IN lts opening owing mostly TO the
weather condition. Without the neces-
sity for training for some big event the
oarsmen do not show the same amount
of energy at the beginning of the season
that they do when the weather warns
up.
The preparation for the PouEhkeepsic
intercollegiate regatta brought on; the
Georgetown Varsity crew early and
through all sorts of weather conditions
The brawny oarsmen have with their
coach. Pat Dempsy, worked faithfully
and their presence has been the only in
dicEtion Of active rowing.

Of the water in June. the river will be
left entirely to the local boat clubs.
An Off, Season.
So far rs active preparation for. and
participation in, out-of-town regattas by
local boat clubs is concerned there is
nothing doing. and this may be called an
off-season in this respect. The clubs
will devote themselves almost entirely
to regattas among themselves and to
holding social events for themselves and
friends.
Tho Potomac and Analostan boat
houses are admirably suited for enter
tanning purposes and with their up-river
landings as an adjunct there is no good
reason why the season mapped out
shcuId not be q great success.
Potomac Boat Club.
Last year and :he Gre before the Po- |
deartElont AID ;he old red and white
was seen in Philadelphia and Harlem |
and while ii did not come away |
winner it made a sufficiently good show
ing to draw attention to the fact that
this city is still on the rowing map.
Preparation for races and making the |
trip TO them is very expensive, and as |
the Potomacs have this season expended .
money in improving their
boathouse. II was decided not to send
crews away this year. but TO entertain .
and their friends, as stated.
Next season they will be on the water .
again striving for honors. The club has
a large membership, and its finances
