TOO CHILLY ON RIVER

The Potomac river oarsmen, like the peach
crop. are suffering from slight frost bite.
The few days of keen. biting winds and the
damp. frosty air which occurred the early
part OF last week did much to check the
enthusiasm. 1t was too cold and too windy
for the frail craft to be on the water, and
tho devotees OF the art had to content
themselves with sitting at the boat house
and discussing the prospects.
The season was opened most auspiciously
last Saturday afternoon. when the Naval
Academy crews repeated their action OF last
year and defeated Georgetown in double
race. The contest was a splendid one: a
glory to the winner and no dishonor to the
loser. Both crews. speaking of the two
first crews were OF the highest order ana
the navy only proved the better in the final
squirt test
Georgetown's first crew was slightly han
dicapped on account of the sickness OF
Neil, who was taken Ill before leaving
Washington on the Friday before the race.
He arrived in Annapolis and was unable to
eat q single thing until Saturday night
after the race was over. Neil stood his
suffering wonderfully well and 1t Is safe to
say that many more than the majority of
oarsmen would have keeled over under such
circumstances.
But in spite of this. navy's victory was
well earned. A huskier. snappier crew was
never seen anywhere so soon In the season.

rowed on the Severn. The time fast

1t had been rumored, and the George
town authorities are hot after those who
set the runor afioat. that II Georgetown
lost at Annapolis there would be no blue

Dempsey said after the race last Satur-
Gay mat II was a gruellng race, and al

he is proud of the race his crew rowed.
AS soon as Director of Aquatics Zappone
returned from Annapolis he thought 1t
would be well for the Georgetown authori-
Ties to state their position as regards the
Poughkeepsle trip. Consequently he went
at once to consult with Rev. jerome Daugh-
erty. S. ]. Mr.. Zappone announced after
the consultation that, Georgetown will sure
" have crew at Poughkeepsie" and he
quoted the words of President Daugherty

pie have never done anything in halves
Since we have begun this season we shall

well and as gracefully as most colleges
can"

land title is proved to be clear. Once the

OF governors of the Potomac Club 1t was
decided to apply for the middle states re-

found.
At the last few times the middle states
was held in Washington the governors Of
the association were highly elated over the
Potomac course. The only trouble in local
rowing circles Is the finance question. In
cities like New York Boston and Philadel-
phla (and now Baltimore comes with a do
nation of 2.40O -fnr q regatta), the munich
pal authorities set aside so much each year
for the promotion of aquatics. Here the
Potomac Club must bear the most of the
burden, sharing Il with the generous sports
manllke citizens Of Washington.
The new lieuterantS of the club, although
unable to get the crews out during the past
week, have nevertheless, been canvassing
among the new members and getting all
their applicants for the crews under some
sort of regulations. Second Lieut.. Heth
is to look after the junior oarsmen and he
is expected to get up fast crew in time
for the American Henley. Lieut.. Gordon
Is to work with Capt. Mueller with the
senior and intermediate classes and the
crews will soon be called out for the real

this year to give two or three of the pop

At the Analostan house the hull was felt

Flushing the Motor.

Whenever the machine is brought In from
a run the cylinder should be flooded with
kerosene and the motor turned over few
times by hand to clean the heavy oil from
the walls and leave a layer of thin oil on
them. This prevents cumming and per-
mits of free movement OF the pistons when
starting again. One need not fear too
plentiful use of kerosene In this way, for,

The Analostan members are happy to hear
that their river mates the Potomacs have
applied for the middle states regatta for
Labor day, and they assure the Potomacs
of lots Of assistance. The race Is too far
of for the AnaloStan Club to take any Of
fetal action in the matter but if the club
as a club, receives the idea as well as the
individual members do. the Potomacs need
not fear. Those members who have con-
sidered the matter favor the middle states
regatta even more than the national. They
say that the middles states has races for
all classes of oarsInen, whereas the national
deals only with seniors and Intermediates.

number are juniors, and they see that the
