M|DD|ES' BEST ROWING YEAR
COACH GLENDON HAS SQUAD
ON THE MACHINES.
Navy Will For The First Timne Have
DistinctiveIy Freshman Crew
On The Water.

The many plans for the coming row.
ing season at the Naval Academy have.
been added to by the determination
To place a distinctively Freshman or
plebe crew on the water this spring.
In past seasons the middies have al
ways put three crews on the water the
third crew being generally composed
of good timber To be nursed through
the season for advancement the next
year. Last spring this third crew met
one opponent. 1t was composed, how
ever, of men from all classes at the
Academy. This year the plebe crew
will be made up entirely of fourth
classmen.
Coach Richard Glendon, who has
brought the MILDLY crew from place
among the tailenders and made them
rank among the best college oarsmen
in the country, in the past two or
three seasons since he took hold of
their rowing, has his squad of about
seventy-five men hard at work ON the
machines and will, with the first
opportunity, put the shells on the
waters of the Severn.
The management of the crews has
already arranged one race for the
Freshmen with the eight of George
town Preparatory School, of Washing
ton, for May a.. Negotiations are now
pending with the Ariel Juniors, of
Baltimore, and, although nothing
definite has as yet been received, IL
is expected that the Baltimoreans will
consent to send their crew here.
Since the middies have lost only
three of the varsity eight by gradua-
ton since last season, there is good
nucleus to begin this year with. The
first and second crews have already
been made up, but the positions are
tentative, as the men will be shifted
about frequently as the season pro-
crosses. Captain Ingram has resumed
his old position as stroke of the first
eight, in which he did such strong
work last season.
The other men who are rowing as
OF the varsity crew are as follows !:
Mckee, Z; Rockwell, 6: Leighton, 5 :;
White. A; Pritchard. 3; Stoer, 2, an d
Richardson, bow. Including Ingram,
the other four men of those named
above who rowed last season are
Rockwell, Mckee. Leighton, Pritch-
ard, bow, and w. T.. Brown, cox
swain. White was member of the
second crew, Stoer was substitute
and Richardson is new man. The
last named played on the football
team last fall.
The makeup of the second crew is
as follows: Bastedo. stroke; Kin
kaid. Z; Bernhard, 6; Friedell, 5
Montgomery, 4 Reinicke, 3 Davis,
2; Elliott, bow, and McGuder, cox
swain. Montgomery and Davis rowed
i'm this crew last season.
In addition to the races already
arranged. the varsity has also sent a
challenge to the Union Boat Club, Of
Boston.

Oh, the snow the goodlooking snow,
They say il is healthy, but how do

Pneumonia. bronchitis, chilblains and
I'm sure il is healthy, for doctors

oh. the snow, the cold clammy snow,
You must make n path through II

A path TO the woodshed, path 10 the
pump,
And shoveling paths will keep you
on the jump.
Oh, the snow the obstinate snow.
You work and you work, but your
work doesn't show;
For when you have worked till you're
chock full of pain
You've got all your work 10 do over
again.
Oh. the snow. the ubiquitous SHOW.
AS into each Granny and crevice you
blow
We find you in heaps scattered over
the floor,
Where you drift through The windows
or under the door.
Oh, the snow, indiscriminate snow.
You cover the tracks of the high and
the low;
Whether they're wrong or whether
they're right,
You cover them all with n. mantle
of white.
Oh, the snow, the lingering snow,
Why in the world don't you pack up
and go;
I'm sure you'll be welcome again by
and by;
But | hope you will wait till some
day in July.
