VAGABONDS TO PLAY
WASHINGTON QU|NT

The crack basketball team of the
Vagabond Club, of this city, which
soon will be disbanded for the season,
has arranged a game with the strong
five known as the Congress Heights
Yankees, of Washington. to be played
in Annapolis on Thursday evening.
The yankees" are rated among the
best in the National Capital, and the
setto with the "Vags" should there
fore be a lively one.
All hope of the Vagabonds getting
another game with the st. Andrews
Athletic Association, Of Baltimore,
last years State champions, has been
abandoned, so friends of the local or
ganization are claiming the 'titular
honor this year. The teams have met
twice during the last several weeks
and each emerged with a victory by a
close margin. 1t was hoped to stage
the rubber" game in the Fifth Regi-
ment armory, Baltimore. but the Vaga-
bonds have received word that the
Shamrocks will not play any more
games outside of the Baltimore league
schedule this season.

-Rear-Admiral Wilson, Superin-
tendent Of the Naval Academy,
told the House Naval Committee
today that all Of the 54l members
of the first class. TO be graduated
in Iune from the Naval Academy,
should be commissioned.
In advocating this decision, the
Admiral declared a speedy decision

cause Of the uncertainty among the
midshipmen as to their future and
the effect on morale by reason OF
agitation of the question.
Admiral Wilson also asserted that
all midshipmen now at the Academy.

sisting that no cut in future enroll
ment should affect any class prior to

to become a part of the Navy should
be commissioned" said Admiral VIII
son. referring TO the first-year class.
Chairman Butler interrupted to say
that there would be the same problem
next year as this.
Yes. but you have got year to de-
eide" the Admiral replied.
In year everything might be
changed and everybody might be hol-
lering for big navy

/ the Academy get through. If had the
power to pick the best men from this
class 10 be graduated and the right to

/ Asked about reports that more than
/ 100 members of the first class had
been writing to business concerns
concerning the chance of obtaining
employment in the event they were
not commissioned Admiral Wilson
said he had not been advised but that
it probably was true.
Many companies, including the Ann
orican Telephone and Telegraph Co,
and the National Cash Register Com
pany. he said. had written him asking
about members of this years class
who might be willing to take positions
with these concerns.
Discussing reductions to be made in
the number Of men TO be enrolled here
after, Admiral Wilson said. If the fig
ures were reduced. he thought the
