fastest 440-yard man in college athletics.
In the relay event the blue and Gray"

Owens and Edmonston. and II is fast
enough to make it hot going for whatever
teams draw position with it.
Duffey has a hard task mapped out for
him in the 100 yards as he will have
against him all of last years fresh crop
of flyers. including Scheuber OF Harvard,
Eaton of Amhurst, and Sears of Cornell.
All of Georgetown's men above named

bn
ners and sprinters are working up on the
top of the hill overlooking the Potomac

ing up the water with their blades n
earnest preparation for the big intercol-
legiate aquatic event at Poughkeepsie in
June and in which the BLUE and Gray"

A New Combination.
Dempsey has tried a number of combi-
nations during the past week, but he liked
none SO well as when the eight" had in
it Kerns, stroke; Seitz, I; Captain Rus
sell, s; Lynch. 5; Oracle, 4; Edmunston,
8; ]. Reilly, 3 and Mahoney, 1. He did
not to say he liked this boat best, but he
had it out oftener than others, and he
must have liked it. 1t certainly moved
we'll. and its Inland -out board work was
clean-cut and prompt. and the boat had
quite swing to it. Short stretches. and
many of them, was each days program.
The crew will be finally settled next week.
when 1t will be shaped up for its trying
out against Annapolis next month
With the two "Joes"-Lynch and
Reilly-back in the back, it looks stronger
than ever. Reilly was No. in last years
boat and Lynch No. 4. Duffy will be
missed but there are several men who
are trying for the place who hope to make
good.
Oarsman Duffy.
Mr.. ]. P. B. Duffy, of last years crew,
and one of the best men in the boat and
now at Harvard, paid visit to George
town last week and had hearty recep-
tion at the hands of the students and
faculty. He served in his class races
two weeks ago and sat in the winning
boat, law class, and was afterward toast
ed at the banquet and had the pleasure
of hearing praises of Georgetown sung.
He paid several visits to the George
town boathouse during his stay here ard
after looking over some of the material
he expressed the opinion that Dempseys
men should make a good showing il not
a winning against their veteran comPeti-
tors on the water at the June races.
