli-
making its performance with an i'm
pressive 1919 victory over Alabama.
Service team policy at that time
permitted play by officers and men,
bers OF the ships crew, as well as
cadets, and several of these were
outstanding college stars and former
professionals.
or the IL men who started the
final game against Alabama, only
two still are at the station. Wing
back Bob Foxx. former Tennessee
star, in training to become a Navy
flying instructor, and Tailback Billy
Patterson of Baylor, are here.
The coaches, too, are gone. No one
knows who will coach football here
and no one knows what therell be
to coach. No cadet now in school
will be here September /. Nor are
the prospects bright for newcomers.

the desire for plenty of sleep and a
fondness for milk, which he downs
in vast quantities. His other dietary
traits. however, would shock every
athletic coach.
Shuns Greens, Vegetables.
AS farm boy, Haegg's diet was
limited to bread, potatoes, meat and
fish. And that, along with pastry,
is what he eats today. He scorns
all of the greens and vegetables that
most authorities prescribe for run
ners. He does, however, take steam
baths religiously and also submits to
hour-long messages.
Since he never has been his best
on his three previous visits outside
of Sweden-in Hungary, Germany
and Finland last year after he
completed his amazing string of
records in the short space of 10
weeks-Haegg appears uneasy about
his American prospects.
The $500 meters and the mile
distances are his favorites, but he
has indicated he will not attempt
either until late in his tour, which
he will begin next Sunday in the
National AAU championships in
New York 1t is expected that
Haegg will run the 5000 meters
event there, probably against Greg
Rice, his outstanding American
rival

his spot is in midfield, where he was
brilliant.
Hoyert, as ballhawk, feeder and
shotmaker was the best of the close
attack men by good margin, and
Dittmar's defensive play and ball
clearing stood out, especially in the
final victory over Hopkins.
There is speed galore all down
the line in this team and scoring
ability and fnesse that no defensive
array in the Nation could with
stand. 1t is good enough to be the
all-America ten.
Ochenrider Full of Fire.
Ochenrider's success in lacrosse
was due to the fire and determina-
ton that characterizes all his efforts.
He never had played the game be-
fore entering the Naval Academy
but developed into as brilliant a
midfielder as has been seen in these
parts in many years. His Is goals
also set a Macy scoring record.
He also was a fine soccer player,
captaining the 1912 team that beat
Army at West Point, 80, and Just re-
Gently was awarded the Navy Ath-
letic Association binoculars for the
midshipman who is considered to
have personally excelled in athletics.
Hoyert is another who deserves
special credit for his lacrosse excel
