In most Of the other branches th.
Naval Academy has had longer experi-
ence. but such has been the recent suc-
cess Of the Military Academy along
several lines that /. il not st all m
likely tina. matches VIII be scheduled
for next year. Wrestling. boxing and
swimming are the lines IN which both
have shown much strength.
Energetic efforts on tne part os the
boxing management a. the Naval Acad-
emy have failed 10 produce az la-rs

has bean postponed until February q,
when the midshipmen meet the nit

this match and those with Penn STATE
on March 4, and McGill on IN. 1ltA,
are the only matches arranged

there is keen competition in every
class. For unlimited honorz. the hghs
lies between Matthews and Stolz, both
members OF the football squad and
likely 10 make the varsity next year.
For the 175-pound class. O'Resgsn, a
regular last year and football sdusi
man, and Cruise, a regular back on
the eleven, are the conteaders.
Keen Struggle Among Boxers
An interesting situation present. It.
self in the l56-pound class, where there
is q spirited three e-cornered struggle
among Zotti, captain on the team; Nc
Bride, its manager, and Con-oy, cap
tain Of the football team. The best
men in the other classes are: l45-
pound, Severn, McLanaphy; 1852 ound,
Kurtz, O'Donnell: 125-pound, Sebald
Goldthwaite, Verge; 1l5-pound, Hayes,
