Decision a Disappointment
Duffey's announcement that he can
not take part in the games comes in
the nature of a disappointment to both
the management of the Pennsylvania
meet and sporting men all over the
country.
1t has been claimed by the westerns
that Duffey has evidenced a desire TO
evade Archie Hahn. the Michigan won
der. whenever the opportunity offers it
self. This however, is denied by the
Georgetown man. and it is probable that
they will meet at the Worlds Fair
games in st. Louis, which Duffey says
he is sure TO attend.

High Winds and Rough

CAUSES A SEVERE SETBACK

The high wind Of the past few DAYS
has interfered greatly with the training
OF the Georgetown crews. Not since
Monday has Coach Dempsey had the
oarsmen out for practice. as the river
in the vicinity of the university boat
house has been entirely too rough TO
venture out IN the frail shells.

men for the crews to go to Annapolis

able TO give the new shell, which ar
rived last Monday, a thorough trial
there will be no change Nin the person

ond Fights.
Coach Dempsey was greatly pleased
with the new boat during its initial dip.
The new craft sits up higher out of the
water. and because of its broad keel is
steadier than the old boats. From bow
TO stern the shell measures sixty-two
and half feet, which is half a foot
shorter than the boats used heretofore
by the Blue and Gray oarsmen

TRAINING TABLE
CAUSES TROUBLE
Cornell Oarsmen Refuse TO
Eat Delicacies.

Courtney.
ALL ARE OUT OF CONDITION

ITHACA. April 21.-Not in a long while
has the Cornell undergraduate body
been so worked up as it has been over
the strike on the part Of the crew men
against the training table.
The entire varsity squad, compo. ed OF
sixteen men. have left the table in
body. and until a suitable boarding place
is provided for them there will be no
peace either in rowing circles or among
the undergraduates.
Queer Training Diet.
Last fail the training table which has
been used for years was transferred TO
a new boarding house. Coach Courtney
furnished a menu OF the food he wanted
for the men, but instead Of getting the
substantial diet prescribed. IL Is stated
that the men got knickknacks including
charlotte russo. peach shoTtcake, jeliies,
and j3tms. AS a result nearly every
member Of the crew has been cat of con-
dition.
Must Be Adjusted
Some time ago Coach Courtney told
the men that they were warranted in
quitting the place until better food was
provided. But the mon sought to avoid
trouble The men returned from a
twelve mile row as hungry as bears.
When they saw no prospect Of satisfy
ing their appetite the trouble followed.
The condition of affairs is all attributed
to the athletic councils trying 10 econO-
mize. Coach Courtney says that unless
the matter is speedily adjusted Cornell
NAV as we'll withdraw from the races
IN which she is entered For he cannot
develop a winning crew without a good
