Both elevens are among the most powerful aggregations ever collected. At Newport the names in the squad contain almost an All-American lineup. Black and Callahan of Yale, Paisley of Michigan, and the star Syracuse guard, Schlacter, are in the line. The work of the last-named player was the outstanding feature of the informal-Naval Reserve game.
