recovered from the furry caused by the
announcement that the Crimson athletes
had been permitted 10 break training for
a week and that the men were dissa tisfied
with Jim Way. There was slight mlIup
because the senior Weld crew persisted in
beating the first varsity boat, and as il
was coached by Rice, a Harvard man, II
was thought that he was proving that his
system was better than that Of Way.
The intercollegiate regatta at Pough-
keepsie will take place on June 2S, instead
Of July /. Holding the race on Wednes-
day il accounted a better thing all round
especially II there Is any celebrating TO be
done after the regatta. Sunday morning
Is very quiet in Poughkeepsie, and those
who want TO rejoice viii be glad that the
date has been changed The real reason
is that it was considered unwise by the
railroad company 10 run regatta trains
on the two days preceding July 4, when
the traffic increases. Syracuses uninteT-
rupted good luck this year has had a check
put on Il. Rice, 2, and Hale, o, in the first
varsity boat, are 30 sick that they will
not be able TO row in the big race. Both
men are veterans OF last years winning
eight, and their loss will severely cripple
the Orange eight. What changes Ten
Eyck will make to strengthen the boat
have not been made public, but the SYRIA
cusans have begun TO be respondent
over the loss II Is likely that the four
cared crew, over which Ten Eyok has spent
so much time, will have 10 be broken up TO
strengthen the eight. The story TO the
effect that Georgetown would not row
having been set 10 rest, and the Wisconsin
eight being sure TO come East, the usual
pre-regatta sensations have been qllashed.
All the crews are quietly. at work and there
will be little in the line OF excitement before
the end Of the month. II " likely that

cause the break In athletic relations between
Georgetown and Virginia has been settled
peaoeably. Track games and football
and baseball games will be played again

The original Disagreement In a matter OF
some secrecy, but u u known that an
apology from the Virginians 20 the George
town association set the whole thing right.
The proximity Of the two colleges makes
them natural rivals, and as they are nearly
equally matched In most things the con-
tests are especially spirited. George
Foster Sanford, the former Yale football
player and some time coach Of Cornell and
Columbia, had charge Of the Virginia eleven
last season.
