Banner Year for Grid Game

Foot ball, SO far as the independ-
ents were concerned. was never bet
ter. Teams began organizing in Sep
TENDER and before the middle of Oc-
tober there were more than two score
elevens of various classes on the grid
irons. Navy Yard and Red Athletic
Club had their usual well drilled
teams and their battle for the cham
pionship was a worthy exhibition. The
Gunmakers were unable to yvrest the
title from the Rexmen. although they
outplayed their opponents in a game
ending to 7.
About the only other title definitely
decided was that of the 140-npund di-
vision. This went to Mohawk Ath-
letic Club. which clearly demonstrated
it's superiority over Truxton Athletic
Club and Washington Athletic Club,
prominent contenders for the honor
The junior organizations were we'll

the game.
An effort to introduce professional
foot ball met with little success. The
KnickerbockerS gathered a team that
included all-American and all-South
Atlantic college stars and played to
fair-slzed crowds Navy Yard and Rex
were vanquished by the augmented
Knicks. There seems to be little de-

MARYLAND HAS BIG YEAR
Captures Three State Titles, But
High Spot Is Victory Over
Syracuse Gridironers.

COLLEGE PARK, Md, December 25.
With three state championships
earned during. the year. the Univer-
sity of Maryland justly is proud Of its
athletic career in 1920. The College
Parkians pointed the way to other
Maryland institutions in foot ball, base
ball and tennis, and in the first two
sports mentioned made great strides.
+ The most notable achievement was
the gridiron victory over the powerful
Syracuse University eleven, the COM
bination that had bested Washington
and JEFFERSON and Dartmouth and held
pittsburgh to tie score. Rutgers
and Princeton were the only teams
that overcame Maryland in the cam
paign that was closed with a win over
Johns Hopkins in the state titular
struggle.
The nine pressed the gridiron COM
bination for honors. It was one of
the three teams to trounce the brill
liant Georgetown University nine,
winning one of two games with the
Blue and Gray, and was rated among
the leaders in southern base ball. In
Keene. Maryland had a pitcher con-
sidered by coaches of rival colleges as
among the best in the game.
The tennis team easily disposed of

much in track and field sports. Lack

NAVY ATHLETES TO FORE
Academy Has Best Year in Its
History-Crew's Olympic Vic
tory Is Main Feat.

ANNAPOLIS, December 25-During
the year which is closing the Naval
Academy reached the high-wateI
mark in its athletic history. The su-
preme achievement was the victory
of the crew in the Olympics at Ant
werp, to accomplish which it lowered
the world record for the mile and a
quarter by five seconds.
Apart from the wonderful work Of
the crew, Navy defeated the military
Academy in three branches of sport
in which they met-foot ball, base
ball and basket ball. The foot ball
and base ball victories were the sec
ond successive triumphs for the mid
shipmen,- and the basket ball game
was the initial contest of the series
between the two.
In the American Henley at Philadel-
phia the Navy eight won the Childs
cup and the Steward cup. 1t then
won in the Olympic tryouts on Lake
Quinsigamond, and followed by
thrilling victory over the famous
Leander Club of London, at Antwerp.
The academy teams in swimming,
lacrosse, wrestling, boxing, gym
nastics and water polo were I'M
beaten.
The fencing team did not lose a
contest to a college opponent. ana
won the final of the intercollegiate
Association.
The gymnasts were winners OF nrst
place in the Intercollegiate Associa-
ton tournament.
The midshipmen were conceded hrst
place in intercollegiate boxing, and
clearly had the best lacrosse team IN
the country.
The base ball nine won fifteen OF
sixteen games. losing to George1o"n
only. and it's record was at least as
good as that of any other college
team.
