NAVY hIDSHIPMEN
TO ROW NEXT YEAR
Academy Crew to Meet the
Big Colleges.

ANNAPOLIS. Nd, Jan. 3.-Midship-
man Paul H Fretz. manager of the Ma
val Academy boat crews, yesterday an
nounced the final schedule of boat races
to be rowed by the middies during the
coming season. That for the first crew is
as follows: May ?, University of Penn
sylvania; May 9. Yale; May o. George
town. The second crew will race the
Pennsylvania freshmen on May 2, the
date of the Navy-Pennsy contest, and
Manager Fretz Is working hard to get
a race for them with Georgetown's sec
ond crew, as the middies who fail to
make the Navy boat seem to lose inter
est after their one race early in the sea
son, and it is desired to keep all good
material in training until the seasons
end. Last years schedule included four
races with the three crews above men
toned and Harvard, The management
considers this number too great a strain
on the men, and Saturday, May IS, has
been left open. Another reason for tho
absence of a boat race on that day is be
cause It is the date of the baseball con
test between West Point and Annapolis.
The boat will suffer a severe loss by
the graduation of Captain Freyer and
Stroke Nichols, two of the best oarsmen
the Academy ever produced. Coxswain
Bingham has also gone, and Cooper. an
other member, has graduated. Schla-
bach has broken shoulder from foot
ball. and will not be kept here. so that
only a very few members of last years
crew are left There are, however, a
number of promising men who rowed at
one time or another during last season.
and with any sort of Improvement on
their part. and a large new class to draw
upon. the chances are bright for a good
crew. Manager Fretz expects to stay
and viii be head coach until the arrival
OF Lieut.. J. W Timmon. captain Of the
IS crew, who will be this seasons coach.
The most Disappointing feature Of the
situation is the refusal of the surgeons
to allow Fretz to enter the boat Fretz
is probably the best oarsmen now at the
Academy. but the doctors say his heart
action Is a trile weak. and. though he
could play football. he will not be al
lowed TO train for the crew.
The second class contains only one
good oarsman. namely. Herbert Harlan
Michael. of Perryman. Hartford county.
Nd. who is pretty sure of place, but
the third crew has a number Of good
ones. the best of whom are Lewis c.
Farley. of Massachusetts; Arthur c.
stott, New York; Horace c. Laird. Tex
as; William Baggaly. Pennsylvania; Al
yah B. Court. Texas; Nelson II. Goss,
Indiana; Albert S. Rees. Tennessee. and
q number OF others.

SLOW PROGRESS ON
AMERICAN DEFENDER
Nothing in Way of Actual
Construction Done.

BRISTOL, R. L, Jan. 3.-The Construc-
ton of the yacht that is TO be a can
didate for the honor of defending Amer
lea $ cup against Sir Thomas Lptons
choice, is progressing slowly at the Her
reshoff shops There are newspaper
stories about the setting Of the entire
stem of the new boat. the shape of the
bow, etc. but these stories are purely
imaginary.
No part Of the stern has yet appeared
in the construction shop, and no pTepar-
ations are as vet being made to set up
frames. In fact. nothing pertaining to
the new defender. except the lead keel,
is in the shop in which the boat viii
he built
Valuable time is being lost, to be sure,
but the Herreshofs are poweTless TO
prevent it, as there is an unexpected de-
lay in the arrival OF the huITs steel an
giles for the midship frames, and until
this metal arrives, nothing in the way
OF actual construction can be done.
The delay is the source Of a good deal
of worry 10 Capt Nat Herreshof, the
designer, as the keel was cast fully four
weeks earlier in the season than that
of the Constitution, two years ago, and
it was hoped to get the boat into the
water early in April, about month
earlier than the Constitution was
launched.
With everything at hand to work with
the building Of previous defenders at
HerreshoTs has occupied within a few
days of five months, but considering
the present delay it is not likely that
the new boat can be ready to go down
the ways before the first week IN Nav.
Never Slight Work
It is weII known that the Here
shons never slight their work and that
they are hard people to hurry, and one
OF the foremen said this morning that
the delay of metal had already cost
them the two weeks start that was
gained in casting the lead keel
The stem, which is Of Tobin bronze
and cast in three sections, is all ready
to set up. hut as it viii require
several days to lend the steel angles
into shape for frames. after they ar
rive there is no disposition on the
part of the designer to set up the stem
weeks in advance OF the time when it
will be needed. as there is always danger
to the castings when unsupported by
frames: and then, too. the chances Of
secrecy. as to the lines Of the boat would
he lessened by this needless exposure
of the bare stem.
All preliminary work that can be done
IS having careful attention, but until
the heavy nickel steel hull angles arrive
nothing in the way Of actual constTuc-
lion can be accomplished
