More Goods lor More People at Less Cost

H

A D the l}/2 million people who bought new radio sets in 1937 been obliged to pay 1929 prices for them, the total cost to the public would have been $700,000,000 greater than it actually was. In fact, the 7 ^ million sets of 1937 cost the public $188,000,000 less than the 43^ million sets of 1929. And because radios cost less, more people could buy them, and the purchasers had more money to buy additional comforts and conveniences.

This is but one of many cases where industry has found ways to make better products at less cost. For insrance, the 13^2 million electric washers bought in 1937 cost the purchasers 2 million dollars less than the million bought in 1929. The 1,200,000 electric fans bought in 1937

cost the purchasers $700,000 less than about half that number bought in 1929. And in this same period hundreds of other manufactured products, because of improved manufacturing methods, have been reduced in cost so that more people can have more of the good things of life.

This process of creating real wealth has brought to America the highest standard of living ever known, and it is this process which must continue if even higher standards are to be attained.

General Electric scienrists, engineers, and workmen are conrributing to this progress. By developing new and better ways to use electricity for the benefit of the public, they are constantly providing More Goods for More People at Less Cost.

G-E research and engineering have saved the public jrom ten to one hundred for every dollar they have earned jor General Electric

Sportsmanship There's a tang in the air and the leaves are beginning to turn. Instinctively we reach for that blanket at the foot of the bed in the middle of the night after thinking we'd never, never need one again.

By cracky, it's snappy! Regular football weather.

Hello, there's the kid across the street kicking one around already. Here you go, Bud, throw it to me.

Watch the old man boot it! Oooh, my back! Used to get more distance than that. You think it's pretty good? Guess you never heard of Northcroft, Bud, he kicked 'em so high and far the Army had to use mules to contact 'em. Yes, they did. That's how they got started playing polo up there.

Ah, a letter from Crabtown in the morning mail.

Why, it's the annual two buck dun from the N . A. A. with a nice bright schedule enclosed to spur us on. Hmm! It doesn't look any easier for our side.

Same old gang. There's Princeton ('bout time we laid into them again). And Columbia. Yale, too (seems to me we're past due here). There's Notre Dame; and Penn. And who's that last one? Oh, yes, Army. Pretty soft for us.

Well, if it isn't our old friend and classmate, Joe Gish, of all people. And he's got Lee Scuppers with him. Just listen to those boys lay it on.

"Oh, they'll be rotten, all right. Ain't we always? How many times have you seen 'em beat the Army, Lee? Ha! Ha! Ha! I thought so. You can have my tickets (till a few days before the game anyhow)."

"Look what they did last year, Joe. Sure I know.

Didn't you and me follow 'em around everywhere they played? You win! I'll never do it again, neither."

Now wait a minute, boys. We've taken our share from our friends up the Hudson since normal relations were re-established. A little more than our share, all sports considered. And didn't we win the football games in '34 and '36? W h a t more do you want for a starter? Oh, you wanna win 'em all!

Well, that's encouraging. Maybe the team would enjoy a little co-operative spirit like that. Especially when the going's tough. Anyway it's a fresh point of view. And the crew won the Poughkeepsie, didn't it? And you said, Joe, against that West Coast bunch we didn't have a chance. Go on, you did, too. And you, Lee, remember how you used to grouse and gripe about the Lacrosse team? How wonderful they were when you were in school!

Didn't lose a game in the whole nine years you were a midshipman. And now look at 'em. Well, go ahead and look, Lee, look what they did this spring.

They're intercollegiate champions again. And how did they clinch it? Oh, just by taking the Army, that's all.

Well, boys, that's two major intercollegiate championships in one year. Here's to crew and lacrosse. Things seem to be picking up. Whaddaya say we change our tune? Let's get behind this new '38 fall outfit and giye 'em a lift. Let 'em know we think they're okey-doke. And if they get bumped around let's give 'em another lift, and keep on lifting till that last game. Then let's go out to the stadium in Philly, wipe off the grouch, if there is one, and lift some more. REALLY LIFT! These kids can give it, and take it, too. They aren't any different than we were (hear, hear!). Unless it's better. They like to win, all right, don't mind it any more than we used to. And supposing they do lose a few. We only learn from defeat. That's what makes victory sweeter later on. All ready.

Navy? Run up the mains'l and break out the stu'n's'ls. Get those lubbers in off the jib boom.

There's a following breeze and it's getting stronger.

Let's go! The chronic kickers are all in line again, they've counted off correctly and they're back in step. Why, whaddaya know, they're actually smiling. And enthusiastic! Guess we must be getting good. Guess there's nothing left to do but win one.

Admiral Uriu, I. J. N.

