Much Fine New Material
BILLY LUSH TO COACH

Basketball will bridge the gap be-
tween football and the winter sports
at the Naval Academy. The midship-
men do not engage in sports at the
Naval Academy merely because they
wish to, but they form part of the
regular training there, and are en-
couraged in every way by the Naval
Academy authorities They believe in
athletics for the exercise ii affords.
the entertainment it gives the mid
shipment and others, most of all, as
valuable adjunct in instilling the mill
tary idea
The effort is made to secure the
participation OF every midshipman in
some sport which leads to competi-
tion among the companies and
classes, or with teams from the out
side. For this reason, nearly every
possible sport is in vogue at the
Academy, an there is no great break
from the beginning of the Academic
year to the end. The last football
game was on November %, and the
basketball season opened yesterday.
Before II ends, in the latter part of
February, gymnastics, swimming,
wrestling and fencing will be under
way, and these will last until base
ball and the other spring sports COM

Other teams which have agreed to
play in Annapolis this season are
Columbia, University of Pennsylvania,

Billy Luh, one of the most experienced
and successful college coaches, who
also handles the baseball squad, will
have charge of basketball Twenty
candidates went to the training table
this week, and there will be additions.
Several good men from last years
squad were taken by graduation, but
a strong team is expected. Capt.
Loves has bad knee and is not GER
tain that he will be able to play. Glass,
of last years team, is rather certain
to be one of the forwards, and Far
well, fourth classman. is showing
great speed and cleverness, and is
likely to make the other. Lewis and
Zander are other possibilities in the
forward position.
Just at present, Derringer, from the
lacrosse squad, is jumping at center,
with Thomas, last years substitute for
the position, a lively competitor. The
guard positions should be we'll cared
for. Bolton and Waters are holding
them down at present, but Roberts,
halfback on the football team and
basketball guard for two seasons, is
to join the squad next week. Another
available man in Blue. guard on the
Princeton five last season. He is a
fourth classman, and just now is be-
ing kept out of the game by boil on

INVENTOR CLAIMS
HIS GUN WILL MAKE
SKODA LOOK PUNY

An inventor. whose name is not d.
vulged. has offered to the War Depart
ment details for the construction of a
subcaliber gun. which he claims will fire
a shell. loaded with 2.50e pounds Of
dynamite. a distance OF los. miles.
1t is said that the Government has had
the matter under consideration for the
past twelve months. The proposed gun.
1t is claimed. will be deadly, whereas.
the gun now being used TO lombard
Paris from a distance Of approximately
seventy-five miles, is reported TO be doing
little damage.
Just when the Government had decided
that. the gun could not be used the Ger
mans began hurting shells from a long
range gun ON Paris. This has caused re-
opening OF the matter, and tests may be
made.
The gun, it is claimed. can be used
on land or on board ship. The projectiles
cin be used in any guns from Il TO II
inches or even larger.
Dispatches today state that the long
range gun that has been used in bonn
harding Paris has proved as great a
mystery TO Germany az 10 the rest OF
the world. Had not the first reports Of
the gun been officially confirmed a Ber-
lin newspaper is quoted as saying il
would have been considered an unusu-
ally heavy war lie" The Berlin press
81 agreed that the gun must be Of very
long bore since the shells travel one and
one-hah kilometers a second.
