PROSPECTS BRIGHT
FOR NAVY CREWS
Coach Glendon Elated With
Conditions Prevailing at
Annapolis.
HAS STRONG SCHEDULE

ANNAPOLIS, March 2,.-Not since
Richard Glendon became coach OF the
crews at the Naval Academy sixteen
years ago has the rowing situation here
appeared so favorable as at present.
With the strongest schedule the crews
have ever had, a good detachment OF
veterans and plenty OF powerful new ma
lterial and a liberal attitude toward the
isport on the part OF the officials the
prospects OF a record season are ex-
tremely bright.
Even the weather Is propitious and
Glendon got his crew on the water early,
having them out many more times than
he had UP to this time In any other year
Every afternoon from six to eight crews
are able to get on the water. On Wednes-
days, Thursdays and Saturdays as much
OF the afternoon as Is wanted Is avail
able. and on the other week days the
authorities excuse the oarsmen from sup
per formation.
The leading crews are now made up
as follows:
FYrst-Bow. Graf: ?, Gross: 3. wird-
man: 4. Skinner: S. Ballreich 6. Rep
plier: Z, Harris: stroke Ingram; cox
swain. Crawford.
Second-Bow, Tower; 2, Arthur; g.
ILitchfield 4. Reisenger; 8. Jacomini; 6,
Sterling; Z, Kinney: stroke. Van Buren
coxswain. Dana.
Fourth Class--Bew. Ballliere: 2, Daw-
son: 8. Jordan; 4. Lee; 5. Sanborn G.
johnson: 7, Gallagher: stroke, Keppel
coxswain, d'Oyley.
The 150-pound crew. booked to enter
the event in the Henley Regatta. has not
been formed yet. but there will be N.
trouble in picking II from the several
Junior crews which are on the water
daily.
Season Begins April II.
The local racing season will open on
April IL, when the University of Penn
sylvania will bring its crews here. Penn
sylvania and the Naval Academy rowed
twice last year. each winning once. 50
the rivalry this year Is intense. Penn
sylvania Is understood to have seven
OF last years veterans, while the Naval
Academy has flve. Penn will also bring
its second and freshman crews.
April 10 should be the biggest rowing
day In local history, with Princeton and
| Harvard az the opponents of the Naval
| Academy. Many think this will be the
most interesting race OF the college sea-
! son. The contest w6s f-sr~se neduled be-
tween Princeton and the Naval Acad-
envy, and Harvards request to be al
lowed to enter was granted with pleas
ure. The course will be one mile and
seven-eighths in length and a splendid
course on the Severn River is available.
Princeton will bring Its freshman
crew as well as its varsity and has
been asked to bring n second crew also.
Harvard has offered to bring Its varsity
only, but has been asked to bring the
other two crews II practicable and is
considering the matter.
Syracuse, with varsity only, will row
the Midshipmen on May 8. Races be-
tween the Naval Academy and Syracuse
are always keenly contested. particu-
larry as "Old Man" Ten Eyck coached
, the Mldshipmen~ before going to SYRIA
! cuse and likes nothing better than taking
scalp away from Annapolis. Yale is
| still a possibility as n rowing opponent
of the Navy this year and may be ad-
mitted to this race or given a later date.
The Naval Academy. with four crews.
| Will be as well represented as any In
| stitution In the regatta of the American
Rowing Association, taking place at
Philadelphia on May 80. First. second,
fourth class and SPECIAL $50 pound crews
will be taken. 4 contest away from
| home IL n rare thing In any line OF
| sport for an Academy team, so the
| me nIbers OF the rowing squad are ex-
erting every effort 10 make the crew
and get a chance 10 take In the Phlla-
delphia trip.
