n preliminary survey of a por-
Il ton of the plebe class which
4 a entered the Naval Academy
this Summer indicates that its
physical average is high and that 1t
contains much promising athletic
material. The average Of weight, height
and strength appears to be a little
higher than any class that has entered
| the Naval Academy for some time.
There are not more than two or three
members of the class who have had any
athletic experience in college ranks, but
a large number have played on prepara-
tory or high school teams in one or
more lines Of sport.
The new material for foot ball, base
ball, lacrosse. basket ball, boxing and
rowing Is particularly good. A very few
have had practical experience in crew
rowing, but there are a number OF
youths who are well qualified physically
for the sport.
So far only two youths who have
played on varsity teams have been
noted. B. e. Wigging, well-built
youth Of ITO pounds, played an end on
the eleven of the University OF New
Hampshire and also won his letter in
basket ball. J: r. Reedy. 1870 pounds;
was a foot ball lineman, basket ball
Wallace College.
The schools at Hampton Roads and
San Diego, which prepare enlisted men
to enter the Naval Academy, have been
fruitful sources for athletes and num-
Der Of them are members Of the new
class at the academy.
broom Mile Runner.
Lawrence x. broom, captain Of the
crack basket ball team and foot ball end
Of the Navy team at the Hampton
Roads station, is now a midshipman.
William L. Fry. jr.. Is another crack
athlete from the Navy, excelling in
foot ball. base ball, basket ball and as
mile runner.
Some of the other athletic members
Of the class who entered from the en-
listed ranks of the Navy team are:
James H. Campbell, foot ball back;
Robert S. Fisher, end Hern L. Dunagan,
foot ball, basket ball, wrestling. boxing;
Frank j. Peterson, foot ball lineman;
Robert s. Camera, foot ball end; T. w.
South. foot ball and swimming; James
G. Kasteian, foot ball, basket ball and
track.
Probably the outstanding athletic
prospect In the new class is Jack Dan
enhauer, 203-pound athlete from Sew
ern School. Danenhauer is the all
scholastic tackle in Maryland and also
the champion interscholastic heavy
weight wrestler. He also plays lacrosse
and losses the weights.
Severn School has sent several high
grade athletes to the academy. includ-
ing a large part of its excellent la
crosse team. Two members of the new
class have excelled in lines in which
the academy seldom gets stars. David
S. McDougal Is probably the best
youthful rife shot In the country. and
Howard F. Kuehl was the winner of the
open golf championship of the C. M.
T. G. in 1928.
Upon the whole, the high and pre-
paratory schools are the feeders of
Naval Academy teams. and there are
many good prospects from this source
in the new class.
Dickinson Powerful Tackle.
John o. Dickinson is a powerful
tackle of 1856 pounds from Wallace Uni
versity School Of Nashville. Howard w.
Anderson won his letters in foot ball
and basket ball at Shattuck School.
