RACES FOR MlDSHlPMeN
ROWING OUTLOOK THIS YEAR
AT THE NAVAL ACADEMY.

Rowing affairs AT the Naval Academy
took a decided jump Monday last when
Coach Harry Glendon had his men report
for preliminary enrolment at the new
gymnasium. The list of candidates sur
passed al! previous records and the who'e
array of officers. midshipmen and Coach
Glendon are enthusiastic over the pros
poets.
The rapid progress that the future ad-
mirals making in every branch of
athletics has attra cted wide attention. eS-
pecially among collegians and great things
are expected this year in their rowing.
Coach Glendon has maintained that the
Naval Academy boys went into the Poush-
keepsie Regatta last season handicapped
water where they could regularly train
eor the 1our-mile race. They had a series
of races with crews from Pennsylvania.
Yale, Harvard. Columbia and George
town that We're only for two miles, and
the training for these many events kept
them out OF the going for the longer dis
lance. but this year they hope to alternate
in such manner as to be fit for the
grueling race Of four miles.
Coach Glendon says a democratic spirit
prevails among the authorities at the
Naval Academy this year. and he is sure
the oarsmen will receive much more con-
sideration than eyer before. Last year
was an experimental one in the matter
of Poughkeepsie. this year we know eX-
actly the nature OF things and hence are
going after it differently"
That the Naval Academy Will send
crew to the Hudson this year is not only
the opinion Of Coach Glendon. but also OF
Midshipmen Rush. who is in charge of the
Naval Academy Rowing Association. They
argue that the failure OF the crew to win
at the first trial should not weaken the
navy's attempt to make future trial. II
would be a case of white feather or yell
low streak to give up after one trial
Keep ramming'' is the slogan among
m;dshipmen.
Coach Glendon will have plenty of races
on hand in the last Of April and in May
but he is still anxious to seEd crew.
If the authorities will permit him. over TO
the American Henley at Philadelphia May
%. as he is DESTROYS OF trying out one o.
his Fights on the short stretch of the
Henley course.
The races arranged so far by the navy
oarsmen for April and May are with
Yale. Pennsylvania, Harvard and Column
bia and IL is not improbable that George
town may also be given a date this year.

friendly terms

ENGAGEMENTS.

NEW YORK, February S.-Owen Moran.
the great little English fighter. has been
suffering from an attack of pleurisy that
may cause him to cancel his engagements
for a short time. His manager, Charles
Harvey despite the illness. has renewed
his challenge to Battling Nelson TO fight
Moran at 12S pounds.
When Nelson was helping Abe Attell
for the Moran fight Nelson boosted that
he could fight at 12S pounds. Harvey at
that time challenged Nelson on behalf of
Moran. but Bat at once left for Ogden, and
he has never replied to the challenge. Now
Harvey renews his def. and if Nelson will
fight Moran at IDS pounds Harvey will
accommodate Nelson with as big sid =
bet as the Dane may care to make Mel
son has just declared that he is in for an
active fighting campaign. and Harvey
feels that here is fine chance for him
not only to fight one of the best in the
world at the weight. but also to get a
fine purse from one Of the California
clubs. where Moran is a fine drawing
card since his great battle with Attell.
