THREE COLLEGES OF
EAST NOT TO APPEAR

Annapolis. Md, March 25.-Although
the athletic authorities of the Naval
Academy have not received official in
formation to the effect, il is taken
for granted here that neither Yale,
Harvard or Cornell will send crews
TO Annapolis to participate in the re-
gatta for the Chlld's trophy cup on
Severn River May IS, in view of dis
patches sent out by the rowing man
agement of those three universities.
The declination OF the Ellis and
Crimsons and Ithacans naturally will
put something OF a crimp in the big
classic, as it was hoped to have seven
or eight. or as many crews that
might wish to compete. However. as
matters now stand, there viii be five
eights entered. so it should be a
mighty attractive affair anyhow. Co
lumbia, Syracuse. Penna, Princeton
and the navy. are the crews that will
line up for the getaway. according
TO the present arrangements.
In addition to the regatta the Mid
dies will have two or more dual
brushes on the Severn. April % will
be Pennsylvania day here as the
Quakers will send their varsity, sec
ond and freshman eights to Annapo-
lis to, row against the sailors. Ne
gotiations are pending with Syracuse.
Columbia and other crews for a dual
engagement.

NOTES OF GAME AND CAMP

Trainer Mike Martin is the busiest
man in this part of Georgia or
Carolina these days, as it has now
come to the turning point of one
sore arm after another. Lieut..
Johnny LAWN has now Joined the
hospital list, as his right wing re-
fuses to act right. Lavan contracted
slight cold in his arm yesterday,
and could not work out the stiffness
in the morning drilling.
The Old Fox shifted the speedy
short fielder to the outer garden
for the afternoon contest, and Sam
my Rice was given the opportunity
to prove his worth as an infielder
Although two of the dependable
players of the Nationals are now
tied up with sore arms the Mayor
Of Cherrydale refuses to look upon
the gloomy Side of the present
makeup of the team.
Trainor Martin stated tonight
that Lavan's arm would sure be in
shape in day or two, while Jim
Shaw, the big Pittsburgh stogie
Is fast rounding into form. II
was at first believed that Shaw had
bursted a small blood vessel in the
shoulder muscles of his right wing
but after a careful examination to-
day, the Old Fox was satisfied that
the big fellow has contracted a
heavy cold in his pitching wing.
Trainer Martin is confident that
both Of these athletes will be in shape
to do their share of the honors in the
game scheduled for Wednesday with
the 10th Infantry.
Another large crowd is expected to
attend this Wednesday contest as the
infantry team Is one of the best at
the cantonment, as they finished sec
ond to the 10Sth in the winter league.
A few Of the best players at Camp
Hancock have been added to the ros-
ter Of the 10th and the "Sammies''
are confident that they win make a
better showing against the Nationals
than the 1OSth Artillery on last Satur-
day. 1t seems to be a hobby of Man
ager Griffith to collar a bunch of hard
hitting Yannigans each spring, 1t
will be remembered that Ray Nor
gan last season took the Yannigan
Team up the coast on a transforming
trip in which eight games were play
ed on the way.
