SPORTS A-PLENTY
At ACADEMY TODAY
Swimming, Gymnastics, Fenc-
ing This Afternoon; Boxing,
Wrestling Tonight

Today is the last big day of the
present season in winter sports at the
Naval Academy, so far as number of
events is concerned. for a number Of
highly interesting events on the differ
ent schedules are still to be contested
The Midshipmen are having contests
in swimming, gymnastics and fencing
this afternoon and boxing and wrest-
ling bouts will take place tonight.
Teams from Massachusetts Tech
will oppose the Navy in swimming and
gymnastics. Tech has become quite
ambitious in sports and meets the
Midshipmen in quite number of
lines, including boxing. wrestling, boat
racing ana fencing. as well as swim
ming and gymnastics. Up 10 the pres
ent it has never won a contest against
the Navy, but shows improved form
with each year The other afternoon
event is the fencing against Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania.
Boxing against Pennsylvania State
and wrestling against the University
of West Virginia are the athletic at
fractions for the evening, both having
elements of special interest.
In spite of reports TO the contrary,
the boxers of the Naval and Military
Academies have little chance to meet
this year, but the match between the
Naval Academy and Penn State will
afford some basis of comparison. State
has always given the Midshipmen a
hard fight, but its team lost to West
Point this year by six bouts to one.
Unless the Naval Academy equals the
fine record of the Army it will have
to be rated a grade below them, and
this will be extremely bitter 10 the
Navy contingent.
West Virginia. although badly beat
en- in wrestling by the Middies last
year. has improved greatly and be-
lieves it has an even chance against
the Midshipmen.

Ks concluding argument Secretary
Aguirre- stated that the, government
Owns 55 per cent. of the railway stock

College, yesterday afternoon, the bas-
ketball game between teams of ST.
Johns and Washington Colleges, sche-
duled to be played in the college gym
nasium last night, was caleld off. The
game was the last of the season on
the schedule OF both teams, and as its
result would have no bearing on the
State title. owing TO st. Johns being
out of the running, it is unlikely that
il will be played at future date.

SEVERN RIVER BRIDGE
WORK NOW UNDER WAY
Ice In Bay, However, Has Caused
Delay In Arrival Of
Equipment
SLOWLY UNTIL APRIL

While the marine construction work
on the proposed Severn river bridge
will not get under full way before
April /, the first actual work on the
construction was begun this week by
T. l.. Eyre. the Philadelphian who
holds the contract
The contractors have had estab-
lished a resident office and head
quarters here for some time, but, ow-
ing 10 the ice jams in the Chesapeake
and Delaware Canal and the upper
section of the bay, there was delay in
getting the pile drivers here The pile
drivers now are being set up and test
piles will be driven near the shore at
once.
According to John n. Mackall.
chairman of the State Roads Commits
sion. the contractors will go slow with
the marine work until April. He
thinks March might bring some siff
winds and storms which would~eause
damage If the pile drivers were being
operated in midstream. Mr.. Mackall
believes the contractor will go along
with the pile tests close to the shore
until April and then will begin opera
ti0n i'm full blast
No Time Lost, He Says
The Commissioner pointed out that
while there was little delay in get
ting the marine equipment to the
scene of the contract, there had been
practically no time lost. He pointed
out that Mr.. Eyre had lost no time in
cutting and preparing piles in South
ern lumber camps. One large raft of
piles has already reached Annapolis,
he said.
II am we'll satisfied with the prog
ress of the contract" said Mr.. Mack
all. particularly in view of the very
bad weather we have had. 1t was not
expected that much of the work would
be done before the spring. feel con-
fident, however that the bridge will be
ready for traffic within the allotted
time"
Mr.. Eyre's bid was $536,467 on the
structure without certain appurten-
ances. including bascule span. light
ing. operators houses and approaches.
The total cost of the bridge will be
$744,000.

PEAhlNts, as we propose to, of picnics
A they are peculiarly happy topic for dis
~ cussion on this warm midsummer Morn
ing. To begin with, they are timely
Now is the season of picnics We have, mos
Of US. just been on a picnic or are about to &C
on one Secondly, the subject is a happy one
because it is so controversial. Why ! know
not, but in regard to picnics one is either pro
CIR contra, and not calmly or tolerably so, but
with passion.
BY nature am pro-picnfc. I was brought
up among hard-boiled eggs Il refer to the
genuine article not to members of my family.)
My father was pro-picnic before me. So, doubt
less, was my grandfather, though it was not
my good fortune to go on any picnics with him.
In fact, my paternal grandfather died before
my father was born, which always used to puz-
zle my inquiring mind. 1t didn't seem bio
logically proper, and even after l had been
convinced on this scsre the early ancestor re-
mained a vague, mythlike personality How
ever, / am sure that he dotted on picnics. In
even earlier generation my father used to
assure me that his grandfather. my great
grandfather, once took him on picnic consist
ing of visit to Uncle Williams grave in
Noauk So, as you see, picnic family.
Cold coffee may be said to run in my veins
On my mothers side the bias was not so
clearly defined, but her spirit has ever been
sequiescent and cheerfully, even vigorously, CO.
operative. I can recall no more inspiring pic
ture of zeal than that of my mother on the
morning of great family picnic, her capable
hands busy with score of simultaneous tasks
from the simple one of trimming the crust
selvage off the sandwiches to the much more
complicated manufacture of mayonnaise
dressing that would stand the humping of
twelve country miles without returning weak
ly to its component parts.
I am convinced that where, in a marriage
there is on the part Of husband or a wife
a pro-picnic tendency it will in the end con-
quer all things. The weaker one eventually
will be pushed to the wall, or the grove or the
lake. The pro-picnic impulse is the dominant
one in cases of this sort.
On the other hand, concede the existence
Of the great anti-picnic party. 1t is a healthy
opposition, albeit in the minority. Their argu-
nnents at times bear the appearance of cogency
and reasonableness. In the delightful seashore
colony where l work Sundays my neighbor is
q rock-picked anti-picnicker His remarks on
the subject are typical Of his party. They con-

into court, and it wasn't addressed to us, any

memories those which, at the time, were the
most distressing? Is not the recalling of such
memories a series Of past catastrophes, item
lied accidents hitched to common stem? "Do
you remember" Do you remember how Lulu
forgot the salad? And how Fred spilled the
cocktails? And how the Morrises broke their
front spring? Oh, yes! We remember all those
eXcruciating details. But do you remember
how Walter slipped on the bank and actually
fell into the lake? How we howled over this
sidespitting climaxl And the most amazing
part of it is that dear Walter nearly drowned
and looked killing}y funny while he was
about it.
Isn't it evident from all this that the anti
picnickers are hopelessly astray? When we
talk over our past picnics, as we often do, my
neighbor is entirely out of the conversation

tribution? Nothing ever happened in his cool

safely proceed to consideration of few
contributory elements of picnics, accessory
facts which my neighbor calls 'the awful de-
tails"
The first step in picnicking, as in house
building, is the selection Of site. At the out
set it is we'll to remember that the perfect To-
cation is entirely imaginary. Within fifteen
mile radius of my summer habitat can check
off dozen or more possible rendezvous. Latti-

by Polacks, who, with their young, intently in
