of the Georgetown crew are much
pleased with the new $500 cedar she'll
which arrived at the boathouse Friday
The she'll was shipped to the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad station, and j. Van
Beary, manager of the 1903 football
team, and ex- Manager Frank Fitzgerald
conveyed it to the boathouse on a push
cart, for which service they were pro-
fusely thanked by the Georgetown men.
The men who will defend the Blue and
Gray at Annapolis three weeks from
now. and at Poughkeepsie later, jumped
into the boat yesterday afternoon and
initiated it by spinning two or three
miles along the ripping Potomac in the
vicinity OF the boathouse and Aqueduct
Bridge. Dempsey has placed the men
in the positions which they will, in
all probability. occupy in the races in
which Georgetown figures. Unless the
unforeseen happens. the Georgetown
varsity crew will line up in this wise:
Captain Russell, stroke; Hayden. I;
Bremner. g.; Curran, s. Charlie Seitz, 4;
Mahoney. 3; Grogan, 2; Backes. 1. and
SchriVer, coxwain. This is a fast crew.
and compares favorably with the Fights
representing the other universities in
the Poughkeepsie races.
Captain Russell is the only member
of the original crew which Georgetown
turned out about four years ago. and
for that reason and because of his
popularity he was chosen TO head the
eight. Hayden is rowing in excellent
form, and Bremner and Curran are both
showing up we'll Charlie Seitz, Ma

work than ever. and have the fine points
of rowing thoroughly mastered. Barkes.

and great things are expected of the
doughty collegians who pull it this year.

the second crew viii be as follows:
