Annapolis, Nd. Jan. H.-Although the
football season at the Naval Academy is
a month past. interest in athletics among
the midshipmen has not been allowed to
wane in the slightest. In fact. with the
expansion in the several branches of win
ter and spring sports. and the addition of
other branches, in recent years, it Is
like d merry-go-round of athletic con-
tests. fIom the opening of the Naval
School in October, until the final cere-
monies of commencement, or closing
week in June.
Just at present basketball has the
card. and the middies met their first for
midabe opponent in the five from New
York University to-day. The remainder
of the schedule is attractive.
Within a few weeks. fencing. which Is
mere of the scientific, as we'll as inter-
esting to the sport lovers. will be added
to the calendar. And with wrestling.
boxing. and gymnastics, which come
next. followed closely by baseball Ia
crosse. field and track athletics, rowing,
and rifle shooting, the MILDLY athletes
will have enough to keep them on the
go fer the next six months.
Annapolis mas really become one of the
biggest sporting centers in the country,
for in addition to the various contests
at the Naval Academy, St Johns Col
lege a local institution. furnishes an at
tractive side issue with it's schedule OF
different events. st. Johns last year
plunged into the arena of basketball.
and the students soon took kindly to
the sport. 1t has a strong schedule this
season, though some of its games are
played at home, while all CT the Navy
contest must necessarily take place Ut
Annapolis.
A chronicle of the different athletic
events to be pulled off during the next
few months is given below. The Middies
have not been able to complete their
schedule of field and track games. largely
because of the recent holidays, but con-
tests will very likely be arranged with
Johns Hopkins. Pennsylvania State. CO.
lumbia, and probably Princeton. Nor has
the rifle-shooting schedule been arranged,
but it is certain that the Middies will
again meet teams of the Seventy-first
Regiment. n. Y. n. G.; National Guard
of the District Of Columbia, and the
Maryland National Guard. In addition.
the Middies will also enter their team
in the national competitions at Camp
Perry. Ohio.
The same condition confronts the naval
athletic authorities. as regards the row.
ing schedule, but races have been def
initely arranged with the varsity and
freshmen crews of Pennsylvania and the
varsity crew of Columbia for May and
May 13. respectively.
The whole series of events will make
It a banner year for Annapolis in ath-
missing this time. as the annual Army
Navy baseball game will be played at
West Point, last years game having been
played here. These games are played al
ternately at West Point and Annapolis.
