Athletics at the Naval Academy are
not conducted on a money.making
basis. The cost of varsity and intra-
mural athletics Is betrayed in part by
receipts. but, in goodly measure, funds
for the support of teams come from
the officers Of the Navy.
AS an example of the absence of
mercenary motives in the Naval
scheme of sports the writer ALREADY
has cited the arrangement for foot ball
games in the next two years between
Princeton and the Navy whereby the
Tigers play at Annapolis next year
"a game where admission is not
charged and Princeton will receive
nothing-and at Princeton in 1927,
when Nassau will not divide the re.
ceipts with her guest.
Needs More Than Technique.
The thing that makes a good rowing
coach is the thing that makes q good
foot ball coach. That is an ability
to coordinate his crew or team. TO
get the utmost out of his men that
they can give. not only, but give at
the same instant and in prevailing
mood of high resolve.
There is many d foot ball coach
many rowing coach, who knows Is
much in a technical way about the
sport in which he instructs as do
Zuppke. Stagg, Dobie, Ed Leader.
Rusty Callow or Dick Glendon. But
over and above this knowledge is the
faculty of driving that technique into
men. and, having thus impaired il to
succeed in the task of rhythmatiZine
them
In foot ball Zuppke can stand on
the side lnieS and, after play has
been made, can run up to the scrim-
mage and tell each man just where
he failed in the duty of bringing
about perfect synchronism, and Ed
ward Leader or Glendon can do the
same thing with a crew
Since success in athletics seems to
be very desirable for an institution
of learning, a coach who is endowed
as above is worth as much money as
the college can afford to pay him.
Polo Defeat Mystery.
AS for the defeat of the Army polo
team in London by the Jodhpur polo
lists. 1t will be recalled that the East
Indians had already beaten the Amer
leans by almost as large a score,
while the British soldier four, beaten
by the United States outfit, had
played the Maharaj ia s team to a
draw.
If. as some suspect, the Americans
were stale in Saturdays game, what
shall be said about them in the other
game played before the international
series? 1t cannot be figured.