In the August issue of the Bureau of Navigation Bulletin, an article concerning the late Admiral Uriu, '81, was nored, and is being reprinted: "There is being sent to all ships and stations with libraries a copy of the biography of the late Admiral Baron Uriu, I. J. N., which has been presented to the Navy by his son, Mr. Tsuyoshi Uriu, and grandnephew, Mr. Takashi Masuda. The following is quoted from a letter received by rhe Naval Artache: " "We the undersigned wish to donate the accompanying biography, "Recollections of Admiral Baron Sotokichi Uriu,"

by Karsunoba Masuda, a grandnephew of rhe late Admiral, and which has been compiled with your kind assistance, to the following gentlemen and libraries. " 'We shall be greatly pleased if the biography of our beloved serves even a rrifle as a reminiscent of the friendly associations of the two nations in the past and to the promotion of the traditional bonds of amity in the future, for it was to that end the late Admiral devoted his entire life besides serving our country in rhe Navy.

The TENNESSEE scored a theoretical "plus-perfect" score that practice with her 14-inch turrets. The previous record was held by the W E S T VIRGINIA.

Weems System of Navigation It may surprise some of our readers to know that a thriving navigation business has been built up in Annapolis by P. V. H. Weems, '12, and a group of retired officers. These officers have built up a unique business in that it is perhaps the only organization of its kind in the world. It has a competent staff of experts devoting their full time to the development and teaching of the latest sea and air navigarion. This firm ar present is publishing a new edition of the Star Altitude Curves for the U. S. Air Corps wirh a claimed accuracy greater than that obtained by the average Navigator after compuring and laying down a line of position.

"P. V. H.", founded the business and associated with him are: L. H. McDonald, '15; J. M. Greer, '19; R- G. Willis, '17; Col. Alexis Illyne, who held No. 28 license under Larhan of France and who served with the Russian Imperial Army for 12 years as an aviator; C. G. Halpine, '16, who had 14 and a half years as a Naval Aviator, recenrly joined the firm.

The Company publishes textbooks on sea and air navigarion, naurical tables, charts, notebooks, and have manufactured sextants, plotters, computers, drift indicators, ground speed meters, watches and other articles needed in sea and air navigarion and are selling their products through agencies all over the world.

To P. V. H. and his Associates, Congratulations and Best Wishes!

Deep Sea Diving Record The Navy has again broken the Deep Sea Diving Record. Lt. Comdr. C. B. ("Swede") Momsen, '20, who is the Navy's foremost authority on deep sea diving and is in charge of Experimental Diving, recendy reported to the Navy Department the results obtained of a study in the use of a mixture of Helium and Oxygen in lieu of air. A depth of 500 feet was attained in the tank experiments and in actual practice a depth of slighdy better rhan 400 feet was reached. The descents were made from the FALCON off Portsmouth, N. H. The previous record, 306 feet, was made by the NAVY off Honolulu while salvaging the F-4, which was lost on February 25, 1915.

Museum The new Museum is well on its way to realiry. The contract was awarded early in the summer and actual construction began shordy after JUNE WEEK. New service Hnes have been run and the basement is about completed. It is expected that the building will be dedicated next JUNE WEEK.

Medal of Honor On July 26, 1938, the Secretary of the Navy, in the name of Congress, awarded the Medal of Honor to the late Lieutenant Carlton B. Hutchins, '34, who was killed on February 2, 1938. The following citation was made: "For extraordinary heroism as the pHot of the U. S. Navy Seaplane PBY-2 number 0463 ( l l - P - 4 ) on the occasion of a collision with a U. S. Navy Seaplane PBY-2 number 0462 ( l l - P - 3 ) while engaged in taaical exercises with the United States Fleet on February 2, 1938.

Although his plane was badly damaged.

Lieutenant Hutchins remained at the controls endeavoring to bring the damaged plane to a safe landing and to afford an opportunity for his crew to escape by parachutes. His cool calculated conduct contributed principally to the saving of the lives of all who survived. His conduct on this occasion was above and beyond the call of duty."

The Navy

and the Press

by Comdr. Leland P. Lovette, U. S. Navy With a large area of the world in arms, a decided increase in world armaments, the Panay incident, and the bill for a twenty per cent increase in the Navy, there is observed a quickened public interest in the Navy without parallel since the Washington Arms Conference in 1921-22. This public interest is measured by the requests made on the Navy for general information, material for feature stories, and photography of naval subjects. A survey of daily editorial opinion also indicates increased discussion of naval policy. In rhis play of Navy news, some of it is very accurately reported; some of it is slightly twisted in the writing; and some of it is wide of the mark.

It must be remembered rhat events, interpretations, summaries, rrends, and editorial opinion shape, and to a great measure, give expression to what is known as public opinion. Radio, the press, and a free press in particular, wirh its sources and its influence determine in the main whether or not an electorate is enlightened and a public opinion is well informed.

At the recent annual meeting of the American Society of Newspaper Editors one was particularly impressed with a large map titled "The Black Plague of the Twentieth Century." The world was depiaed on a large back-drop furnished by the Columbia School of Journalism.

