HAS VAST
OYSTER INDUSTRY
Firm Of MeNasby Company En-
ploys Large Force. Ships
1000 Gallons Weekly
HAS OWN WESTERN HOUSE

The oyster indus 'ry in Annapolis is
growing and spreading year by year.
and this year despite drawbacks in
cident to labor conditions due to the
war, the outlook is most promising.
One of the largest oyster packers
and shippers here, if.not the largest is
the firm OF .McNasby & Co. doing bus
mess at Fifth street. Eastport. AL
though established in the oyster bust
ness but twelve years, their business
has grown to great proportions.
Most of their oysters are shipped
west, the bulk of them going to their
own western house.
The McNasby company averages
1000 gallons per week of oysters ship
ped from Annapolis, and this has been
the average since the first of October
The firm employs 30 shuckers, and
pays each man on the average of $2S
per week; the smallest wage Garner
who is a cripple. receives SIG per
week.
There are two gangs of shuckers.
day and night force. All seasons
are alike to the McNasby company,
and warm weather after the oytser
season opens in September makes no
material difference
The oysters handled by the firm
come from the Chesapeake bay. and
are the best The company handles
only local oysters.
The firm has a number OF tongers
employed as well as shuckers and the
average days work of a tonger is
from nine to twenty bushels. The
longing season is from September /
to April 25.
Mr.. William McNasby, senior mem
ber of the firm has associated with
him his son Judsan, recently returned
from Camp Meade, and his son EN-
NETT. in charge of the office.
So far this season the business has
been good, and the outlook for an in
crease is encouraging.

ACADEMY PLANS
BIG FOOTBALL YEAR
Believed That Next Year Will Be
Best IF Proper Schedule
Can Be Secured
GOOD START BEEN MADE

1t is believed here that next year
will be the Naval academy's best in
football if games are secured with a
sufficient number of teams of high
standing to afford real test. Gilmour
Dobie has turned out remarkable
teams during the past two seasons, but
the schedules have been most unin-
spring to the players and unsatisfac-
tory to its friends, 1t is hoped that the
big athletic colleges will look at the
matter in a sportsmanslike and patri-
otic way, and will be willing to make
whatever sacrifice is necessary in or
der, to come to Annapolis. With no
gate receipts, the midshipmep are not
in n position to offer financial induce
ments on any great scale
However, a start has already been
made in arranging schedule. and the
season will open against North Caro-
lima State, on October, fourth. The
season will be one week longer than
usual, as November twenty-ninth will
be the date kept open for the expected
game against the Military academy.
No reason is seen here why the game
cannot be played next season. A spe-
cial effort will be made to arrange
games with at least two more teams of
the highest class.
The losses to the squad on account
of graduation are severe. They in
clude Capt Ingram, Butler, Roberts,
and Coombs, backs, and Scaffe, Arthur,
Dorrx, and Coldwo1l 1iuauaau Rack
field men who will return are Benoist,
Clark, Rodes. Rawlings, Aivord, Orr
and Severn The latter four are mem
bers of the fourth class, and give
promise of developing well next sea-
SON The squad will have Even, who
will probably be captain, on one end,
and is also likely to have Graves, who
was a regular end two seasons ago,
but could not play this season on &C
count of broken bone in his foot.
Larson is available at center. Denfields
at guard, and Moore, King, Murray,
Willkie. Clapp and Lowe for other line
positions.
Dobie is under contract to return as
coach. He came here two years ago
under a contract for one year, and at
the beginning of the season just pass
ed signed a contract for two more
years. His work with the team is
highly appreciated at the Naval acad-
emy, and it is admitted that he has
turned out faster teams, with a greater
variety of effective plays than the
academy ever had.

ACADEMY CLASS THIS
YEAR LARGEST EVER
Nearly Five Hundred Will Grad
uate In June. Next Class
Will Be Larger
COME FROM ALL STATES

The Naval academy class which will
complete its work next June will con-
tain nearly 500 members, more than
twice as many as last years grad
uating class, and larger by sixty-five
per cent than any class which has pre-
ceded it, The class is so large that
its members admit freely that in many
cases they have but slight acquaint
ance with a considerable number of
their classmates. Some years ago, the
whole student body was of a size
which made it possible for each mid
shipman to know every other one.
AS large as this class will be when it
graduates, the class which will fol-
low it Immediately will be much
larger, and so will the other gradual
ing classes for some years to come, as
long as the present method of appoint
ment prevails. The new classes are
now numbering about 1000 members,
and according to usual proportions,
about 700 of these will graduate.
Twenty years ago, the whole student
body did not reach half of this size.
Every state in the union is repre-
sented in the first, or graduating class,
and what has happened in this class
demonstrates what is known to the OBJ
servers of previous classes, that every
section of the nation sends men to the
academy that win honors from their
own classmates and from the officials
of the academy. The member upon
whom honors have fallen in the heavi-
est shower is William A. Ingram, from
Jeffersonville, Ind. For one thing, he
is the 'five-striper," or midshipman
commander of the regiment, the high
est rank to be held by midshipman
Also, he is president of his class, cap
tain of the football team and stroke of
the crew
For some reason, the Pacific coast
figures as the home of the three lead
ing scholars of the class this year
Lloyd harrison, who stood number
one at the last report, is from Oregon
Thomas H. Robbins. Jr, and Wesley
Mel. Hague, two and three, respec-
lively, are both from California. The
next three are from the east, Emmett
|P. Forrestel. New York; William l.
Leahy. Connecticut, and Walter F.
Christmas, Pennsylvania Others well
-up the list are from the Middle West
and south In fact, the leaders in
scholarship, athletics and other phases
of academic life, are well distributed
among the different sections.
