PR0MOTE ATHLETICS IN NAVY
Authorities Arrange Matches In Sports
Which Have Special Value in
Training Of officer.

IN order to encourage every mid
shipman to take part in some form Of
athletics, the authorities of the Naval
Academy have adopted a comprehen'
sive scheme by which performances In
inter-company matches In various
sports are placed upon a plane with
proficiency in the professional
branches, such as infantry and artil-
lery drills, seamanship, rife shooting
and handling small boats. in the de-
termination of the right to carry the
brigade colors.
Having found that there are plenty
of applicants to join the squads in
football, baseball, rowing and other
sports in which there is competition
with outside teams, the authorities
have re-arranged the schedule so as
to assign points to only those sports
which have not proved so attractive
yet which could afford exercise and
athletic rivalry to a large number.
Emphasis Is placed particularly upon
sports which have special value in
the training of naval officer. such
as fencing swimming and handling
small boats under oars and sails.
Another notable change in the
scheme Of marking in the brigade
competition is that no points are as.
signed for securing a place on any of
The teams, as heretofore, but all marks
are assigned to the company winning
places in any of the various team
competitions. The only marks assign.
ed to individuals are in cases where
the competition is individual in its
nature. such as fencing, boxing, wres-
Ting and swimming. This is to en-.
courage the team spirit rather than
the effort to win personal victory.
The sports which have heretofore
figured in the competition, but which
appear to be sufficiently popular with
out the encouragement of bringing to
the player points in the color compe-
tition are: Football, baseball. crew
rowing. basketball, lacrosse and field
and track work. Those sports which
still enter into the competition and
apparently are thought to need spe-
cial encouragement on the part of the
authorities are: Tennis, gymnastics,
boxing. wrestling, swimming and fen
cling
Some distinct changes have been
made in the assignment of values to
the different professional branches.
Infantry drill now counts 450 points
and artillery drill $50, whereas they
formerly each counted 300. Seaman
ship and target practice with small
arms are valued at 300 each, handling
sailing cutters, 100, and the winning
OF places in the race for cutters un-
der oars, rs points. The total num-
ber of points in the professional
branches and sports is 1.795.

he would sign the bill. The Conyen.
tion, which was composed of school
directors from all school districts OF

hearty Endorsement of the code With
several minor changes. The sun

that the code, which vas as nearly

portunity Of a generation TO place

suggested that the educators who had
minor objections to the articles OF

promised in this measure, should not
fail in the end
