latest publication of averages, but the
Saengerbund, by downing the Fat Men on
the latter alleys in two of the three games

Work on the Machines.

The work upon the machines in the base.
ment of the college buildings will continue
for some time, but it is the intention of
Coach Dempsey to get the crew upon the
river as soon as possible, and the work upon
the boathouse may be completed sooner than
expected at the present time, so that the
candidates may be given much of their
early training upon the river, which does so
much more for the development of the new
material than the rowing machine can be
hoped 10 accomplish. The stroke that
Dempsey has taught the Georgetown crews
of the past will again be drilled into the
candidates for seats in this seasons shell
and when the work upon the machines is
begun this week it will probably mark the
inauguration OF what promises to be a most
successful season

Many Candidates.

This season there will be a number OF
candidates, more than the number that
competed for places in the crew last sea-
son. The good showing made by the Blue
and Gray last season has advanced the
rowing spirit in many students of the uni
versity who heretofore did not eVince a
desire to attempt 10 make the crew, but
who have now assured the coach that they
will enter on the work. In view of this
fact, it is more than probable that Coach
Dempsey will have plenty of material to
pick the team from. This season will see
the advantage that crew has when they
have a boathOuse. Work on the Langley
boat, which was bought some time ago. has
been begun, and by the middle of March 1t
is supposed that it will be finished so that
the boathouse can be moored off the shore
near the university, where it was originally
intended that it should be.
Several weeks ago Coach Dempsey had
the boathouse towed to point off Analos-
tan Island and near the Virginia shore, be-
ing nearly directly opposite the boathouse
of the Potomac Boat Club.
Here the coach together with several car
penters, has been busy for some time put
ting it into shape for the reception of can
didates for the varsity crew of the Blue
and Gray. 1t will probably take some time
to complete the repairs on the house but
when Coach Dempsey gets through with it
the crew will have a boathouse that will be
adapted to the needs of the candidates for
