He will work with the Purple #quad three days a week. Although this is the first time in history of the college that wrestling has been taken u pofficially, a good-sized squad has and arrangements are under way for a dual meet with Krieger played fullback on the undefeated William football Game at Annapolis. Annapolis, Md., Jan. 25.—The Na- val Academy basketball team gained sweet revenge for the one-point de- feat a little over a week ago in Phil- adelphia, when it won from the Uni- versity of Pennsylvania here yester- day afternoon by 31 to 20, in a game marked by speed and a tight defense by both teams. Early in the game both teams decided that they could not penctrate the other's defense to any advantage, and resorted to long shots. This made the game abound in thrills and nearly every one of the nine goals which were: thrown from the floor might be considered spectac. ular. McKee did the lion's share in win- ning the Navy's victory. He scored three field goals, two in the first half, and caged the ball nineteen times out of twenty-two chances. Mills scored from the floor for the Navy with@ Penn man hanging to him and Me- Kee succeeding in both of the tries which the official gave him. Walsh, a plebe, who substituted at center for Day, made the other two field goals for the Navy, the clever dribble.
