Outdoor athletics at Georgetown Cniver-
sity are gradually being whipped into
shape and in less than week the track
and field and baseball and rowing depart
ments mag be said to be running on full
time.
An unusual amount OF interest is being
taken this season in the development of
the crew which is to represent George
town in the intercollegiate regatta on the
Hudson this summer. The interest among
the men was considerably increased on
Saturday owing to the flying visit of Pat
Dempsey, who is to coach the crew this
year. He came down from Philadelphia to
look over the candidates for the various
seats in the boat
Has Much Good Material.
He was introduced to about thirty-five
men, all of whom are anxious to try for
aquatic honors. He divided them up into
squads and put them through some pre-
liminary work on the rowing machines.
He was considerably encouraged by find
ing lot Of excellent material. and from
among the aspirants he expressed the be-
lief that he had enough good ones to make
up two good crews.
He will gradually sift them down until
he gets ten good men for his eight -oared
crew. II the weather is good this week !
the men will take work on the water
He will return next week to stay until
the end of the season, and that means
good hard work for everybody.

Baseball Practice Begins.
The poor weather of the past week
served to put the baseball field in rather
poor condition, and somewhat interfered
with the practice. Coach Suter has had
the men In hand several weeks, and from
what he has seen of their work he ex-
presses himself very much pleased over
the outlook, and believes that George
town will have even a faster baseball |
nine than last years remarkable one
If the weather is fair this week and !
the field in shape he will put his men /
through lot Of preliminary work in
throwing and batting, and the following
week he will line up sides against one
another, and the real hard work will be-
gin.
Games With Princeton and Yale.
The first game will be with the Y. NJ !
c. A. at College Park. Nd, on March 10, !
and on March % will be the first hard
game at Georgetown Field, when the
Lafayette team will be here, and on the
26th Lehigh will come, and on the 27th
and 29th Yale and Princeton respectively,
will give the blue and gray" tussel.
PRINCETON plays another game March 81,
and on April Yale will return from the
South for the second game.
From this it will be seen that George
town has some of the strongest teams to
play at the very beginning of the sea-
son, and only the hardest kind of work
will put the team in shape for these Sc
we're tests.

select his team is the largest lot of can
didates in recent years. and many OF the
men are first-class players, and a strong
