SIX CREWS HAVE ENTERED

The annual intercollegiate boat races will
be held this year a week from today, at
PouEhkeepsie. y. Y, on the Hudson river.
The regatta will he of local interest from
the fact that the eight of Georgetown Uni
versity viii be entered 1t will be the Cnly
event In which the local varsity men are
entered. and will be the second appearance
OF the blue and gray at Poughkeepsie.
The Georgetown eight will leave the city
on a midnight train Wednesday, giving
several days at PoUghkeepsie before the
race for practice on the course. The men
have been training for several months. hut
are not in the best rowing condition. though
every day sees an Improvement in the team
work of the eight.
The course will be the usual four-nile
straishtaway from KrumelbOn to mile
below the railway bridge.
This year there will be six events in the
varsity contest. the Syracuse University
being the new crew entered. The other
crews represent the same universities as
last year-CornelI Columbia, Wisconsin and
University of Pennsylvania. The Pennsyl-
vania crew. which won last year and which
this season beat the eight of the Naval
Academy, has been sent to England to par
ticipate in the Henley races, but Pennsyl-
vania will be represented by another eight.
Party Going From Here.
While the Georgetown crew will leave
Wednesday night, its new racing shell
and help going with it. the root rs
for the oarsmen will not leave until day
or so before the race. 1t is expected that
party of about twenty will go from this
city, among the number being Rev. John
D. Whitney, S. j., rector of the university;
Father Bryan, NJ. ]. Colbert and Mr.. John
of the firm of Gurley & Johnson
through whose assistance the aquatic in
tereSts of the university were so materially
helped along this year.
Mr.. Claude Zappone. president of the
National Association of Amateur Oarsmen
who has been coaching the local crew the
entire season, will also be one of the party
while the manager of boating, Mr.. William
X Johnson, Will also go along.
The blue and gray eight will row this
year with an advantage over the eight of
last season, when the colors crossed the
line at the end of the race. Last seasons
crew was composed of green men, with two
exceptions. To this was added the diSad-
vantage of having no home, occupying the
quarters of the Potomac Boat Club through
the courtesy of that organization.
This season the crew has a handsome
boat house, with all necessary equipments,
including an abundance OF Shells and has
been given considerable practice in rowing

advantages, the crew will race July with
much chance of making a better showing
than one year ago.

time taken. Owing to the swift current in
the river and the rather high water which
has marked the whole of the season. no
effort at speed has been made, but 1t is
believed that the eight can cover the four
miles in twenty-one minutes.
In making trial row at speed for four
miles the local Oarsmen labor under a con-
siderable disadvantage. A straight course
of four miles cannot be obtained on the
river here, though the distance can be COW
cred by starting some distance up the river
and finishing near the Long bridge. This
course has it's disadvantage in the bend op-
posite the old naval observatory grounds.

Georgetown's Experience.


So far this season the Georgetown crew
has been in three contests. It's first race
was with the naval cadets at Annapolis,
the blue and gray being defeated by several
lengths Considering the condition of the
varsity eight at that period of training
and the fact that the crack Henley crew of
the university defeated the middies only
by narrow margin, the defeat of the locals
in their first race was quite honorable.
AT the recent regatta of the Potomac C
Boat Club the university eight roWed the
Potomac crew, and the result was a close
finish, but 1t was stated that as the dis
tance was only a mile straightaway the
varsity boys did not have time enough to
get their steam on. To emphasize this a
race was held on the afternoon of the day
of the commencement exercises of George
town, and the blue and gray oarsmen, over
mile and a half course, had placed several
lengths between them and their opponents
at the finish of the contest.
Coach Zappone. in talking to Star re-
porter. stated that there is a great likeli-
hood of change being made in the compo-
sition of the crew between now and We'd
nesday. He further said that If any new
man is put in the regular crew 1t will be
one OF the two substitutes. From the
manner in which he spoke it was inferred
that one of the men was not working as
hard as he should.
1T has been impossible to have trial."

training somewhat hard. The crew this
year is much better than last season. and
since the commencement of training has
made progress. The men are improving
constantly change being noted every day
in their rowing
When asked about the prospects of win
ming the Poughkeepsie event the coach did
not seem to care to say anything. 1t was
impossible TO tell just how the race would
turn out. He had not heard of the condi-
tion of the other crews. which have had
just as good an opportunity as the George
town eight to improve.