Countries with a press Government controlled and censored were colored black; those countries with a partial censorship were lightly hatched; and those with a free press were shown in white. A large portion of Europe and Asia is black; the North American continent is white, and South America slightly mottled.

Much discussion at this convention revolved around rhe topic of how the press may keep unbiased and objective. Dr. Conant, President of Harvard, stressed in a scholarly talk the necessity for well informed and broadly cultured journalists with a historic perspective.

The guarantee of free speech is derived from the Constitution of the United States. The first article in the Bill of Rights, enforced December 15, 1791, states: "Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, or

abridging the freedom of speech or of the press .. ."

This means as Justice Holmes said: "Tolerance for the thought we hate."

That free speech is a fundamental tenet of democracy can not be denied.

That it is at times abused in a democracy is well known. On the other hand, it is generally accepted by students of government that a dictatorship is short-lived when a free press has fuU play. And certainly the problems of a free press are as much discussed today as when argued by the enlightened men of the seventeenth century and before. All great liberal rhinkers agree that man's mind can never become shackled where a free press exists.

It is contended by defenders of a democraric system of goverrmient that the people who pay the taxes and support it have a right to know something of the accomplishments, the policies, and the problems of rhe institutions of their state.

In order to gain this knowledge, to clear the way for frank discussion of natural problems, and criticism of the government in power, our fathers wrote free speech into the Bill of Rights.

But the press gravely errs and becomes its own worst enemy when news is purposely twisted or biased. This was put very neatly over twenty years ago when Walter Lippman wrote: "When those who control them (the news columns) arrogate to themselves the right to determine by their own conscience what shall be reported and for what purpose, democracy is unworkable.

Public opinion is blockaded. For when a people can no longer confidently repair 'to the best fountains' for their information then anyone's rumor, each man's hope and each man's whim become the basis of government. All that the sharpest critics of democracy have alleged is rrue, for there is no steady supply of trustworrhy and relevant news."

It is to the credir of the Navy that for a number of years there has been a flow to the public of "trustworthy and relevant news." In a military-naval organization there is much material that would be interesting news but matter that is obviously of a confidential nature.

And although there are some correspondents who unwisely insist that some of this information should be released, the

Navy Department must make a careful check of what can be released, in the public and national interest. The Navy also jealously guards information that would be of no great interest to the public but could very well assist foreign powers. This duty of the Navy Department is, of course, more imporrant to the public than what is called "the editorial prerogatives" of the newspapers.

For, after all, a newspaper is a private enterprise and primarily in the business to achieve a material success. It holds no franchise from the public. The Navy is responsible to the Commander-in-Chief of the Army and the Navy and to the people of the United States.

There are few in the Navy who have had occasion to give any serious thought to the technique of news gathering and distribution, yet in general the Navy has always displayed a marked friendliness toward the press. Part of this is due to the personal qualities of the correspondents of the leading associations and papers; and part is due to the American belief that a free press is essential in a democracy. Last, but not least, the Navy has a human character that is displayed in all organizations and that is of appreciating any favorable publicity that may be accorded to a service that considers itself efficient, hard working, and ready to do its job. With but few exceptions the cooperation of the Navy and the press has left little to be desired in an era when most large organizations utilize high pressure publicity, public relations counsels, and ingenuous advertising by the radio and the press.

The Navy believes that a long range policy with the press is the best policy.

It is for that reason that no mailing lists are mainrained by the Navy Department.

Voluntary speakers attend functions and mass gatherings only on specific request and even then the traveling expenses must be defrayed by the organization requesting the speaker. The Department stands ready to aid any writer in advising as to source of material for his story, and will always supply factual matter on request. This cooperation and impartial distribution of news is given by few Admiralries. The success of the system from the point of view of the press lies in the general satisfaction of the correspondents.

The "Fourth Estate" comprise a representative cross section of the solid citizenry of the United States. On the whole editors and correspondents are well educated Americans who think of American problems. Those who cover official Washington attempt to rationalize, in4

terpret, and report the national scene in the setting of a democracy. In such a highly competitive profession "scoops" are always desired, but it is to the credit of the average correspondent that he is a patriotic American first and will take pains to keep out of print "copy" inimicable to the national interest.

The Navy reads many strange and fanciful stories about itself, far-fetched yarns of sabotage activities, mysterious vessels lurking off shore, and now and then a rumored building program that exceeds all recommendations made. Some readers thrive on such imaginative brain throbs and care little for the sources.

Such stories are not written by the reliable, accurare correspondent who checks his facts. When such stories are traced to a source, it is found usually that they are built up from a part of a story, a stray bit of gossip, or a half truth. In short, there are journals who prefer a half loaf to none.

For example, last year rhere was a fronr page Navy story stating that the Navy would build fifteen dreadnaughts. On careful reading it was disclosed that the writer had computed the replacement program for 10 or 12 years and "splashed" the front page with headlines of a startling nature. This story is comparable to writing that Senator "X" will purchase fifteen automobiles, and then in the last line imply that they would probably be purchased in the next 15 or 20 years.

