Usher in Season.

In less than two weeks the 1919
local golf season will be under way,
invitations having already been issued
by the Washington Golf and Country
Club for its annual tournament to
be held on May !, and 3. This
event will usher in what will no
doubt be one of the greatest seasons
the game has ever had, as, on ac-
count of the war, practically an
tournament play was abandoned while
the big game" was on. and 1t is be-
lieved that those who have been
forced to forswear the royal and
ancient game will make up for lost
time now that II with other sports
has been restored to the calendar.
This years tourney provides for
an eighteen-hole qualification round
with four sixteens to qualify, the
usual prizes to the low medalist.
for best net and gross counts in
the handicap event. and to the win
ners and runners-up in all six
teens. In addition, the tourna-
ment committee has announced that
special prize will be given but
that no information regarding ii
will be given out until the OPEN
ing day of the tournament.
The green committee has gotten
the course in. excellent shape and

count of to 2. 1t was Navy's first
defeat of the season.
The victory was registered largely
through the effective twirling of

six scattered hits, and retired as
many batsmen on strikes. The Navy
twirlers also showed good form, ex-
cept in the ninth frame when the

NAVY CREWS IN
DUAL VICTORY
Varsity and Freshmen Eight
Win from Harvard and
Princeton.

Annapolis. Nd. April 1s.-Row-
ing in splendid form all the way.
the varsity and freshmen eight
cared shell crews of the Naval
Academy swept Severn River today
in the two triangular races with
the crews of Harvard and Prince
ton as the other contenders. and
thereby virtually established them
selves on a pinnacle of supremacy
of collegiate rowing for the sea-
son.
The defeat of the Harvard vars
ity eight was not only the worst
that a Crimson crew has ever sus-
tained in the history of rowing,
but likewise IT was probably the
heaviest defeat that one crew has
ever inflicted upon another in the
aquatic sport.
The Middle varsity was nearly four
teen lengths to the good Of the Grim
son lads when their shell shot across
the finish line. and the Princeton boat
was nearly four lengths behind Har-
vard. Scarcely less glorious was the
victory that was hung up by the Navy
plebes. In the freshmen event, as they
finished eight lengths in the lead Of
Harvard. while the Tigers were cred
tied with being a length behind the
C1msons. according to the official
time.
The races were rowed over a course
OF mile and seven-eighths. instead
or the customary Henley distance of
a mile and five-sixteenths. This was
the result OF mutual agreement be-
tween the contending crews. The
time OF the rival eights at the finish
WAS as follows:
varsity race. Navy. 1851 As; Har-
ward, 1881; Princeton. 11:4I. Fresh
men. race navy plebs, 1924; Har-
Vafd. ll:49: Princeton. 1854.
Glancing at the times, one will
note that the Navy plebe crew was
really better than the Harvard var
sity' as they covered the course
seven seconds faster
The time of the races would have
been much faster, except for the
fact that they were rowed under
adverse conditions. The northwest
winds that prevailed during the
morning shifted around TO the
Southwest shortly before the start
of the contests which placed both
of the elements against the oars
men.
1t was a case OF tide and wind to-
gether II they had been contrary
there would have been n very chorpy
sea- Circumstances attending the races
were strikinS!y similar, particularly
because of the fact that the sailor
lads got the jump on their opponents,
and established themselves in a lea
which they steadily increa-1sd over
the course. Also the rival crews rowed
practically the same stroke. varying
from 50 TO IS and 3S although toward
the end the Navy varsity hit II I'D at
40 clip. which was largely responsi-
bile for their walking away froIl :he
Crimsons in the manner in which they
did.
