This tragedy obviously set the parents of Rennlo much against' any further sport participation by their younger son.

The ban waif placed on air forms of athletics. One night, however, prominent citizens and a committee from Ihe Ptudent body of tho high school called at the Oosterbaan home requesting Ronnie's dad to penult the boy to play again. At first the elder Oosterbaan was Unit in Ills decision Later he relented. Tho great fame that 1ms cofne to Bennlo at. Michigan has done much to erase the sorrow of the elder son's death.

Ranked with Michigan's Best The Newport News Apprentices the way of gridiron art'llory yester day afternoon and proceeded to forward pass, end run and line plunge their nay to a 61 to 6 victory over the Swavely School, of Manassas, Va. in a football game that embodied every feature of ay track meet except the hammer throw. In running up 61 points, tlie Apprentices broke the park record recently established by the Newport News Independents when they made 60 jKjints a week ago, and fet ft new record for points made in any game in which thcyNhave participated this year. Yenterday's episode could hardly be dignified with the name football.

But for moments of carelessness after they had taken a 2S-point lead, the Clan of Hobeson would have run up a higher score. They were on the verge of scoring their tenth touchdown In fact were only about 'a-saway from the goal line W'bViU'the afternoon's fracas was brought to a clos. 'The Apprentices lived up to their named Phantoms, l'ass after pass, some short but theinost of them long, streaked through the air and In the majority of instances landed safe in the arm of a thundering red-Jerneyed Gimple, Hogge, Mutter, Morris, Jones, Must, Lankford and nearly everybody else caught lengthy passes as various formations made them eligible. Swaveloy just couldn't marshal! a defense capable of stop ping the aerial barrage. Twice they intercepted Apprentice passes, but the other thousand or tso times stood helplessly by as the golden oval n'led through the air and landed everywhere except on the ground.

Swavely only score came in the third quarter and was the result of a break. Lankford kicked straight up in the air from the fifteen-yard line i rid the 'ball struck the turf, bounding back to the Apprentices 3-yard line before Lankford fell on it. On the very next play Olin, the captain, threw a beautiful pass to Strouppe who had circled around the right end into the end zone where he received the pass and downed it for a score. An attempted dropkick for the extra point was blocked. The visitors were elm'pTy outclassed in everything I hat can bo done on football field.

Several of tJietr passes tried at scattering" Intervals were successful for several lengthy gains, but a. rushing Apprentice' forward wall crushed anything in the way of a drive that had a touchdown as its object. Yesterday the Apprentices really opened tip for the lirst time this season- Passes, end runs, delayed line-bucks, criss-cross plays, lock-step formations, everything that the local grid'ron had ever known, was brought into action anil resulted In a gain. mm LE Annual Battle Between Two Service Elevens be Staged at Polo Grounds on Saturday. WEST POINT, N.

Nov. 21. Army's hard work in preparation for the annual struggle with the Navy next Saturday at the Polo Grounds, is about over. AVith the possible exception of a scrimmage on Tuesday, McEwan does not plan any hard work this coming week. The big drive for the Navy was made last week, with the result that this week wll more or less see a fin-ishing-off and polishlng-of process In action.

Special efforts are being made to Improve the ArYny's forward pass defense, since it is well known that the Navy team, with Hamilton bearing the brunt of the passing and Klippln and Shapely on the receiv-In end, is particularly, strong in this respect. While McEwan didn't give the first team very much scrimmage last week lones took the second team in tow ind gave them a great amount of It, for; McEwan and Jones realize that Army line must bo made strong ind rugged to withstand the power that Is in the heavier line of the Navy team. With Captain Lent, a tower of strength, both on offense and defense, the Army coaches have beeti putting forth extra efforts to build up a team that can stand the repeated assaults of such a heavy team. Every day last week, McEwan and Vidal worked with the Army kickers and the whole kicking gamein general. Trapnell and Hewitt were drilled half hours at a time In speeding up their kicking.

While some improvement wjis made, there is jet room for a great deal more and -McEwan plans to devote a great deal of time this coming week to a continuation of the kicking drills. While all the Army cripples are not In the best of shape, there Is every reason to believe that all of them, with the possible exception of Uarbold, 'will be In sufficiently good ifrane to enter tho Navy game with if "it to themselves and to the team ind its supporters. And since the Navy will, In all probability be able to put Its full strength upon the field, there is no reason to doubt that the Army will need every single man It can muster particularly the first string men who have been more or less battered up in three hard games In a row with Vale, Davis and Elklns and Columbia. Although neither team is going to toe the white line next Saturday as championship contender, yet every one knows that this annual classic Is a game of gumes, that both teaais enter to do or die, and that brand of football displayed, wouid be enough to more than beat any other team on the same day.

The Presidents cup for the champion servlcn team was recovered for the nnvy today by the Qnanllco Murines who smashed and forward-passed their way to a 20 to 0 victory over the Fort Benning Army team before a colorful crowd.

"On behalf of tlie Marine corps and tho test of tnv team, I Ihnnk you very mui-h," Captain McQitHde replied as the crowd applauded und the regiment of marines sent up a final cheer. Although tlie Army, which won the cup Inst year from a Navy team In the lirst "year of competition, failed lo cross the Leather Nerk's goal line, they had an ever-present threat In Lieutenant Smythe, former West Point star, and the game was full of thrills. Hmyio was the only Army man who could gain with consist ency, but he had lacked final punch to nut over a score. The Marines flashed a fast, hard running backileld and with Geottge at quarter back, they uncovered a beautiful forward passing game which the Army was utiablo lo break' up. Most of the Marino yard- sure came that way although 1' uil back Henry frequently ploughed through the Army lino for good fralnM.

The players from tho Georgia fort made their only serious bid fur a score In the second period wncu Nmytho finally worked the ball to the one yard line. There the powerful Marine lino refused to yield and the ball went over on downs when it was but a foot from the goal line. While the Army made frequent substitutions only once was a pluycr badly hurt. Smythe was knocked unconscious near the end of the game when he stopped McQuado after the Marino back had run 20 yards to the 10 yard line. The Army star was carried to the sidelines and when he recovered a few minutes later and was helped from the field the crowd broke Into applause in which Mrs.

Nov. 21. Washington and Lee's Generals undefeated In the Southern Conference, wound up its gridiron season at home today with a 14 to 0 score over North Carolina State. It was the fifth time this year that the locals have downed a conference member, i The only other remaining game on the Generals' schedule is the contest with Florida at Jacksonville on Thanksgiving Day. North Carolina State's downfall today was due principally to its inability to forestall the charges of Palmer, Rauber and Wilson.

Several times during tho contest Mike circled tho ends for runs of 10 to 20 yards and AVilson on one occassion went around end for 15 yards. Rauber went through the line on several plays for 10 and 15 yard gains. The Generals' first scoro came near the close of the initial period after they had gained possession of the ball on downs' on State's 20 yard line and a pass, Wilson to Rauber, advanced it to the 5 yard mark from where a 4'i yard gain through tho line by enabled Wilson Vt carry the ball over. Rauber then kicked goal. In tho next period, tho Generals got the ball on their own 20 yard line and several successive end runs of from 10 to 17 yards by Palmer put it on State's 2 yard mark.

Here Rauber hit tackle for 1 yard and then went over for the second touchdown. Again he kicked goal. The third and fourth periods were principally punting duels, although in tho third quarter. Palmer got off to a 20 yard run off left tackle that brought ppeetalors to their fet. He was downed, however, on tlie Slate 20 yard line and tlie Generals lost tho ball when McDowell intercepted Wilson's pal's.
