NAVY UNMOVED
BY DEFEAT

ANNAPOLIS. Jan. 4.-The Naval
Academy basketball team will re-
sumo practice today undismayed by
the unexpected defeat by the Uni.
versity of Maryland in the last
game played before Christmas
leave. but hoping to learn useful
lessons through the setback. An
early season defeat, and by so
strong a team as Maryland, is not
regarded as ground for discourage
ment.
On the other hand, the fine vic.
tory over Columbia In the opening
game may be regarded as an off.
set. Many think Columbia will be
the champion Of the intercollegiate
Association this season. ana 1t was
well ahead Of the naval team.
However, the midshipmen made
splendid rally in the closing min
utes of the game and won by a
single point.
The squad has forwards Of un.
usual ability in Craig. Parish and
Signer, and guards Of much strength
in Jones, Graf and Shapley. John

There are many other players OF
promise, and with so much fine
material there Is nothing like dis
couragement over the prospects for
the rest of the season.
The team has obvious faults, how
ever, the chief one being too great
q dependency upon long shots and
failure to master a system of
working to easy shots. With this
overcome, the Navy should reach
the standard of the very best COL
lege teams.
The team opens the series of
games for 1925 by playing New

January. The other games for the
month are: 18th, Lafayette; 18th.

the GermansAmericans defeat the
Fort Myer soccer team in a game
played on the Soldiers field. The
game was a one.to-nothing affair
with the 1efty Germans on the
long side of the one.
Beyerlin scored the victory for his
team and he could not have done
30 without the first-class help OF
some of his mates. Even after that
goal had been scored 1t took some
fighting playing on the part OF the
German defensive players to keep
the battling Soldiers from getting
anywhere.
The Soldiers seemed about to
break into the scoring column in
almost every period. But they
were always thwarted at the very
moment 1t seemed as though they
would score. The Germans team
work was the main reason for their
victory. They deserved to win.
