The boy is blind. The war did

largest rowing party which ever rep
resented the Naval Academy in any
event will leave Annapolis next
Thursday 70 rthe Henley races at
Philadelphia. The academy will send
its varsity. second. third and plebe
crews.
In view of the fact that seven OF
the eight varsity oarsmen graduate In
June, the local officials are anxious to
have as many as possible of the Junior
oarsmen to have actual racing expert
ence. In the varsity event. the Naval
Academy is likely to meet only the
University of Pennsylvania While a
representative Pennsylvania crew was
defeated by Princeton and Columbia
in tho Child's cup race, the Midship-
men will meet an undefeated eight,
as the crew which won from Harvard
and Yale was not selected for the
Childs cup race.
Members OF tho Naval Aca denny crew
stated after the race with Syracuse
Saturday that the latter had put up
q splendid race and that they had to
row much harder to win than against
Princeton. The Navy looks to Cor

Georgetown has no contest this
week, its remaining battles being
80. with Boston College in the Hub
ON June l, and with Holy Cross at
Worcester on June 2. Georgetown so
far has not been beaten by a college
team, its only setback being the 5-3
defeat inflicted by the Nationals.
Just how much track and field ath-
ietics in the south Atlantic section
have progressed may be realized by a
consideration of one or two Of the
events run recently in the champion
ship meet at Charlottesville. In the
broad jump, for instance, the record
three years ago was twenty-one feet
and some inches, yet in the meet last
week. when six men were qualifying for
the final, a man who jumped twenty
two feet one inch did not qualify. Three
years ago $50 feet was an exceptionally
long throw for the javelin. yet at Char
lottesville a throw of well over $50 feet
got fifth place. Barker of Virginia prior
to last week was the only man who had
ever put the shot more than forty feet
yet two men last Saturday sent the
brass sphere more than forty-three feet.
Only three times in the history of the
South Atlantic /. A. A. championships.
prior to last Saturday, had the 100-yard
dash been done in ten seconds, yet two
men then covered the distance in that
ngure IN separate heatS OF the trlals
To run a quarter-mile in ffty-one sec
onds has been an exceptional feat for
south Atlantic men, but there were five
men in the $40 in the meet at Virginia
who could do better than that-Wood-
ward of V. P. l., Bohannon and Baker
of Virginia, Kinally of Georgetown, and
Hurlihy of Georgetown. And what was
true Of the events mentioned also held
good for most Of the other competitions.
In every event were entered more
capable athletes than have ever been
known IN any two or three meets
CONT bined. and the south Atlantic sec
ton never experienced such brilliant
competition or such excellent per
formances as took place on the Wiz
ginia track last week.
Among the northern college base
ball teams are four or five men who
stand out head and shoulders above
all others At Harvard there is Con-
lin. shortstop. who is brilliant in
everything that goes to make good
man; at Holy Cross are Gagnon and
Mcclure, at short and second; at Yale
is Aldrich, shortstop: at Lafayette is
Gazella, at third. and at the Army is
Storck, another third sacker. A com
petent big league scout, who recently
saw all these teams in action, says
that these men are among the most
competent college players he has seen
in recent years, and that four OF them.
