According to Sporting Editor Joe

that Annapolis may enter a crew in
the intercollegiate regatta next year,
after all, begin to look much brighter
as the result of statement made yes
terday by prominent naval official.
1.-THE idea of letting the Middies race
at Poughkeepsie at first did not ap-

Ing beyond the stage of talk" said he,
''for the simple reason that 1t was con-
sidered an unwise thing for the mid

probably be unable to spend much time
in preliminary practice at Pough.
