Special Dispatch to The Star.
ANNAPOLIS, Nd, Sept. 28.-Navy
will field veteran eleven against
North Carolina Preflight tomorrow
when the Middies ring up the cur
tain on their SD football season at
Annapolis, but who will pace the
attack against the invading aviators
is conjectural.
Comdr. Oscar Hagberg, Navy
coach, indicated he would count
heavily on the passing experience
of Hal Hamberg, star of last years
eleven, but the practice play of Bob
Jenkins this week pointed to him
as the sparkplug of the attack.
Jenkins has been burning up the lot.
The only announced change in
Hagbert's plans has been the sub
stitution of Al Walton for Vic Finos
to handle conversions after touch
downs.
All of the Middies who started in
the $40 victory over the Pre-
Fighters are on hand.
The Carolina squad also boasts a
wealth of experienced material,
headed by All-America Quarterback
Otto Graham, former Northwestern
triple-threater. Kermit Atkinson, a
guard, and Mel Sheehan, an end,
starred in the teams 27-14 victory