The conduct of press liaison is covered in general instrucrions issued by the Department. The details of this work require experience and a general knowledge of the workings of the press. When a story can be told it is usually better to tell all rather than a part. For usually when part of a story is concealed for some reason or another the correspondent guesses the details and the guesses are usually wrong. If the story is of sufficient import to interesr high execurive and legislative officials then a cerrain amount of pressure forces the divulging of the details. The reliable press have a guiding principle—a search for the truth.

Mr. A. H. Kircheofer, Dean of the School of Journalism of Norrhwestern University, told a group of editors recently that, "The way to bring forrh truth is to challenge a dispute of fallacious doctrines with reason."

Those who study and analyze the American press are inclined to believe that correspondents and editors reflect to a great degree the demands of their reading public. It follows that when the {Continued on page 13)

THE DOPE Commander E. M. Stedman, '64, our oldest living graduate, has apparently enjoyed much better health this summer than he has for some time. He has written several long letters to the Secretary in which he expressed his appreciation to the officers and trustees of the Association for their interest in him. He also wishes to extend his greetings to the Members and extends an invitation for any of them who happen to be in the vicinity of Norwood (Va.) to drop in to see him. He lives with his daughter and his great grandchildren and would appreciate visits.

• William H. Wolfersberger, '80, writes in from Denver and says, ". . . although fired for the safety of the Service in the first bunch that failed to pass inspection in color tests, have never failed to be thankful for rhe training and associations of the U. S. N . A. W e still cherish the hope of returning in '40! . . . " And we all look forward to your return to the old school, especially for your sixtieth anniversary!

General Archibald Campbell, '86, asks to be remembered ro his classmares and many friends. The General graduated from West Point, after resigning from the Academy. He is now retired and lives in New York City.

• Mr. L. Y. Spear's, '90, recent offer to the Navy Department to provide an annual prize for the outstanding student officer of the Submarine School at New London has been accepted. It is understood that the prize will probably be a suitably engraved wrist watch.

• Bryson Bruce, '07, is now on duty with the Board of Inspection and Survey in Washington, having been relieved of duty as head of the Department of Marine Engineering at the Academy. T. J. Keleher, '08, reported as his relief.

E. P. Ordway, '09, writes in from Battle Creek, Mich., where he is vice president of the Union Steel Pump Company.

"E. P." asks to be remembered to his classmates and friends.

H. A. "Par" Flanigan, '10, has recenrly been elected vice president of the New York World Fair, Inc. There are a number OCTOBER,

1938

of Naval Academy men holding down important jobs in this corporation and the show will undoubtedly be a great.success. The Fleet will visit the Fair in the Spring, during the east coast Fleet exercises. They will then return to the west coast and take in the San Francisco World's Fair. SHIPMATE will keep the readers informed concerning these two great Fairs.

• We hear that C. G. McCord, '11, is in Grand Coulee, Wash., where he is test engineer for the contractors who are erecting the stupendous dam there. The Columbia River is being dammed there in order to provide for irrigating some 1,200,000 acres of central Washington land and to furnish an immense amounr of hydro-electric power. The dam is the largest concrere struaure ever artempted and will back up the river some 150 miles to the Canadian border. The power is to be generated in 18 turbo machines, partly for pumping rhe water up into a storage reservoir for irrigation, and partly for industrial distribution. The test engineer's job is to make the necessary pull, bend, charpy, and rourine tests of steel, but mainly to X-ray some nine miles of welded seams in the penstocks that will lead the water through the dam to the power houses, as the specifications are extremely rigid as regards qualiry of welding.

• Julian B. Timberlake, '13, is spending the summer at "Sunny Hill," in Saluda, North Carolina. In the fall he will return to Virginia Beach (Va.) • C. T. "Shorty" Hull, '13', is now the resident manager for the Bird Neck Realty Corporation at Virginia Beach and is doing well. The development is a large one, located on the inlet which is fed by the Lynnhaven River. The homes are restricted. There is good fishing nearby and ducks ^re plentiful. Also, the famous goose hunting grounds of Carrituck Sound in North Carolina are within easy reach. Many retired officers live in and around this section. The Cavalier Country Club with its excellent 18-hole golf course is in the development as is the Beach Club. Shorry also is running a tutoring school for Annapolis and West Point and has had two real

successful seasons. His boys all passed their exams.

• All hands will be sorry to hear that "Spud" Hicks and "Swede" Hazlett, both in '15, have been relieved from active duty and ordered home awaiting retirement. The Service loses two outstanding officers and two fine shipmates from the active list. "Spud" will live in Berkeley, Calif., and "Swede" has decided upon St. Margarets, near Annapolis.

