How He Whipped Nelson.

You know wearing yourself out punch
ing fellow like Nelson is just as bad as
getting lot of punishment. When you're
tired you might as well be weak from
taking the beating. When you're tired
you're all in anyway, even if you haven't
been hit. So i began making Nelson do
all the work. I'd take a step and make
him take three or four. He was always
coming in. Then in the clinohes I'd let
him push me around while / rested He
has all sorts of dirty tricks. He fixed his
hair up some way so ii pricked and cut
like wire. In every clinch he dropped his
head against my neck and chest and
rubbed his head around. My chest was
raw and bleeding, and every time he used
his head it hurt like being scraped with
sandpaper. He was always fighting foul

fouled me at least fifty times, but that he

Both crews of Georgetown will be quar-
tered at the Bachelor Barge Club during
their stay in Philadelphia. and the two
boats were shipped yesterday in order
that they may be all rugged and ready on
the arrival of the students today.
Coach HecoX and Coxswain Thrall o.
the Techs will leave this afternoon for
Philadelphia. as the coach desires the cox
swain to go over the course. The crew
will leave early Saturday morning for
Philadelphia. arriving in time for dinner
and a rest before the race. Their row.
ing yesterday down In Potomac Park
showed decided Improvement. and
caused the entire crew and coach to feel
somewhat confident of themselves.
All o. the oarsmen and boats will re-
turn home Saturday evening.
