This crew is lighter than Naval
Academy crews Of recent years, but
not greatly 30, and the members
are OF the rangy type which makes
for stamina ana endurance, and
from which most Naval oarsfnen
have been picked. 1t is believed
that the Naval Academy win have
q good crew this year and that it
will surely lay q foundation for q
notable crew by next year. as six
OF the present varsity have two
seasons besides the present Tor row.
Is CON ALL TOURS"
It happens that the experience
Of the present varsity Is nearly ION
all fotirs" with that OF the great
Olympic crew OF 1920. That crew
had two members who had rowed
Tor three previous seasons, Graves
and Jaconini. This ID true of two
OF the present crew, BolIes and
Walsh. Five OF the Olympic crew
had rowed but one year previously.
the other. Moore, having taken up
rowing for the first year. AS to
this, there is slight advantage
with the present crew, as all six
have rowed for one season before
this year. In fact, Chillingworth
had done some rowing at Harvard
before entering the academy.
Glendon speaks highly of the work
Of Bolles, who is the only varsity
man Of last year left at stroke.
Bolles, an extremely powerful fellow,
Is rowing in fine form and perform.
Ing to q highly satisfactory, degree
the double duties of captain and
stroke. Glendon IL we'll provided
with capable strokes, there being
three others well up to the average
Of varsity strokes in Kendall and
Clexton, stroke and No. 6 of the
second crew. and Hopping, who is
stroking the third crew.
The additions to the boathouses
has added much to the convenience
OF the oarsmen and coaches. They
have been extended to the side in
such q way as to increase the floor
space by more than one-half. Floats
and runways have also been repaired
and improvements made in the
showers and dressing rooms.
SEASON TO OPEN.
The season will open on April Z,
when the University OF Pennsylvania
will send varsity, second and third
crews here.
The baseball nine has taken a big
stride right at the start, opening
against Syracuse here on Wednes-
day and playing three games on a
southern trip OF two days. North
Carolina State and the University Of
North Carolina were encountered
yesterday on their home campuses
and the University of Richmond will
be played at Richmond today.
There is much optimism over the
outlook, and the squad Is
showing much life under the direc-
ton Of Ensigns Blakeslee and Mil
ner, the youthful and magnetic
coaches. Kelly, who won his game
against the Army last year, is again
to do the bulk Of the pitch.
ing, with big Niemeyer and Peterson,
both change pitchers last year, as
his principal reliefs.
There is much satisfaction over
the fact that Zimmerman, who has
worked so faithfully as substitute
catcher for three years, appears to
have q firm hold on the place this
year. He shows Improvement in
both throwing and hitting, his former
weak points, and as a receiver Is ex-

There iE strong competition on all
the bases. Watd and Ellis are hav-
ing the closest kind of fight for
the initial bag. while Mckee, the
football and basketball star, is play
ing better baseball than before, and
is making fight for second, now &C.