• Harris K. Lyle, '16, is now located in Gallup, New Mexico. He retired back in 1919 and after "fiddling around" for several years trying several fields of endeavor with not too much success, decided to go back to school. He graduared from Harvard Law School in 1927 and is now retained by the Kennecott Copper Corp., with headquarters in Gallup. "H. K." sent us some interesting dope on that frontier town which is recorded in part " . . . Gallup is a fronrier rown on the edge of the Navajo Indian Reservation and not very far from the Acomas, Lagunas, Hopes and Zunes. It is called the Indian Capital of the world. The Indians are far behind the Oklahoma tribes in wealth and education, hence the town appears wild and woolly. Other industries, for Indian trading is a big business, are sheep, wool, cattle and coal mining. The latter is the largest single industry although the mines are not large compared to some in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, etc. The cattle and sheep are nor found in the huge numbers of popular fiction but there are quite a few cowboys (and others) in sombreros, highheeled boots, etc., and are a familiar sight.

There are more good poker players here than any other place I have ever seen.

Every year Gallup holds an Indian ceremonial. Last night (Aug. 26th) I sat with three to four thousand whites and seven to eight thousand Indians and watched a program of Indian dancing from thirty-nine tribes. It was the finest exhibition of its sort that can be seen and fully bears out the mental idea of a frontier town."

Anniversary To the Professors attached to the Naval School, Annapolis, Md.: Oct. 6th. In obedience to the above order the following gentlemen, viz Lt. Ward, Professors Chauvenet, Lockwood and Girault and Psd Midn Marcy, met and organized; Lt. Ward in the chair.

Psd Midn Marcy appointed Secretary.

After a fair discussion of the various suggestions of different members of the board ir was determined to submit for the approval of the Superintendent the annexed reporr as the result of the Board's deliberations.

U. S. Naval School, Annapolis, Md. Oct. 6th, 1845.

Sir: The Academic Board composed of the professors of the Naval School and convened by your order of the 4th inst. having organized and deliberated upon the subjects referred to them respectfully submit for your approval the following general outline of the course of study, hours of recitation, etc.

The Board assumes that the Academic Year will extend at least until the last week in June thus allowing nine months for the course of study. /. Course of Instruction The instruction in the school to be comprised under the following six professorships: 1. Mathematics.

2. Natural Philosophy.

3. Chemistry.

SHIPMATE

4. Ordnance and Gunnery and the use of Steam.

5. History, Geography, English Grammar, etc.

6. French and Spanish languages.

The Board would suggest that instruction be given in fencing. It is presumed that a competent person to be rated as Gunner's Mate may be procured who will be otherwise useful in the institution. This instruaion to be given in the hours of recreation and not to be obligatory upon the Midshipmen.

The Board would also suggest that the Manual Exercise or Infantry drill be inrroduced. It would occupy not more than a half hour daily, would be healthy exercise and would tend to elevate the Military Character of the School. Professor Lockwood offers his services as instructor in this branch for the present.

The Board is also of the opinion that in the present arrangement of the studies regard should be had to the eventual introduction of Drawing.

IL Classification of

Midshipmen

It is proposed to call the two principal classes in the school the junior and senior classes.

Midshipmen who have just been admitted into the service and have not yet been at sea, to be members of rhe Junior Class.

Midshipmen enritled to examination for the grade of Passed Midshipmen at the end of the Academic Year to be members of the Senior Class.

Midshipmen who have been at sea but are not entitled to said examination to be assigned to either the Junior or Senior Class or ro such sections of these classes as they may be best fitted to join. in. Division of Studies The studies of the Junior Class to be Arithmetic, Elements of Algebra and Geometry, Navigation as far as the sailings, and the use of the Quadrant; Geography, English Grammar and Composition; and the French or Spanish language —the Junior Class to attend also the lectures in Narural Philosophy, Ordnance, etc. and Chemistry which are delivered to the Senior Class.

The studies of the Senior Class to be Algebra, Geometry, Plane and Spherical Trigonometry, Nautical Astronomy, Navigation — Descriptive Astronomy, Mechanics, Optics, Magnetism, Electricity, Ordnance, Gunnery, the use of Steam, History, Composition, the French or Spanish language.

New Graduate Manager Commander Ward Davis, '17, reported during rhe summer and has taken over the duties of Graduate Manager, relieving Commander "Andy" McFall, '16.

Ward is another of our outstanding officers. He has taken over with a "bang" and is working smoothly with this difficult berth. The way he handled the sport scribes, newspaper and movie phorographers at the "dress rehearsal" foorball practice was excellent.

New Press Box Captain E. W. McKee, '08, Director of Athletics, announces that the new Press Box in Thompson Stadium, Farragut Field, is completed. The Box provides three rows of seats with a capacity of 30 scribes and rheir telegraphers, in the mid-field section of the stands, and is glass-enclosed.

Two Turreted-broadcasring booths are mounted on either end of the box and a track is fitted between them for a dozen movable camera parries. Toilet and telephone facilities are also included in the new box. This is a much needed and welcome addition. The Press has a job to do and can always be depended upon to do it well. This new addition materially improves the facilities and comfort of the many sport scribes and camera men who work the games at the Academy.

