COLUMBIA AATHLETICCL
The question of having a football club
to represent the Columbia Athletic Club
is still a mooted one with the chances
in favor of there not being one. Teams of
this kind are an expensive adjunct to
club and without prospects for games
with other teams from which certain
and sure profit may be expected, it would
be useless expense to maintain one. OF
course, looking at it from an athletic point
of view there should be a team for the
sake of the sport and the pleasure OF
playing the game, but no organization, not
even the college athletic associations,
have their teams for the mere sport, but
they have them for profit as well.
As Georgetown College will not have a
football team this season, as stated in
the Times several months ago, and as
its game with the c. A. c. on Thanksgiv
ing was 4 fixture which drew out thou
sands OF spectators and 'rooters' and
which brought handsome returns into the
Golfers of the two organizations. the C.
A. C. therefore is unwilling to take any
chances for its outlay with any team from
elsewhere in which there is no local in
terest. 1t therefore has a good reason
for not having a team as games with Wis
iting teaIrfs before and after Thanks
giving always resulted in q loss of money.
Athietically speaking there is but little
going on at the club. A number of the
regulars are beginning TO take exercise
and practice in the gym. Other than this
no regular work is done, pending the de-
cision of the board of governors as to the
appointment OF u successor to Prof. Cross
ley.
At the boathouse there is-some activity
in pleasure rowing. The only crew which
takes regular spins is the four-oared shell
crew, the "Hasbeenolas,' consisting of
Zeigler. stroke; Kerr, 3; Ward, 2, and
Elder, bow. The crew rows in good form
and has some speed. Capt. Raker an
Dounces that n hop at the boathouse and a
barge party on the same evening, to be
given next week will close the rowing
season at the C. A. G. boathouse
President Grant and Sam Stinemetz
have returned from an enjoyable trip to

POTOMAC BOAT CLUB
The second of n series of stag barge
parties to members of the Potomac Boat
Club will be given at Potomac Landing

The regular scnii-monthly hop at the boat
house on Friday evening was most en-
joyable affair. There was a very large
attendance.
Several oyster roasts at Potomac Land
ing are being arranged for next month.
Capt. viii Offley has recovered from his

CARROLL INSTITUTE ATHLETICS.
Notwithstanding the very warm weather
during the past week the gmyna sium classes
of Carroll Institute were well attended
and on two evenings there were over
twenty members on the floor taking exer-
else. An excellent showing for SO early in
the season.
Prof. Maurice Joyce has some excellent
material from which to develop a strong
basketball team in addition to the regular
gymnastic and athletic work
Work on the basket ball team will be
taken up at once and as soon as date
can be arranged the team will play game
with the strong team of the Baltimore Y
NJ. C. A.
The indoor competitions of last winter
I'm athletic lines among members were
beneficial in many ways and this season
these contests will be held monthly, so
that there will be constant interest and
rivalry.
