Dempsey VIII Again
Coach at GeOrgetOwn
Other Universities Were Anxious to Land
Veteran, But He Has Signed Contract to
Remain Here Another Year.

A deal was closed yesterday whereby
Coach p. A. Dempsey Will again be in
charge Of the crew which viii represent
Georgetown in the intercollegiate re-
gatta at Poughkeepsie next year.
Ever since last June, when the Blue
and Gray eight drove its shell down
the four-mile course on the HUDSON
ahead Of Columbia, Pennsylvania, and
WISCONSIN,. and finished third, but il
sCant length behind Syracuse, the win
ner of the year previous, Columbia and
another university nave been casting
Wlstful- eyes in the direction Of George
town in the hope that they might in
duce Coach Dempsey to take charge of
their oarsTnen.
Columbia Fooled.
For a time there were idle rumors
that Dempsey would forsake the local
institution. but two weeks ago the re-
port crystallized into ii definite an
nouncement that the veteran coach
had signed contract with Columbia
Last week Manager Frank Hayes made
a flying trip to Washington from his
home in Connecticut, and after a con-
ference an agreement was reached
which binds the coach to Georgetown
for another year
From the standpoint of perfected
Craftsmanship the Georgetown CREW of
last June was undoubtedly the most
hnlshed eight that ever sponsored the
Blue and Gray. Casper Whitney. the
WeIl-known college athletic authority,
VINO has always been somewhat bitter
toward Georgetown in his writing, gave
Dempsey the credit Of having developed
the finest eight, with the exception Of
Cornell, that sat in shell during the
past season This opinion was ex-
pressed by many other rowing experts.

In the general discussion of the com

win because Of his rugged constitution

1t IS argued that the hardihood of the
Dane will enable him 70 stand off the
native son for forty rounds or more,
and that at the end of that time he
will have enough in reserve to land a

Old Subscriber writes that the storm
Of yesterday is easily explained. 1t was
the aftermath Of the birthday celebra-
ton Of Willy GauI the day before.
There was no doubt something would
happen after WHY'S layout that day.
1t included a red necktie that would
make an Italian sunset look like Lon
don fog. n pair of socks just twice as
red as the necktie. a phony diamond
ring whose weight was estimated in
pounds instead Of Carats. a ditto scarf
pin. bottle Of champagne, and a misceI-
laneous mixture of mixed drinks which
mixed up his language until he began
in English, shaded into German. and
finished in a gurgie of Platt Deutsch.
