  Sea Soldiers Building Up Football Teams With College Men. PRINCETON VS.. NAVY Tigers, Acquisitive, Prob ably Profited by Notre Dame Defeat. Copyright. by The San Antonio Light. New York. Oct. 26.-Apropos of the game between the University of Mich igan and the Quantico Marines two weeks hence, it is interesting to note that the sea soldiers are very ambiti- Gus. Within year or two, IT reports of recruiting of athletes which the writer heard in the West are true, the Marines probably will be ranking in football with the two national service institutions. According to a high Western Conference Official. graduates who have shone as football players in their I’M dergraduate days are likely to have as little trouble securing commissions in the Marine Corps as graduate col lege football stars have in getting appOintments to West Point. This does not mean that the Marines will take any athlete. He must have degree from college or university. and. OF course, must satisfy the authorities as TO character and the like. Even so. since the Marines are a desirable corps with definite traditon and high standards of service, the chances are that Annapolis and West Point are shortly to encounter a most | formidable service rival. Princeton’s game against the Navy on Saturday will show whether or not the Tigers have profited by the experience of the Notre Dame game Certainly both players and coaches must have learned something that will accrue to their advantage. As resuit of the 25-to-0 beating administcred TO Nassau by West Virginia in 1919. the Princeton system acquired things that were almost directly responsible for the productive three years that followed. The Tigers are an acqusitive bunch and history may repeat itself. From what the writer had heard from Princeton. Saturdays defeat was taken in the proper spirit. The. game was arranged chiefly because the coaches wanted their men TO have the experience of playing against knute Rocknes wonderful outfit, and all the chances are that the South Bend eleven will appear in Tigertown again next year. Everyone out West who has seen John Levi of the Haskell Indians in action, say he is the greatest back IN every respect they have ever seen. When under way in the open field he is practically unstoppable and IN throwing the ball. punting or crash ing the line he is hailed as in class bv himself. At the close of the hard Minnesota Haskell game, Levi modest. ly remarked that he thought he would have done better if he had really got warmed up. Nilstead. the Yale tackle, who hailed originally from Wabash. came TO Yale via Syracuse. When he turned up at the salt city institution from the west he said he wanted nothing but the most difficult courses, that he was there TO study. The trouble was, ac’ cording TO Chick Meehan. that he began TO tell the professors just where they erred in their manner of teach ing. One readily can imagine what happened to this young blond giant at examination time. One afternoon Milstead came out on the Syracuse field-this was two years ago-and told Coach Meehan he would | like TO get little practice on the scrubs. Meehan let him go in and then had the pleasure of watching him tear holes in the varsity lire and lead In reference that resulted in three toucn’ downs. Then Meehan gave the varsity the ball and told the backs to tear into Milstead. He threw them back for half an hour. but eventually sue cumbed to the pounding. g., THE greatest tackle l ever saw, saws Meehan.
