M||DD|ES SHOW
TRACK SPIRIT
Efforts to Develop Strong Team
Reflected in Recent Good
Showing.
BY HUGH r. RILEY.

ANNAPOLIS, April 20.-More
than the usual effort is being made
to develop q good field and track
team at the Naval Academy this
year and the showing of the mid
shipmen in the meet of Saturday.
when they more than doubled the
combined scores of Delaware Col
lege and Johns Hopkins, indicated
that considerable success is being
attained. The team is well balanced,
being strong in every department
except the sprints, in which only
moderate ability has been shown.
Today the Naval Academy will en-
tertsin teams of Delaware and Hop
kins in a medley race There will he
four runners each, the distances be-
ing the quarter, half. three-quarter
and mile. 1T will be the first event OF
this kind ever contested at the Acad-
en1y, and is awaited with interest.
Tho Academy runners will be :Quar-
ter. Dell or Mckee; half. Moncewicz
(eaptain); three-quarters, Rodgers;
mile, Curtiss.
PENN RELAYS NEXT.
The next event will be the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania relays, to take
The Naval Academy will have en-
tries for the two-mile relay. the med
ley relay, the pentathlon. the discus,
and, probably, the javelin.
The medley will probably be run
BY the Same men booked for the Della
ware-Hopkins race Wednesday. In
the two-mile will be Helm or Shep-
herd. Rodgers, Mopcewicz ana Curtis
Clapp will enter the pentathlon ara
discus events, and Dickinson is likely
to be taken to hurl the javelin.
The next general meet will be
against University Of Virginia. at An
napoiis. on May Z. Virginia met the
Naval Academy In the first meet here
last season and won by a small mar
gin. Comparative scores against
Delaware Indicate that the teams are
Of about equal strength this year,
and every effort will be made to pull
the Navy team into shape to reverse
the result OF last year. Pittsburgh
and Carnegie Tech. on May IA and 15.
respectively, completed the Naval
Academy schedule in this limo.
ACADEMY STUNNED.
Il Is regretted that the Academy
has no team OF the highest class in
this branch this season. Harvard
was booked to come here April %,
but decided to change its plans.
Boston College was substituted. but
also decided against the trip. The
success of the Naval Academy In
field and track events has only been
moderate, and the greatest effort is
being made this year to raise the
standard. Comdr. E. d. Washburn. a
crack sprinter when a midshipman.
Is supervising the work. while the
direct coaching Is being done by
Louis II. Mang, assisted by Spike
webb. the boxing coach.
-Four big class squads are also at
work. each under a competent coach.
This will in a large measure supply
the withdrawal OF so many athletes
expected to return next year, but
who will be taken away by the
graduation OF the Second class before
the reEulr time. In fact. class ath-
letics have been conducted on a
large scale this year in many lines,
and ii Is fortunate In view of the
loss to nearly every branch by the
unexpected early graduation of the
Second class.

MOVED PAR!SIiNS TO fRENZY
Proposal to Slightly increase Prevail
ing Height Of Buildings Denounced
as Idea Of VandaI.

An outburst Of Indignation greeted
the recent proposal Of NJ. Frantz-Jour'
daip, which, to relieve the housing
shortage in Paris, would authorize the
owners of buildings on avenues having
a minimum of 20 meters to add an
other floor. This would mean that the
Paris population would at once and at
comparatively low cost obtain fifteen
thousand new places Of abode-a safe
estimate, with reduction OF ~ per
cent in cost, since the existing ROOFS
and supporting construction could still
be used, and the purchase of building
lots, costs of excavating foundations
etc., demanded by the most unpreten-
tious Of new houses, would be avoided,

The recent census showed US that an
