ACADEMY ATHLETES
|. HAVE RECORD YEAR
Middies Make Probably Best
General Showing of Any
College in Sports.

ANNAPOLIS, June due chiefly
to the fine organization of athletics by
which the most is made of the avail
able material, and to the assembly OF
an exceptional staff of coaches, the
Naval Academy has completed the best
year it has ever had in sports, and
probably has the best general record
of any college for the whole year.
The Naval Academy engages in fif-
teen sports. embracing all of those in
which the colleges in general partici-
pate. This year they won a decisive
majority in every branch. and went
through six of them without meeting
defeat. In four. 1t least, they are ad-
mittedly at the top of the list with a
good chance for premier honors in two
others. In all, the Naval Academy
teams won ninety-four contests and
lost but thirteen.
The great accomplishments of the
year were the defeat of its great rivals,
the Military Academy. in foot ball,
basket ball and base ball; the victories
iii the finals of the Intercollegiate
Gymnastic Association and the Inter
collegiate Fencing Association. the
winning of undoubted first honors in
boxing and lacrosse, probable first hon
ors in rowing and as good position
IN pase Dali as any other college.
Accomplishments Of Crew.
The Naval Academy crew defeated
Harvard and Columbia on local
waters. but lost to Syracuse by seven
feet in two miles. In the Henley
event, at Philadelphia, it defeated
Syracuse. taking first place. 1t is
now preparing to enter the Olympic
elimination races on Lake Quinsiga-
mond, Mass. on July "a. and, if sue
cessful, will represent the United
States in the Olympic games at Ant
werp.
The record of the Navy team on the
diamond this year entities it to high
consideration. 1t won fourteen games
and was defeated by Georgetown only.
The latter team lost a game to Mary
land State. which the Navy nine de
feated, and lost games to three other
teams. The mines defeated by the
Midshipmen include Harvard, Penn
sylvania State, Princeton and Boston
College.
Every branch of sport a the acad-
envy now is coached by professional.
Richard Glendon is the veteran, with
eighteen consecutive years of handl-
ing the oarsmen. George Findlayson
coaches the lacrosse and in ten sea-
sons mas made a wonderful record,
not losing game in the last four
