NAVAL CAGE MEN
SHOW FINE POINTS
Midshipmen Basketballers Start
Season BY Winning From
City College. SO To 5
MANY GREEN PLAYERS

Showing speed and eyes for the goal
which give promise of one of the best
fives in years, the Naval Academy
hasketballers started their season Sat
urday afternoon by winning from Bal
timore City College, 90 to 5. As the
team went on the floor. there was not
veteran of last year on it, though
Capt Loves, with a metal brace pro-
tecting his strained knee. played about
three minutes at the close and shot
just three goals from the floor.
Oddly enough. the visitors scored
first, a single tally from the foul line
by Baumgarten. The only other score
during the half was a rather clancy
long shot by Bloom. so that three
points were scored when the middle
distance was reached. Just after the
visitors scored, Derringer netted two
in rapid succession, and then Farwell,
the fast Plebe, Gagged the ball. All the
midshipmen scored during the half
netting total of 35 points. Derringer
scored seven times, and his improve
ment over last season, when he was
in only few games, was very notable.
In the second half. the visitors
made even a poorer showing, their to-
al being made up of two successes
! from the foul-line. The midshipmen
came within one point of duplicating
their first innings score. Farwell and
Lewis were the big score-makers,
while Derringer relaxed some. How
ever, at the middle point of the half.
an entirely new team came on the floor
Glass and Olsen, forwards; Thomas.
center; Bailliere and Couble, guards.
This did not seem to be much of a
scoring combination. and Loves and
Burkhalter took the forward positions
towards the close of the game.
On the whole, the showing of the
midshipmen was really remarkable,
considering the fact that Coach Lush
has rather a green aggregation. He
has not yet been able to muster his
full strength. Capt Loves has a de-
cidedly bad knee, and it is a question
whether he can keep in the game, He
played for only few minutes Satur-
day. Tanner is a good substitute for
ward, who has not gone to the train
ing table as yet Roberts, of football
fame, and a basketball guard last sea-
son. will start with the squad today,
while Blue. fourth classman. and a
guard on the Princeton quint last sea-
son, has boil on his knee which keeps
him out. However, Bolton and Wat
ters played the defense positions in
fine shape Saturday. and will be hard
to displace.

Naval Academy-Farwell, left for
ward; Lewis, right forward; Derring-
