In the 1995 Pixar lm Toy Story, main characterWoody argues that Buzz Lightyear cant really y - thatinstead he falls with style.

Testing a Buzz Lightyear action gure in one of theNaval Academys wind tunnels revealed that Woodywas right. Buzzs body is too large in proportion to hiswings to allow him to y well, said Midshipman 2nd

Class Kris Ward.

But the mids didnt stop there.

The Naval Academys annual croquet match againstSt. Johns College will take place April 20 at 1 p.m. atSt. Johns. Get to know a little about this years teambefore their inevitable victory this Saturday.
