Kenny Williams, who was sit
ting nearby, joined i'm and said
that at this time Davis has q
better fast ball than he had at
any stage during 1924. Davis
said that his delivery seems
better to him now than ever be-
fore and he looks forward to a
great year.
Dixie doesn't say that. he will
start moving down the opposition
from the tap Of the gong. He does,
however, believe that if the
weather is anywhere near normal
when the season starts that he will
get going. Last year Davis won
eleven and lost thirteen games, for
an average Of .458, and it was his
failure to get going in the early
stages Of the pennant marathon, to-
gether with the total collapse of
Big Elam Vangilder, that nullified
the chances Of the club to be up in
the hunt all Of the way.
Davis is one OF the hardest
workers in camp, as he has always
been, and 1t is no secret that Sisler
is much gratified with the fact that
Dixie has not complained Of a sore
arm this year.

While beaten by Princeton and
Yale in the tank competitions, the
Academy has high hopes for the in
tercollegiates, to which Yale will be
host, based on probable division
of a number of the firsts between
those two teams, with other punches

ferent contestants.
AS to gymnastics, in which the
Naval Academy will meet the Uni
versity of Chicago at Annapolis, 1t
to defeat the Nayy's aggregation
this year. 1t is fresh from an over
whelming victory in the finals OF
the intercollegiate Gymnastic Asso-
citation, which comprises all the

indicates that the Navy cham

However, should Edwards, the
heavyweight wrestler, who an

Naval Academy will be strongly

Lyon, .175 pounds; Henderson, 160

Collins, lis pounds, are regarded
as having excellent chances Of lead

Of 200 pounds, and standing feet

very much pleased with his work.
The Navy believes it has in Rule

stroke swimmers, respectively,
among the colleges. It is looking
to these to win f1rsts in the Inter-
collegiates. 1t also has two fine
