keepsie Regatta-Track AthIeteSto Leave
for jamestown Thursday

Coach Russell. of the GEORGETOWN
crew, is using drastic measures these
days in the hope of developing ex-
traordinary speed in the makeup Of the
eight that is to represent the Blue and
Gray at POughkeepsie, June 26-

those who made the crew last year.
have been replaced by oarsmen who can
boast of more weight. IL is the opinion
Of the coach that these heavier men
may be able 70 pull a stronger oar, and
thus strengthen the chances OF George
town in the college regatta. However.
the real makeup OF the crew win not
be decided until two OF three days be-
fore the big race. though the coach Will
have a line on the men he is going 20
use week or more before that time.
Ten Men for Poughkeepsie.
Manager John Stuart announced yes
terday that no more than ten men would
be taken TO Poughkeepsie the latter
part OF next week. From these Coach
Russell will pick eight regulars and two
substitutes. The utility men will be Sc
lected from those who can row either on
the port or starboard side OF the shell
In case Of necessity, though. Stuart
could be shifted from his regular posi-
ton TO one of the other seats, as ne is
an experienced Oarsman, and can row
on either side OF the boat.
The makeup of the boat as il now
stands is as follows: Stroke, Fitzger-
aid; No. :, Captain Rice; No. 6, Stuart;
No. Q. Foy; No. 4. Woods: No 3, Muir
ray; No. ?, Cronin; No. I. Chapman. La
Plante has recovered from his illness.
ana is once more out for his position In
the boat. La PIantc was a member Of
the eight last year. and is considered
one OF the strongest men in the boat
when in the best OF condition Reilly.
Lynch, and Tyghe arc the other men
who still have a chance to make good.
Lynch was on the crew last year.
Easy for Varsity Eight.
The men went over the four-mfle
course on the Potomac yesterday after
noon against the second eight, which
was Reinforced by Tom Nell and Ca
mario, members Of the 1905 crew. The
latter only stayed in the race for two
miles, and in this time were beaten five
lengths by the regulars. The showing
was most encouraging to Coach Russell.
and, though the time for the four miles
was not made known, II was thought to
be as fast as was made last year.
