|ONLY ONE VETERAN
LOST TO NAVY CREW
That Fact and Early Outdoor
Start Render Prospects
Decidedly Bright.

Special Dispatch to THE NEW YoRK HEaALD.
ANNAPOLIS, March 1s.-Getting on
the water at an earlier date than usual,
the Navy Academy crews have been
on most Of the afternoons II has been
possible to work either on the open
river or the small creek which is just
beside the boathouse. During the pres
ent week practice has been about
equally divided between the two places.
Glendon's charges have something Of
an advantage over their rivals this
year. Besides being the most south
eriy located of all the rowing colleges
in the East, giving generally slight
advantage in open air work, the Acad-
envy had the smallest losses by gradua-
ton of any of the big crews. Only
one man. Moore. captain and No g.,
completed his course. and there were
any number of excellent oarsmen ready
to step into his place. However, Hig-
gins has been rowing regularly since
early in the season and probably will
keep his place in the varsity boat.
The crew, as now boated. with pres

Weight Is There.
1t will be noted that there is plenty
OF weight in the second boat, and this
gives much satisfaction to the rowing
management at Annapolis, so this crew
is expected to from the bulk of the
varsity next year. augmented by the
best men in the present plebe crew.
As a matter of fact. Boles is the
only varsity man who has another
year Of rowing. while Wanselow Is the
only second crew man who will grad
uate.
Witlp the entry of the Naval Academy
crew at Poughkeepsie still uncertain.
the balance of the schedule is fixed with
fair definiteness. as follows: April 90.
Massachusetts Tech (varsity). at An
napolis; May 6. varsity and plebes
against Harvard and Princeton at
Cambridge: May IS. plebes against
Washington High School at An
napolis May 20. varsity and plebes
against Syracuse. at Annapolis; May 81.
varsity, second and plebe crews in
American Henleys at Philadelphia.
The entry at Poughkeepsie probably
will depend upon whether or not mem
bers of the first class are commissioned
after graduation in June. While gradu-
ates, whether they stay in the Navy or
not. are eligible to row in the big event.
it Is probable that there will be some
members of the academy crew who will
not be able to remain in this section II
they are to sever their connection with
the service. Therefore the matter is
being neld in allegiance until the future
of the graduates Is settled.
The present makeup of the plebe crew.

squad next week. Powell. Schell and
Pynne. powerful fellows who started
with the first plebe crew, have been row.

dications are that some or all of them
soon will be back with the regulars.