Football The 1938 football season will be ushered in with the William and Mary g;ame, which will be played at the Naval Academy, on Saturday, September 24.

The squad, nearly ninety strong, reported to Hank Hardwick, '27, on Labor Day. The sport scribes, news photographers and movie camera parties ap-

peared in force on September 7, and took up the greater part of the afternoon gerting the dope, shooting pictures, etc.

The Navy team has a tough schedule, with V. M. I. as the second game, reported to have an excellent team and laying for Navy, and Virginia in the third game, coming up strong. Then, beginning with Yale on October 15, Princeton, Penn, Notre Dame and Columbia will be met on successive Saturdays and rhen ARMY after skipping one Saturday. What a schedule! Certainly it is a schedule without "breathers"â&#x20AC;&#x201D;but then, what games are "breathers"?

There are several changes in the Coaching Staff this season. Lt. C. R. Hall (MC), USN, joins the staff as medical officer and trainer. Keith Molesworth joins as assistant backfield coach.

"Moley" is a former star athlete at Monmouth College, graduating in '28, and a star back and quarter with the Chicago "Bears." He knows his football and will be a real help to the staff. "Ray" Swarrz, anorher srar athlete from Okla. A. & M., joins the staff as an assistant line coach.

Ray, too, can be depended upon to throw some "Southwestern atmosphere" into the game. R. W. Wood, '28, comes back

to the staff as head coach of the Plebes, who, incidentally have a good outfit.

Ralph will be assisted by Kane, '33, Sellers, '34, Mandelkorn, '35, and Manning, '36.

Every one knows our last season's coaches: "Hank" Hardwick, "Rip" Miller, "Johnny" Wilson, and "Cagey" Schacht, of the varsity; Frank Foster, "Slate" Cutter, "Tommy" Torgerson, of the "B" squad. They are out there early and late and will produce.

It would be quite difficult at this time to predict specifically the prospects for Navy's foorball campaign for rhe season of 1938. Generally speaking, however, the personnel strengrh in borh the line and backfield shapes up about the same as it did prior to the 1937 season. That is, the line material looks fairly good wirh the exception of the guard position.

The probable necessity of switching various linemen to fill gaps caused by graduation might also weaken the line somewhat. In the backfield the same old problem presents itself, that is, the lack of any outstanding triple threat, spark plug, or climax running backs. Most winning football teams are blessed with one or two of this type of player. Navy backs seeking positions on this year's squad are pracrically all the same by way of their general football qualifications and ability. However, all Navy supporters are hoping that this year Lady Luck will look down upon the football forces more kindly and that minor injuries will not creep into the backfield.

In estimating the winning or losing prospects of any football season, it seems to be fair and logical to base some predictions upon a review of the general merits of your respective opponents as well as the relative strength of your own squad. Navy is facing a very formidable array of worthy talent in the teams representing Yale, Princeton, Pennsylvania, Notre Dame, Columbia, and Army. It SHIPMATE

is also the opinion of many well qualified sports authorities that William and Mary, V. M. I., and Virginia are looking forward to "upsetting the dope bucket" in Crabtown this year. With Trzeciak and Shu in the backfield, V. M. I., often referred to as the West Point of the South, is particularly eager to beat Navy at Annapolis.

Regarding Navy's strength, no squad can lose such players as Gunderson, guard; Case, back; McFarland, back; Player, guard; Lynch, tackle; Minvielle, guard; Andrews, center; Captain DuBois, OCTOBER,

1938

guard; Ingram, back; Antrim, back; Reimann, back; Fincher, center; Fike, end; Franks, back; and not be greatly weakened.

The center position should not be weakened greatly by the loss of Fincher and Andrews as Harwood and Felix are very promising ciandidates. Wallace, playing his third year, should be greatly improved. A bad injury almost ended Wallace's playing career last year.

At this time guard appears to be the weakest spot on this year's Navy line.

It will be difficult to replace Captain Ray

DuBois, Heber Player, Dick Gunderson, and Al Minvielle. Spector, McMullen, Wolfe, Witter, Rhodes, and Feldmeier are the most promising candidates, of these Spector is outstanding.

The loss of "Tiny" Lynch, 235-pound tackle of last year's squad, will be keenly felt. It is hoped that the great improvement in Ben Jarvis will take care of this loss. Hysong, Bergner and Van Meter are all fine defensive tackles. The problem at tackle remains the same as in last year's squad, that is, developing a better offense.

At end Navy lost the veteran Irwin 9

Fike. Fike was a star end for three years and his loss cannot be too greatly emphasized. Captain Powell should be outstanding, but it may be necessary to shift him to the backfield. In that case, Burke, Baughman, Corbett, Ghesquiere, Rowney and Durette should wage a merry fight for this position.

The Navy backfield was the hardest hit by graduation. Navy lost the entire backfield that started the season last Fall, along with an outstanding back in Art Franks who resigned. As in the past.

