print. it is generally known that the
second crew has taken the varsity lads
measure several times, and once when
Coach Dempsey lent his brawny muscles
to the wearers of the G, with the oar
run through it. The second crew, as
above stated, is made up of strong,
husky lads, who can turn trick or
two, with the oars, and the races be-
tween the regular varsity lads, and the
substitutes are even and holly con-
tested.
All of the varsity men are in the pink
of form and condition now, and if the
middies do not meet their Waterloo next
Saturday, the students OF Georgetown
University will be sadly disappointed
lot. The practice has been far more
rigid than ever, and the men have turn
ed out more regularly than in any pre-
vious year. Some OF the crew boys
would rather miss their meals than their
daily spin on the water, and this con-
scientious, faithful training, it is be-
lieved, will bear good fruit. At any rate
the boys practice and training will not
so amiss even though they never enter
a race.
Although there remains one week be-
fore the first race of the Blue and Gray
crew, it is not believed that there will
be any more changes in the personnel
of the varsity and second crews. On the
contrary, it is believed Coach Dempsey
will keep the men right where they are
and concentrate his efforts upon those
men who have been assigned positions
in the two shells. in order to facilitate
and expedite matters. and TO save the
time that would necessarily be taken
up in breaking in new and less ex-
perienced men in the various positions.
Formidable Lineup.
Georgetown's lineup is formidable
one, and TO those who know something
about boat racing. it appears that the
Blue and Gray will, in all probability,
compare favorably not only with the fu-
ture admirals at Annapolis next Satur-
day, but with Cornell. Columbia. Penn
sylvania, Syracuse, and Wisconsin, the
other crews entered in the Poughkeep-
sic regatta June 26. II the Blue and
Gray lads do not finish a little closer TO
the winner this year than they did last,
Coach Dempsey will be a sadly disap-
pointed man.
Dempsey has been practicing the
varsity men in this order: Capt Muir
ray Russell, stroke; Hayden. I; Brem-
ner, 6; Curran, 5; Charlie Seitz, 4; Ma
honey, 3; Eagan, 2; Backes. bow, and
Schriver. coxswain. That will in all
probability be the lineup OF she crew

record at the Blue and Gray institution
that the Mosquito State outdid itself
when It produced this fair-faced, popu-
lar, blue-eyed, young oarsman. He rowed
with the scrub crew last year, but that
in nowise reflects discredit upon him, for
his work last year was such as TO win
admiration and commentator from all
who beheld his marvellous development
and rowing. Backes can also play a
good game on the football field, and is
usually around when there is mfx-up or
a scrimmage on the gridiron. Up to
fortnight or so ago, he was hid away in
the second shell, but Dempsey was not
content to see such a capable, reliable
and brawny lad in the second boat and
placed him In the bow of the varsity
shell, where he has done exceptionally
good work. He is possessed OF pure grit
and a great amount of ~staying power,
and is rapidly developing into an ex-
pert oarsman, and can hold his own with
the best that Georgetown has produced
since her brawny sons took to water
In Schriver, the diminutive freshman
coxswain of the varsity crew, the crew
coach has one of the best little men
that has ever handled the iudder of a
Georgetown boat. Schriver weighs about
101 pounds, but he is an excellent cox
swain, despite his stinginess OF weight.
The average weight of the men in the
varsity shell is go pounds. All OF them
are Muscular. and possess staying pow
err They have all thoroughly mastered the
ctrol-a which nars,Deay invented PO- tho
use of the Georgetown crews. The ma
jority of men in college. or university
crews are trained TO dip their oars in
the water and take their time in swing
ing back on them. Dempsey believes that
more speed can be made when the oars
are dipped and the men pull back OH
them the instant they touch the water
1t remains 10 be seen what results can
be accomplished by the Dempsey stroke
when performed by the varsity crew.
The second crew is fast. This has been
exemplified by the fact that the varsity
has been trimmed more than once by the
doughty substitutes who will row the
second Annapolis crew Saturday, before
the Georgetown Annapolis crews take
the water for their race.
Atkinson, a student in the 1904 college
class, which has been more or less an
propriately termed the Pride of George
town. is stroke OF the second crew. He
is from New Orleans, where Sam Owens
came from. Last year be stroked his
class crew and proved the real thing.
He is a member of the Georgetown GIee
Club, and some have accused him of
having a silver-toned voice. Atkinson's
work at stroke could not well be i'm
proved upon.
