WIN ALL EVENTS
In DUAL MEETS
Brilliant Work Done by
Midshipmen Against
Strong Opponents.

spike" Webbs boxers opened
their schedule Of contests by put
ting IL all over the mittmen of Car
negie Technical Institute, Of Pitts
ourgh, taking all six Of the bouts
on the card.
The wrestlers scored a decisive
triumph over the grappIers Of the
University Of Pennsylvania The
varsity basketball team defeated
the Collegian All Stars, of Balti-
more, after a hard night, 81 to 81.
The swimming team defeated Co.
Lumoia University, of New York, 90
to IL points. The Middies even man
aged to win q water polo contest
from the same institution, IL to 10
points, and while all this was going
on, the Navy swordsmen flashed
blades with the experts of the
French Young Mems Christian As
ISOLATION, of New York, winning l6
out Of q bouts. The Navy plebes,
or fourth class midshipmen, trim
med the Eve OF the Central High
School, OF Washington, in a we'll
played game, 80 to "a.
Win All Boxing Bouts.
There were six boxing bouts Of
three three-minute rounds. The
Naval lads got four decisions on
points; one was awarded after the
Tech entry's left arm was disabled
by fall, and in the 160-pound bout
the Tech representative was COM
pletely outclassed, and the lighting
was halted by the referee, Billy Ro-
cap, Of Philadelphia, in the second
round under the circumstances.
The bouts did not develop much
real lighting, nor was there any
rcUghing IL, and in any event, ring
contests here are governed by
stringent rules as a precaution
against participants being badly
used up. The decisions rendered
were popular, except that some
question was raised in the 145-
pound event which was awarded to
Miller, one of Nays veterans Of
last year. Miller did not show the
. class he exhibited last year, and
though he forced the fighting most
Of the time against Campbell, Of
Tech, the latter won much favUI
among the gallery by his generally
good defense and other ring work.
The bout between WaggOner ana
Carfacna at lis pounds, was on tne
whole, the liveliest of all. The lit
tie middle, who was champion in his
class last year, was the aggressor
most Of the time, and easily was en-
titled to the decision. Martin, of
Tech, in the l5-pound event, started
as though he might deliver the
goods in his bout with Sebald, but
he fell to the floor, not the result of
a severe blow, and in the second
instance he strained the leaders of
his left arm, and the decision went
to the Navy man. Brumbaugh, of
Tech. was completely outclsssed by
Zotti in the 16O-pound bout.
Navy Quintet Cops.
The Collegian All Stars, of Balti-
more. furnished the Naval lads
stubborn opposition in the basket
ball game, much sitter, in fact than
Billy Lush, their mentor, had an
ticipated, and because of this, sec
ond and third string men were not
rushed in to get a limbering up as
has marked other games of the sea
son. Though at no stage OF the bat
tie were the Baltimoreans ahead il
the scoring, yet they kept the Mid
dies going all the while, and twice
approached within four points oi
tieing the score. The FIRST half ended
with that difference in the scoring
the figures reading Navy, 21: Col
tie second period had elapsed the
score stood 26 to %, fayOring tht
Navy. The Middies got as much II
a nine-point lead, but they wer,
forced to the limit at every stag,
OF play, the visitors in the final min
utes cutting this down to six points
The visitors apparently had per
fected an excellent defense agains
Mckee, the Navy star, for it wal
not until the second half was vel
under way, that he managed Il
shoot a basket from the court. HI

work in throwing from the fou

Penn wrestlers Outelassed.
Pennsylvania's wrestlers, con
uuerors of the University of Yves
virginia, were counted to make
much better showing against tn
Middies than they did. The Middle
rolled up 81 points as the result 0
three falls, which counted nv
. points each, and three decisions, a
four points each. Ashby. of Penn
wrestling in the 15s-pound class
saved his team from a whitewas
by gaining the decision over Yelver
ton, after 9 minutes of gruelun
work: but decidedly the best bou
of the meet was that in the IFS
pound event between Wiedorn, mem
Der Of the Navy football team an
the world champion eight-oare
crew, and Strife. In weight an
general physique there could nc
have been two better matched con
tenders, and both were strong an
aggressive. It was a nip-and-tuc
battle between them during the reg
MAR nine-mirute period and result
ed in a draw, which called for a
extra period Of minutes of wres
tIing. The Navy man finally got I'll
decision by 4 narrow margin. Swi
cart, the aggressive Navy captain
who wrestIes in the 1851 pound clas
again gained a fall. Using the dou
bIe arrnlock he pinned the shoulder