Navy has no outstanding broken field runner, as Cooke and Wood are the only veterans returning. Ir can be seen that Navy's problem rhis Fall is in developing an entire new backfield. The only department in which the Navy is well fortified in the backfield is in kickers.

The squad has been practicing in the early (and cool) morning hours, topping off their workout with a bif steak breakfast. Following the subsequent rest periods, a strenuous work out is held in mid-afternoon. This concentration of effort should put the youngsters in fine physical shape for the season.

This year rhe "B" squad—as such—is abolished and the entire squad will be found under the "A" squad banner. This

Navy has won 11, and lost 1. William and Mary is reported to be strong this year.

It was back in the "gay nineties" that V. M. I. and the Navy first met on the football field. This game was played in 1898 and the Navy won 21 to 5. Other games were played in 1904 and 1905, the Navy being victorious 12 to 0 and 34 to 0. Now, after a lapse of 33 years, these teams will meet again. V. M. I. is expected to have one of the outstanding teams in the South. In Trzeciak and Shu, Navy will meet two fine backs.

change is a good one and will undoubtedly result in less mental suffering to the youngster who finds himself temporarily demoted from the first one or two starting line-ups. It should also provide greater incentive and encouragement to the "hustler" who now may during any game find himself among the chosen.

Princeton second team and Navy were played as early as 1885, and the first varsity game was played in 1892. Not since 1925 have these two teams met in Navy's "home" territory. That year they battled to a 10-10 tie in the Baltimore Municipal Stadium, the scene of this season's game. Navy has never beaten a Crisler-Wieman coached Princeton team.

In fact, last year's Navy team was the only team that had ever scored on this combination. Princeton gave Navy her worst drubbing last year both physically and numerically.

As is the case with most football teams, success or non-success depends a lot on those well known and elusive good or bad breaks. Although Navy's prospects do not look too encouraging. Navy should have a team good enough to force these breaks, and Navy supporters are hoping rhar the breaks will be of the good vari- October 29—UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA AT PHILADELPHIA. ery.

The Navy and the Press {Continued from page 4) Navy is in the limelight because of naval legislation, or war games, or a tense situation, there is a public clamor for Navy news. Human interest stories are always interesting and particularly the life of a sailor, for he is considered by landsmen as a breed apart. For example, there was a decided interest in the recent Fleet maneuvers because of the world siruation, and audiences in the theaters cheered when piaures showed the sailing of the United States Fleet. It is not too much to say that the general interest of the American people in the Fleet is quickened by the newspapers and the motion pictures which print Navy news and show scenes of Naval activity.

It has been said that ""the news is the stufiF of civilization—the substance of today, the echo of yesterday, the shadow of tomorrow." For example, the interview that Admiral Bloch granted before the recent maneuvers and rhen after they had terminated off Hawaii, gave millions of readers their annual picture and only picture of the maneuvers of the U. S. Fleet on a grand scale. Of course, some of this interview was re-written by the press and conmients made, but "the substance of today" in the doings of the Navy came from rhe Commander-inChief.

Admiral Yarnell gained rhe well deserved thanks and public expression of rhe Shanghai press for the excellent way that he kept the press informed night

and day throughout the Shanghai conflict and the Panay incident. Here we have the "echo of yesterday," and possibly the "shadow of tomorrow." Such a press liaison has its effect in informing anxious mothers and fathers, and even the public in general, that the situation is well in hand, casualties if any, when, how, whom, and where. No news always leads to apprehension. There are, of course, many situations where no news can be given to the press, and when only a part may be given, great care must be exercised with statements and official expressions.

Opinions and self-interest determine much of the ideology and the aims of the pressure groups in a democracy. The resultant of the opinions, beliefs, and behavior of the voters force the enactment of the laws of the land. The history of the world is, after all, a re-wrire of the daily news. In the last analysis the chance of war or peace will be determined to a great measure by the general slant of the information given to the people. This power musr not be underestimated.

It, of course, goes without saying that all officers will safeguard secret and confidential information, and they will also leave most of the "talking" to those in authority. But when human interest stories break or dramatic events occur every commanding officer may at times be expected to deal with the press, and he will surely find that when the situation is properly explained the reliable correspondents will play fair and report accurately. Reliable editors and correspondents have gone on official record as implacable foes of propaganda. It has never been thought that the Navy should resort to propaganda and on rhis point it is believed the Navy stands on firm ground. For after all, the Navy is a fighting organization, proud and inrensely jealous of its record, and for that fact alone there is always a public interest in how men live in such an organization, what they direct and operate, and in general rerms, what policies they are ready ro defend.

With the present projected building program, it is certain rhat the public interest in the Navy will increase and many requests will be made for stories of naval activities. The Navy will adhere to its trust of exerting every effort to safeguard confidential naval matters, but on the other hand the Navy will assist the press in every possible way, with recognition always of the need of a free press for a democratic body politic.

