BY NARROW MARGIN
Georgetown Crew Escapes Run-In
by Tugboat.

But for the prompt action by Coxswain
Kelley of the Georgetown University crew
yesterday afternoon several members Of
the eight would probably have lost their
lives and the shell would have been de-
molished.
The crew was out for its daily practics
on the river and the boys were being
given a good iworkout over the four-mile
course when just as they were passing
under the third arch of the Aqueduct
bridge a tugboat crossed the course and
only avoided running the boat down by a
narrow margin.
Coxswain Kelley say the tug as 1t hove
in sight and gave the command for the
BOYS in the boat to hold" They dug
their oars into the water and succeeded
In avoiding a collision. The tugboat
struck the shell a glancing blow and
scraped some of the sheilac from the
side but no damage resulted.
