ANNAPOLIS, Dec. 26.-Janti
airy will be buster than usual in
Naval Academy sports. though
most Of the branches win not
have contests until late In the
month. However, the earlier part
will be a period of active prepara-
ton for the respective Navy
teams.
The basketball team occupies
the most prominent place during
the month, having a game each
Wednesday and Saturday after
making its start for the new
year on the eighth, against Wake
Forest.
Outstanding events for the
month will be the exchange of
basketball games with the Uni
verSity Of Pennsylvania and the
boxing match with Dartmouth.
Penn win send its five to An
napolis on the fifteenth, and the
midshipmen go to Philadelphia
on the twenty-fifth. The boxers
from Dartmouth open the Nays
schedule, conteSting at Annapolis
on the eighteenth. 1t will be
the first meeting Of these institu-
tions in this sport.
In addition to basketball
and boxing, there are con-
tests. in wrestling, swimming,
water-pOIo, fencing and rifle
shooting scheduled for the
month. There are also
matches for the pIebes in
basketball, swimming and
water.pOIo.

The basketball team has made
an excellent start, defeating VIII.
liam and Mary and Lafayette by
decisive scores. IN fact, the
showing has been better than an
ticipated, as the team lost heavily
through the graduation Of the
last class.
The tentative varsity lineup Of
the basketball five has Captain
ColeStocK as center. Allen and
Reinhart at the forwards and
Lawrence anad Campbell at the
guards.
This combination is showing 3
great deal Of speed and the
team play is well advanced for 50
early In the season. Colestock
is the only player who was con-
sidered q regular last season.
However, the others had some ex-
perience in match games.
The cares Of the captaincy do
not seem to have detrRcted from
CoIeStock's work, as he is netting
the ball more regularly than last
year, and is easily leading his
team in scoring up to this time.
Allen, who played for >
portion Of most Of the games
last season, Ii next highest
scorer and looks like the
Nayy's best forward for the
season. He is also captain
Of the lacrosse team.
Members Of the football SuuaV
who play basketball were q little
late getting started, and may
make some Of the present regulars
work hard before long. The best
of them are Freshour and Byng,
forwards; H. Bauer, center. and
Bowstron1, guard.
Up to the present, scholastic
requirements have prevented the
playing Of Mcguire, the outstand-
ing forward Of the plebes last
season. 1t Is hoped that his
services win be available next
month.
Coach Johnny Wilson has more
good material available than last
year. and will form two varsity
teams for use as whole units.
something he was unable to do
satisfactorily last season.
