STRONG TEAM
By LOUIS A. DOUGEEB.
When the Philadelphia Marines
come down to meet the Middies at
Annapolis, Washington's football lov
ers are sure to make the hike over
to Maryland's capital city to witness
the skirmish, for good as GilDobie's
eleven may be. It should be kept
mighty busy staving off the attack of
"By" Dickson's charges.
The Marines have Peck, All-American
center from Pittsburgh; the two
Ga'rlow brothers, stars at Carlisle;
Newcomb. last year's tackle and cap
tain of the Bucknell eleven; Hern, a
former captain and tackle at Buck
ne'L now a lieutenant in the marine
corps; Mike Wilson. Muhlenburg's star
end; McLaughlin, Vlllanova's end last
year, and Goldstein. Dickinson's
quarterback and captain two years
ago, considered one of the best run
ning backs in the East.
"Bud" Whitney, who was Dart
mouth's greatest of plunging half
backs. Is In the service, and is being
coaxed to try for the eleven.
Tom Dougherty, from Pennsyl
vania; Cavanaugb, formerly of Penn
Military College: Bradley, a profes
sional player from Chicago: Wells, of
Pennsylvania, and Newman, from
Duquesne University, are candidates
for backfield berths.
Lehigh Wins name.
Lehigh started its season Saturday
with a C-to-0 victory over the Phila
delphia Marines, scoring in the open
ing period and then putting up a
fierce fight to stave off the vicious
attacks of the "devil dogs."
No game, perhaps, fn the history
of football was ever staged under
elmllar circumstances. Owing to the
strict quarantine being observed at
Lehigh, Lieutenant McNamara had to
obtain passes from the military com
mandant before he could bring his
players inside the college limits.
Not an outsider was permitted to
'witness the game, owing to this
same quarantine. About 300 students,
members of the Lehigh S A. T. C,
were on the sidelines. They pro
vided all the enthuisasm possible,
but it was not as in the olden days.
Pfetffer In -LI De-op.
Pfelffer, a former Washington In
terscholastic star, played right end
for Lehigh throughout the game, and
did well. The Marines backs at
tempted to circle bis position early
in the game, but after being tossed
for losses several times, gave it up
as a bad Job.
The Washington lad Jook a promi
nent part in the onward dash of the
Brown and White for their lone
touchdown, taking a forward pass
from Wysocki and gaining fifteen
yards to the Marines' 25-yard line.
Great Lakes Naval Training Station
defeated its seclnd Western varsity
eleven Saturday, humbling Illinois,
7 to 0. It was a bard-fought con
test, according to all reports. Ef
forts are being made to arrange a
1 came between Great Lakes and the
Middies at Annapolis. Such a contest
should attract thousands.

GREAT LAKES.. IIL, Oct. 14 U C.
Stein, a hospital apprentice, second'
class, was reported dead as a remit
of the influenza epidemic at Great I
Lakes naval training station and the

Tttaerday Lieut. Com. John B.
Kaufman, naval medical corps, nth
letic director, was startled to have
Stein walk into his office.
"I want my clothes." he raid to
the startled officer. "They are over

them to me "
He got his clothes and Is being
shipped to his home in Bay City.

The good fight is on. It should
embers for the winter leaguers everywhere. It's all occasioned by "if,'
well known in sporting circles, especially the morning after. Indeed,
that's how it comes in now. "If the war hadn't taken Alexander and Pete
Kifduff from the Cubs, the Red pox would 'a? been- lucky to 'a' won two
games." This remark by a National League rooter started the whole
darn thing.
Otto iinabe, 'whose passage-at-arms.

featured one of the games at Chi

from the National Commission, blames
the ending of ths world' serlci-upon

he admits that with Alexander ami

Red Sox might have lost out In the
series. Otto is wise enough to con

would have had Barry, Gardner,

by the war. I.conard hopped to a ship

after pitching nne ball for the Red
Sox early In the season. Shore, Lewis,

Knabe, "Sam Jones would never have

But ou see what he did for the Red

"Only for the war. Dave Shean would
never have landed on the Boston club.
