In Seine Regatta;
u. S. Grew Light

PARIS, April 26 (By The Associated
Press).-Six crews are entered for the
international rowing regatta on the
Seine Sunday afternoon for the trophy
offered by the Rowing Club Of France
The Australian crew has withdrawn
leaving France, Portugal, Newfound-
land and New Zealand, and also AL
sace-Lorraine and America, to try
their speed from the Pont Royal to the
Alma Bridge, distance of about one
mile and e half
Next to Portugal, the American ex-
pedltionary force was the lightest crew
on the river, but the Americans have
the advantage in height, the average
being six feet, or two inches more than
the New Zealand crew, which comes
next.
The averages from boy to stroke Of
the different crews are as follows:
Americans-Age, 26.5; height, feet;
weight, ITO pounds. France-Age, 3O5;
height, 8 feet 8 inches; weight, III
pounds. Portugal-Age, 25.5; height.
feet 7 inches; weight, 1856 pounds
New Zealand-Age, 25.3; height, s feet
10 inches; weight, 180 pounds. New
foundland--Age, 26; height, feet 9
inches; weight, TT pounds.
1t has been decided to effect stand
ing start instead of the customary
flying start. The Seine is running
quite high and the tide is very strong
and it is expected that the mile and
a half will be covered in record time.
France, Portugal and Newfoundland
will dispute the first heat at 2:15;
New Zealand, Alsace- Lorraine and

tons, If few changes in conditions
can be accomplished.
Every member of the navy contingent
Ia glad thatthe crew will have tho op-
portunity Of contcsting against strong
college eights and on somo other
course than that at Annapolis. The
victories over Pennsylvania, Harvard
and Princeton have made everybody
satisfaction here over the fact that
the crew has this year the opportunity
of demonstrating absolutely that it is
the best college rowing aggregation In
tho country.
1t is fully recognized that the ath-
letic position of the Naval Academy
depends upon the standing Of It's foot
ball team, and that standing cannot be
obtained at least so as to be recog
nzed, unless the midshipmen contest
against soma Of the big college teams
each season. There is no prospect of
an Improvement of the schedule for
the coming scason, but steps are al
ready being taken looking to the play
ing of important games, besides that
against the Military Academy team in
1920.
For several years service people have
felt that the best tenms In tho country

were at West Point and Annapolis, and
that the game between the two actually
settled college supremacy. There was
no general recognition of this, however
al all of the games were played on the
home grounds OF the service teams.
There are strong hopes that this con-
ditlon will be mended through an ar
rangement which probably win be made
next year
Many people think that there Ia no
eaaental reason why the midahlpmen
sheuld not no allowed to play q fair
number of gamea away from their own
grounds IN each branch Of anorta. So
acute has been tho difficulty In getting
worth while gamos Of football In ro-
cont years that pcrmission was granted
for tho midshipmen to play away from
their own grounds IN ono game dur
Ing the season. A game was played at
Philadelphia against tho University of
Pennsylvania, and then the privilege
was withdraw when the United States
entered tho war.
Now an effort will be made to have
the privilege renewed and two big col
lege teams will be asked to enter into
an arrangement with the Naval Acad-
emy by which they will alternate in
games at Annapolis and on their own
campuses. This would give the midship-
men games against two big college
teams each year. besides West Point
and the local games which could be
secured. II such permission were ex-
tended to the teams in other sports
large part of the difficulties of academy
athletics would bo overcome.
The effect Of the increased number
Of midshipmen has already been seen
and the showing of the academy in
athletics during last winter and the
present spring has been remarkable.
Tho basketball. wrestling, gymnastic
and soccer teams went through Il sea-
son without a defeat, most Of them
meeting the strongest teams Of the
East in their branch.