Thomas Jefferson saw it clearly when he said: "Our liberty depends upon the freedom of the press and that can not be limited without being lost."

Football Uniforms Captain E. W. McKee, '08, Director of Athletics, is to be congratulated on the new uniforms which he has selected for the 1938 football team. The shirts are Old Gold with Navy Blue epaulets; the head-gears are of Navy Blue, stripped with Old Gold, the stripes radiating from the top of the helmets. The pants are of Navy Blue and rhe stockings of Navy Blue with a broad horizontal Old, Gold stripe. The contrast is pleasingly striking. The change is a welcome one from the previous drab uniforms.

An Early Football Team The cover picture is of an early football team at the Academy. They are: (1) Kittrell,'85, guard; (2) Toney,'83, tackle; (3) O'Leary, '83, guard; (4) Jackson, '83, halfback and caprain; (5) Hill, '84, end; (6) Tilden, '85, end; (7) O'Malley, '84, quarterback; (8) Parker, '86, tackle; (9) Dalyrymple, '85, business manager; (10) Dashiell, '85, fullback; (11) Carter, '84, halfback; (12) Street, '83, center.

® At the suggestion of the Pittsburgh Branch, the Trustees adopted the following amendment to the Constitution, which is submitted to the membership for their consideration:

NOTES

• The Secretary maintains the file of all those who request employment. When a call is received from a company, those individuals who have listed their requests are notified and the list of names sent to the company in question. In several instances, jobs have been offered by companies for which there are no individual requests filed. For example, one corporation wanted a Naval Academy man who had specialized in law. There was no one then available in the listings.

A hurried call was sent out to those few who might be interested but the job finally went to an alumnus from another college. The company couldn't wait. Another came in from one of New York's oldest newspapers for retired officer to join the editorial staff of that paper in the service department. Again, there was no such listing in file.

PHILADELPHIA,

PA.

The Philadelphia Branch opens their 19381939 season, after the usual summer lay-off, with a luncheon on Wednesday, September 21st, at the Bellevue-Stratford Hotel. A big year is anticipated and many most interesting meetings are planned.

Before closing for the summer, a committee was appointed to arrange for the party the night of the Army-Navy game. Harvey Wilson, '20, was appointed Chairman and Admiral Watt T. Cluverius, '96, was appointed co-chairman. The committee has seleaed the Bellevue again to be the scene of the affair.

In previous years some difficulty has been experienced by those who had not made reservations for the Ball. The affair has always been a large one and the Committee taxed to the limit to take care of those who arrived at the "gate" with the "show on" and trying to get a table. They have always handled these late requests in a most efficient manner but with not some delay which everyone knows could not be avoided. This year a record turn-out is anticipated and the Committee asks that those who expect to attend send their requests in early to Shane H. King, '25, Secretary of the Philadelphia Branch at 1515 Locust St. The Committee has scouted the available professional talent in and around Philadelphia and has already engaged the pick of these performers for the Ball. Their selections have been based on quality, not quantity, and an excellent show is assured. One of the best, if not the best, dance bands in the Philadelphia area has been engaged, 'The Gang" are assured of a regular get-together, good music, good entertainment, good food, and GOOD FELLOWSHIP. Admiral Clu15

verius is lending the facilities of the League Island Navy Yard to put over this party in ancient and approved style. The cost has received very careful consideration and will not run more than 13.50 per plate.

Further details will appear in the next issue of SHIPMATE. In the meantime, plan to meet your shipmates and classmates at the Ball and LET THE COMMITTEE KNOW.

The next dinner meeting has been set for Friday, September 16th, the place still to be seleaed. For information communicate with Charles E. Briner, '26, Secretary-Treasurer, 4733 Center Ave., Pittsburgh, Ohio.

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL. The August meeting found Captain Peterson speaking on policies in their relation to legislation and particularly upon the Merchant Marine legislation in Washington. The growing menace of Communism was also taken up in a convincing manner. It was gratifying to find a number of the officers from the Fleet present, and the various classes from '98 to '38 were represented. The class of '07 had four as also had the class of '38. The classes in between by from one to three. The branch all hope that the Fleet will attend their meetings more frequently.

We are informed that the September meeting featured a luncheon at which the Midshipmen who were on leave and in that vicinity, were guests. The meeting was held on September 12, too late for the reports to reach us.

The San Francisco Branch sends out a mimeographed news sheet each month in which all the dope concerning their meetings, etc., are published.

WASHINGTON, D. C. The Washington Branch met Friday, the 9th, at the Hour Glass, a new night spot run

by Vincent Gallagher (the fine oarsman of the Class of 1922).

We had hoped that "Rip" Miller with some of the assistant coaches would be up to tell us about this year's football and were greatly disappointed to find that some last minute arrangements in Annapolis deprived us of the opportunity of hearing the speeches for which the group had assembled.

Fonunately for us, however, Ralph Parr, '12, gave us a splendid exhibition of aviation piaures.
