The great work OF the basket ball
team IS doing much to revive the
spirits of the midshipmen and other
naval people after a disastrous foot
ball season, and one in soccer which
was not much better. At the rate
the team IS going, it promises to be
one of the best college aggregations
this year.
OF course, the game against the
Military Academy, to be played at
Annapolis on February %, is exciting
the keenest interest, but there are a
number of other good contests in this
sport at Annapolis before the season
ends. Pennsylvania, Lafayette, Wash
lngton, Duquesne and Penn State re-
main on the January bill, while Feb
ruary will be marked by the visits
of such teams as North Carolina
New York University, Fordham
Bucknell, Georgetown and Delaware
Boxing will have a season of super
lative interest. The matches at Annap-
oils will be with Catholic University.
Syracuse, All-Canadians, Yale and
the University of Pennsylvania. OF
these, the matches with the picked
team of Canadian collegians and Yale
will be the big events
1t will be the fourth season in
which the Canadians have compli-
mented the naval boxers by sending
against them the best aggregation
of their collegiate boxers that can be
found. Navy always has won the
match, but the bouts have been con
tested with great skill, spirit and
sportsmanship, and the Canucks are
always popular visitors.
Yale, by tying the Midshipmen at
New Haven last year, came the near
est any team has done to defeating
the Naval Academy in a dual match
during the five years the Midship-
men have been engaged in competi-
tive boxing. The match was unsat-
isfactory, and the naval mitmen are
aching for another chance, which
will come on March IA. The date Of
the match with the Canadians is
February IS.
Canadians VIII WrestIe.
The Canadians will, on the same
date, bring a picked team Of collie
gians TO try conclusions with the Mid
shipmen on the wrestling mat Nat
urally, this match is exciting much
interest. However, the big event Of
the mat season is the contest with
Pennsylvania State, champions of the
lntercolle giate Wrestling Association.
with whom. however. the Midshipmen
tied in a match at State. This match
takes place March Z.
1t is likely that the national gym
nastic championships will take place
at the Naval Academy this year, on a
date to be fixed. This Will be the
big event in this line. and there Will
be inter sting dual matches in gym
nastics and fencing
Yale will furnish the real thrill in
swimming and water polo, bringing
both teams to Annapolis for match
in the fine new polo on March 21. The
Navy won the swimming match.
while Yale was victor at water polo
last year. and both teams will strive
hard for a double victory this sea
son.
1t is probable that no college Will
furnish quite so fine program of
Winter sports as the Naval Academy.
At the height of the season there viii
be from five to seven varsity events
each Saturday. with two or three
more events for the plebes. These
will make up an offering in Winter
sports which no other college is like
ly to equal.

Such practice should take place dur

season and should be persisted in
throughout the entire season There
should he three balls nt every bas-
ket, 80 there will be lots of shooting
and lots of action. This makes for n

The Importance of having this good
morale during the opening practice
sessions cannot be Over-emphaSized.
