GOLD WEATHER IS
 HAMPERING CREWS
Navy Oarsmen Arc Confident Of Good Showing in Opening Tests

Annapolis Mdo April 93 lP -- Cold woaihnr and high winds that
 lave been kicking ED rough water in the Severn river all spring. have
 set back Coach Harry Butler's ! navy crews in their training. | Nevertheless the mdshipmcn are confident of good showing in their opening tests tomorrow against tho junior varsity and var si'Y crews of Massachusetts Insti- tute of technology. Il regatta that , marks the start of eastern rowing season.
 Bnl"r q former University ot Washington oarsman, believes the varsity crew. which now averages l'9 pounds, 10 he about five pounds to the man overweight. There IS an advantage 10 this, however, which will be felt lateu in the long preparation for the am nnH championship pull al Pough- keop@'e. for at that time the crew will be able better to stand tho grind of training in warm weather.
 The famous "Glendon stroke" that has been feature in many navy victories and championships Of the past has been revamped by Butler. The long sweep developed by the former navy mentor. with tis lazy and deep back stretch, has been replaced by the shorter. snappier pull in vogue with vest ern crews. Increased speed and power have been added as the blades catch the water. The changes made so far have altered Vlsibly the appearance of the navy crews on the Severn.
 Butler has for his first crew eight husky. rangy oarsmen of ideal build for gruelling work. Replacelnents available from the junior varsity, however, have been disappointing. four veterans of last years cham pionship eight again are in the var sity shell. Tom Eddy. stroke, W. c. Eddy at No. 3, Captain Sylvester at No. and Eatson at No. form the nucleus. Coxswain Seabring. who called the stroke last year. is back in the steering seat. Elliott, in the bow, stroked the junior varsity last season, while Broadbent at No. 2 and Badanovitch at No. 5, came up from the plebe crew. Born, at No. {. has been rowing three years, but was un~ placed in the boat last year during the major races because of scholas. tic difficulties.
 Coach Bill Haines arrived at the academy Monday with the varsity and junior varsity eights of Massa~ chusetts Tech to prepare for the races tomorrow. The two opponents will run over the Henley distance of 5-16 miles.

NEW BRITAIN HIGH NINE
 OPENS SEASON TOMORROW
Coach George M, Cassidy Takes First Step in Forming Baseball Team For 1926,

The first move Of Coach George
 M Cassidy of tho New Britain High
 school to make up q baseball team out of q collection of green and in- experienced material will be made in the Naugatuck High school game nt
 the Naugatuck field tomorrow after
 noon at 2;30 o'clock.
 ! Even at the present writing the
 Red and Gold mentor does not
 know what his lineup will be. but
 close students of the team pick the
 following as a possible lineup: Mar
 ion Zaleski, catch; Al Fengler, pitch: Gabrial Bromberg, first base: Ed
 ward Lcwicki, second base; Hamil-
 ton Darrow, short stop; James Ma
 tulis, third base; Charles Charlow
 left field: Holga Carlson center field; and Al Havlick. right field. Others who may be used in the lineup arc the Morrin brothers who are battling each other for outleld positions, and
 Malone and Joel Adams, candidates for the infAld.
 This is the first season in many that Naugatuck has been on the Red and Gold schedule. Tn the past five years the only team that battled the down staterS was the track team. Football is yet to resume old time relations as has the basketball team. Reports from the camp of the ri- val teams indicate that it knows the weakness of the Red and Gold team this year and Naugatuck is confident ,of coming through with q win in 1 the first baseball game between the two teams in many years. "Naugy" followers have been reading news paper accounts of the Red and Gold 'team and will greet the New Britain fans with plenty of money to back up their confidence.
