that the school goes almost"
big time in college football.
The academy would like to
move in the same circles as

service teams. Since its first
class doesn't graduate until
next year, the academy has all
its lettermen of last year back.
Under Buck Shaw. the
sophomore '57 club had a g.

schedule has been toughened
considerably. but new Coach
Ben Martin, a former Navy
star and head coach at Vir-
ginia. has high hopes.

last night with a smoothly
contrived 1915 triumph over
Detroit, another team that
hopes to make the step as a
major power.

possible the title will hinge on

down their necks is Harvey
