  Navy F ootbalI Team, Strongest in Many Years, Points to Army Game midshipmen, With Victory Over Columbia Lions, Loom Dangerous This Year New York, Oct. 23.-(R1-Barnacle Bill may not know the difference between . triple lateral and . spinner buck but he opines It looks like q good year for the Navy and he’s probably right. Not since 1926 has Annapolis sent Z team to the football wars that car. ried SO many effective looking weapons as those which struck down the Rose Bowl Lions Of Columbia last Saturday. It’s bit too early to leap to def mite conclusions Many 4 tumble or intercepted pass will upset calculalions between now and Dec. /, when the service academies put on their show at Franklin Field. Berries, Real Threat Take 1t from Lou Little, who had . closeup view from the sidelines Is Berries, Clark, Burns and company bewildered his robust Columbians, the 1894 Navy eleven has every essential to greatness. It has q rare passing specialist in Buzz Berries, who also knows his way through broken field. Nays proves and staying powers will b thoroughly tested before the Army game. The Middies tackle Pennylsvania, Washington q I’d Lee, Notre Dame ard Pittsburgh on the next four Saturdays before taking two full weeks to prepare for West Point. You must consider that Navy hasn’t beaten Army since 1921 in or der to realize how earnestly the whole Annapolis campaign is pointed toward the service game. There have been some close contests since then but the famous 2l-2l tie Of 1926 ut Chicago marked the last time the Midshipmen had . real chance to win. Check Unbeaten Sweep On that occasion It took all the experienced resources Of Lighthouse Harry Wilson and Red eagle to check the previously unbeaten sweep Of Z Navy team starring such stalwarts as Hamilton, Wickhorst, Eddy, Gross and Hardwick. Meanwhile Army is due for its first major test this Saturday against Yale. Yale hasn’t beaten West Point since Able Booth ran wild In 1879, scoring three touchdowns with electrifying dashes. The outcome, ct least, will give . comparative October line on Army and Navy.
