Foot ball more popular than ever
during the past season, and rarely has

| local acknowledgements and George
| Westinghouse was shown upon the grid
| iron last fall.

much praise was given to the work OF Coach
| Crowell. Stevenson again captained the
| team. The first game was played against
the, Navy Yard team, in which the Buff

Boating.
| Canoeing was more popular than ever
|
Canoe Club has fiourished, and is now one
of the foremost in the country. The Poto-
mac Boat Club had very successful sea-
son. The regatta in the early fall was the

in the outcome of the junior eight-oared
| race between the Potomac and the AnaoS-
! tan crews, In which the former carried off
| the honors by few feet and broke the rec
ord for one and one-half miles. The single

attracted much attention. The races held

Basket ball in the District last season was
almost a complete failure. Very few of
the teams in the leagues of the city played
up to standard. In the Washington City
League a rupture developed in the latter
part of the winter and the Corcoran Cadets
| five withdrew after having first place
cnched, as it had defeated all teams in the
league. The schedule was later resumed,
| and the Ordway team won the honors
| The Corcoran Cadets team played indie
| pendent games after their resignation from
| the league. The team also took northern
| trip and played six games but won only
| two. The boys We're considerably handi-
! capped by the long travel between games
| In the Congressional League the T. and l.
| Fraternity team carried off the honors
