S. navy likes to keep every thing "above board" except Jap anese craft. Hence its forthright campaign to convince the Amer ican public the Annapolis naval academy footbal ltcam this fall will not be composed of super men and probably will not win the mythical national champion ship. This sales campaign certainly is thc most concentrated and, b the same time, the most unusual in the 100-year history of the Annapolis academy. One might get the impression the academy representatives are trying to sell the public a bill of mediocrity; but such is not the case. They are merely going all out to em phasize the 1!M5 navy team may not be a "ehampeen." although it will win its fair share of games. Lost Three Navy learned to its sorrow last year that there's a big difference between a "good" football team and a "championship! 'outfit. Long before the 1044 season open ed, the football experts were awarding navy the national title because of the middies' apparent ly incomparable manpower. Un fortunately many members of the team believed the press clippings and shared the unbounded con- rideneeuf the public. So they" went out and lost their first game to North Carolina Pro flight. They also lost to Georgia Tech. And army particularly army. As a result, there was much moaning at the bar wherever navy men gathered throughout the world. Accordingly, we find at this early date as far as football is concerned navy is sending ils emissaries to Manhattan to preach the gospel of possible defeat. And ils best grid authorities are sent to tell the story. We mean Cmdr. Oscar (Swede) Hagbcrg, head coach; Cmdr. "Hip" Miller, line coach; and Lt. Bill Sullivan, pub lic relations officer. According to the.-e three, there are several reasons why navy this fall will have the nation's big gest question-murk team. As Coach Ilagberg stresses, a navy, for the first lime in history, has shifted from the traditional single wing to the "T" formation. And it may lake the institution some time to accustom itself to the "T," recalling that both army and Notre Dame had difficulties in their first season's with the "T." Also Hagbcrg and his assistants believe that the current crop of navy hacks with their accent on speed and lack of blocking abil ity were designed more for the fast, balanced "T" plays than for the slower power plays of the single wing. Their backs have plenty of speed Capt. Dick dud en, Bobby Jenkins, Billy Barrow, Ralph Ellsworth, Bill Ambro milies, Bob Kelly of Notre Dame and Bob Iloernsehmeyer of In diana. Night Games Seem To Get Leaders In Home Parks Horace J. Nelson l-ll'IO - KIRK - AUTO Quality Insurance Service Tel. 351-W 703 K Ave. La Grande, Ore. By CARL LUNDQUIST NEW YORK, July 20 (UP) The fans have the final say-so, ef course, but as far as the play ers were concerned there was a preliminary indictment against night baseball today, at least in Washington and St. Louis. While easting about for explan ations on the flop of thc Senators at home after burning up the road on their western road trip, it would be less than logical to overlook that in general they switched from afternoon to noc 1 1 1 j nal play. Lost Six On the road they won 13 out of 1!) games and played only five of them at night. Back home which should be thc fortress of the pen nant contender, they were able to win only six out of 13 games, i nd played all but three at night. Moreover, they won two of the three day games and lost all but four of the 10 night tilts. Al the same lime in St. Louis, the not so robust Red Birds were supposed to be making their "an nual" pennant bid. On a strict diet of night games except for Sundays, they managed to win only eight and lost seven. Il also is worth pointing out in their two Sunday doubteheaders, they lust I both games. That isn't paradnx- ical, it just gets to be a little I strange for a player to emerge into the heat and sunshine after V -. N Nelson to Face Toughest Stars In Triple Meet Include Snead, Hyrd, Demaret, Revolta By WALTER BYERS CHICAGD, July 26 (UP By ron Nelson, facing the toughest field he has met in three years, sits out to prove he is golf's "greatest player" today when he tees off in the rich all-American open, the feature attraction -of George S. May's triple header gulfing classic. Nelson, although he must meet a field of prewar quality, is the defending champion in the men's open, which he has won three times. A great competitor, a pre cision shot maker and currently the hottest golfer in America, Kelson shoots his greatest game when the stakes are high and this one pays a record of $13,000 in war bonds to the winner. The tall, ruddy-faced Texan with the nerves of ice has won eight straight individual tourna ments, climaxing his record streak two weeks ago by taking the coveted P. G. A. title. It was then that he was acciaimed the greatest of all time, but now he must prove it against two men who were not in the PGA Lt. Hen Hogan, thc little Texas sharpshooter, and Slammin' Sam my Snead, power swinging West Virginian. This is really a "comeback" tournament for Nelson. He is re turning to the fairways after a week of resting an injured back. Sneud has been on the sidelines foi a month, ever since fractur ing a wrist bone. And Hogan is playing his first major tourna ment of the season. Counting Snead and Hogan, Nelson faces a field of 139, in cluding the greatest collection of golf stars since 1!M2. Shooting against him will be Jimmy De maret, Sgl. Ernest J. (Dutch) Harrison, Harold (Jug) McSpad cn, the game's No. 2 money win ner behind Nelson; Sammy Byrd, PGA runner-up; Johnny Revolta in short all of golf's great mod erns with thc exception of one or two, such as Lawson Little. More Attendance At liascball This Year CHICAGO, July 26 (UP! American League President Will Harridge said today 370,705 more fans paid admission to games this year through July 22 than was recorded by league attendance figures for a corresponding num ber ol games last ::son. Harridge said the increase pre vailed despite unusually adverse weather conditions which gener ally held down home attendance, particularly in New York, Chi cago, Boston and Philadelphia. !

Far Behind Moreover, the Cardinals also fared well on their last eastern trip when they won 16 games and lost only nine, playing a fair ly steady ration of afternoon games. That moved them to a contending spot in the race, just a game and a half out of the lead, but during their home stay they weren't able to do anything but go backwards, and they now arc fuur and half games off the pace. The evidence isn't conclusive. There is much to indicate the standard of night games is as high as the daytime variety, but teams subjected to an every night ration of it are likely to get tired of the "upside down" living it requires. That it event ually reflects in their play is definitely indicated. I Prices Come Down! (iretil Reductions on SUMNER DRESSES Three Price Groups $3 - $4 - $6 A cluan sweep of our summer dresses.
