perienced canoeists in the District. includ-
ing members of all the various boating or

The Broadwater has been selected as the
most suitable place In the vicinity of this
city upon which to hold the q al meet
of the association, for the reason that 1t is
a broad expanse of still water, picturesque
in appearance and furnishing an abundance
of shade for oniookers. The site Is also
easy OF access from the city, being reached
by the Washington and Great Falls electric
railway in few minutes from Georgetown.
and is within less than two hours padding
distance from the lighthouses on the local
river front. Special privileges on the Ches-
apeake and Ohio canal have been obtained
for members of the association desiring to
pass through the locks.
The regatta committee expects this to be
the greatest event In this history of canoe
ing in this vicinity, and that it will result
in the placing OF caoeing on par with
other aquatic sports in this section. from
the standpoint of the real sportsman
The following schedule of events has been
arranged: Novice single, novice double. as

FIGHT TO RE-ESTABLiSH
FOOT BALL AT COLUMBIA

Intercollegiate athletic circles Of the asst
are much interested in the fight to ra-
establish foot ball at Columbia University,
either this fall next. There is every rea-
son for the belief that this will result sooner
or later. After foot ball was suspended by
President Butler last December "A commits
tee of twenty-seven men was appointed for
the purpose of rearranging tia whole
scheme of athletics at Columbia and deeid-
ing on some substitute for foot bali. The
three committees were selected. one from
the UNDERGRADUATES one from the alumni
and one from the faculty. 1t a fore
gone conclusion so President Butler
thought, that two of these committees. the
alumni and faculty, would support him in
his fight against foot ball
But there has been slip up and the conn.,
bined committee. which is to make a
port to President Butler, Is In favor of re-
establishing the game. The alumni conn
,nittee has already decided TO vote for foot
ball, though 1t does not favor taking up the
game until 1907. When President Butler
receives the recommendations Of his own
committees to permit foot bali Il is hard To
see how he can consistently oppose it. Gers
tainly he will not be put in any more en1r
barrassilg position than Was Presldene
Eliot of Harvard when the board of over
aaers overrede him and permitted the glinc

charges and welding of the lances. In the
tal-end race the contestant occupies the
extreme stern of the canoe and faces the
stern. The boat must be moved in the d.

CLOSING THE SEASON OF

forging to the front, and now stands in
second place. With but two matches yet
to finish. and the chances good for draw

If the ''B'' boys would wind up next to the

Interior "a" with one unfinished match
with Justice) is In third place. In this
match "a has but one game yet to play,
ard if Justice wins this event, the final
score will result in a draw. Should "a
win. however. and should ''B'' make good
in her two pending matches, the two In
terior percentages will be tied. This is
close enough to suit the most exacting:
The printers. too, have mxde a strong pull
lately, and there Is only a difference of 40
points between the second and fifth teams.
In their last match. with Navy, the ecore
is: Printers, 3; Sailors, o; with three games
yet to play.

Gated is now: Interior "A" 9; Justice, l.;

NO EAST AND WEST
FIELD AND TRACK MEET

1t Is now evident that there is to be no
dual track and field meet between the east
and west this year. The east has virtually
backed down. and does not care to risk its
reputation in an intersectional meeting. The
east got out of the difficulty by stating
that If the west wished to try its skill II
could come to the eastern championship,
which was merely another way Of lodging
the question.
What makes the attitude of the east all
the more peculiar Is the fact that this sec
ton could take care of itself better this year
than ever before. while the west is undoubt-
eddy weaker than heretofore. All the dual
and other meets held so far have demon
strated that in nearly every event the east
has made better records than the west and
would probably win such meet il it We're
arranged.
The only hope OF the western men to Sc
cure meeting next year is to issue a chal-
lenge to the Eastern Association. This
would compel the rather timid l. c. A. A. A.
a. to give the west a meet or admit itself
afraid of the issue.
