ALL M1DSH.,PMEN
ACTIVE IN SPORTS
Every One of Over 1000 Is
BusiIy Engaged in Some
Branch of Athletics.

ANNAPOLIS, December 20.-Every
one of the more than 1000 midship
men is at work in some branch of
athletics. and l. 500 of these are taking
part in some line in which competi-
tons are held either wi outside
teams or in series among the classes,
battalions and companies- The others
give the required hoes to some
branch of physical training which is
not organized for regular contests.
The academy authorities believe In
ne only physical training, but actual
competitions, as developer OF manly
and soldierly qualities. and the de-
partment of physical training has
never before been So well organized
to carry out the plan. The organiza-
ton is the special work of Lieut.
Commander W. \. Richardson, gym
nasium officer.
The enlargement of schedules in ex-
listing sports. the introduction of new
branches and q liberal spirit on the
part of the authorities which is to
result in the team in each branch
playing away from Annapolis once
during the season, are all clrcum-
stances which tend to increase inter
es; in sports to "A marked degree. 1t
also is probable that the Naval Acad-
envy will meet the Military Academy
in other sports besides foot bail and
base ball. basket bali. fencing and
field and track being the Immediate
prospects, with others in the near
future.
Big Squads in All Branches.
In addition to those engaged in the
regular foot ball game there are good
sized squads in nearly every branch.
The week has seen considerable increase
in the soccer and basket bali squads
. and added interest Coach Taylor has
large enough soccer squad to make
possible the formation of a first and
second squad, each consisting of two
teams. Daily scrinmages are the rule,
and the individual and team work has
improved greatly.
| Though the haskell ball squad has of
! last years regulars only. Capt. Wat
ters, a guard. there are a number of
first squad men with some experience
and some good material from the new
class, 50 there is no encouragement.
Bycrly. Olsen and Burkhalter arc likely
men for forwards. but no center has
appeared to take the place of Deringer.
the regular occupant of that position,
! and Thomas, the first substitute. both
Of whom have graduated.
Midshipmen have no reserve in stat
/ ing that they expect their wrestling
team this year to overwhelm all OPP
position and to demonstrate unques-
, toned superiority to all other college
! teams With John Schultz as coach.
! the Naval Academy has done remark
! able work in the graphing game for
: a number of years, but reached the
high point last season when the team
| won all five of its matches. thanking
two of its opponents and allowing one
bout to each Of the three others. SO
| that of the thirty-five bouts which
composed the five matches the Mid
shipmen won thirty-two. 1t is claimed

LoUe and Intrigue Mingle
in the Story of Kari Muck
DepOrted Orchestral Leader
Authorized By tho Attorney General Of the United States.

Dr. Karl Muck, former director
OF the Boston symphony Orchestra
dearly loved the "limelight." He
liked TO be in the public eye and
persisted in holding this important
position in the American music
world even when public sentiment
was running strong against him. He
-nlsualned all well-meant advice
ana insisted upon following his own
inclinations
several friends of his suggested
10 him that for a time at least he,
withdraw from the public gaze dur
Ing the duration Of the war. They
suggested that he leave Boston and
tne united States and go to Mexico,
mere TO remain until peace waS
declared, when perhaps he might
come back here and once more re-
sumo charge of the orchestra
others did not advise leaving the
country, but suggested that he re-
hhquish leading the orchestra at
pubic concerts. Their idea was
that DR.. Muck should rehearse the
orchestra, but that when the con-
certs were rendered an understudy
should WELD this baton. But-to a..
such suggestionsNhe he turned a deaf
ear.
In spite of the fact that he knew
publ sentiment was strongly
against him, that his movements
were watched and his liberty was
1eopardized, he refused to make
himself inconspicuous. That ne
well knew this is evident from the
contents OF letter written only a
rev days before his arrest. The
letter also expressed his candid
views Of America and Americans.
