from n tour OF southern Europe. He
was at Venice when the officers of the
Chicago were arrested as a result of
trouble with a waiter In a cafe. Mr..
Atherton is much inclined to side with
the Americans. He says that many res

from the United States as legitimate

Cornell Draws Ahead.
Again Columbia caught the water
first. For one hundred yards or so they
rowed en- even terms. Then Cornell,
with beautiful style. drew ahead. Near

Z lead of half a length.
Syracuse then was quarter of a

half I length before the Columbias. who
were having boy and bow contest with
Pennsylvania. AS they approached the
bl idge, where the half way mark was,
Cornell still led ~ half a length.
The Wisconsin youngsters by this
time had found the Syracuse boat was
filled with giants. The boys from the
Salt City had both muscle and skill and
as they got to the crucial stage of the
race, they seemed to brace up with a
spu.t that cut down Wigconsin's lead to
half length.
Cornell's Easy Lead.

Columbia third, in 9:49. Then came
Syracuse. in 9:53, with the Quakers
bringing up the rear. in 1906.
There was another hurried trip up
stream to get the six varsity crews un-
der way. Pennsylvania had the position
nearest the west bank, with Cornell,
Columbia. Georgetown, Wisconsin. and
Syracuse stretched out in order to the
middle of the river. With marvelously
short delay the referee got them away
at $50. in perfect style.
Start of the Varsity.
Cornell, Georgetown, and Syracuse

Some of the members OF the eight

The boys have worked hard since early
spring, and are glad of the respite from

The season has been most profitable
one Tor the athletic department. not SO
much from a financial as from the per-
torrance point of view.
Dufy's great record and Hollands
clever winning at the intercoilegiateS
are part of athletic history.
The fact that the baseball team won
twenty-one out OF twenty-four games
played puts It at the head of all college
teams, notwithstanding the opinion Of
certain writer's that il is second-rate
team and all that sort of bosh. Another
writer went SO far as to say. after
speaking about Harvard, Yale, and
Princeton teams. that Georgetown has
a good team" putting 1t among the
also rams" when in point of fact 1t
won more games than any OF the other
big teams named.
There will come time when George
town VIII be considerably more OF a
factor in college athletics than she is
even now.
II is to be hoped that there is no truth
in the report that Georgetown will be
represented on the Atlantic City team
which is being made up of college play
ers. There is still rule in the associa-
tion which prohibits summer ball play
ing, and whether other colleges play or
not, Georgetown should by all means
stay out.
