that the race with New York Universe y
on the Potomac May will be a step

time and that being the case the Tigers

for the first time in a collegiate con-
test on the Potomac with Georgetown.

Changes Being Made.

Cne change has been made in the
makeup Of the crew at Georgetown
the past two weeks. Rodriguez, the
former prep oarsman. being shifted to
the second boat, and Power, CT Salt
Lake City. being advanced to the first
boat to seat No 2. Power weighs ten
pounds more than Rodriguez and with
his longer reach should make 4 good
man for the varsity this spring.
Coach Wallis system OF using the legs
in the drive seems 10 be bringing forth
good results, as the last time trial
rowed on the Potomac was faster than
any made at a similar time Of the wear
by a Georgetown crew for five years
past. Captain Fitzgerald has been
pulling stroke all year and though he
has confined himself 10 a 26 o. or 30
IL is expected that when the time comes
to use 8, faster stroke The men will have
been accustomed TO pulling the Vain or
Harvard stroke by shat time and not
only increags the speed OF the stroke
but also tnar of the shell.

Only One More Trial

Coach Vail. Of the Georgetown crew,
announced yesterday that but one more
time trial would be rUwed before the
cual race with New York University
At present the management feels that
unless the 1865 crew shows marked i'm
provement over the form displayed by
the Fights Of the past two years there
will be no Georgetown crew in the an
nUal POughkeepsie regatta next June.
The authorities feel that it is a waste
of time and money to send a crew to
the big college regatta that IS out of its
class. Then, too. the esrense incurred
is much larger than in any other branch
of athletics, the oarsmen spending in
the neighborhoOd OF 5000 yearly. $1,000
Of which comes from their own source
Of revenue at the college. the remaining
5000 being received from the athletic

A Promising Young Man.

Wiley Nagle, second son of DR.. and
Mrs. J. M. Quattlebaum, died Wednes-
day at their home in this city. While
atschool in Greenville several months
ago he suffered a severe attack of
grip from which he never fully recov-

But the immediate cause of his
death was meningitis. He was des-

hope of recovery from the first.
He was less than 18 years, but was
a young man of strong personality
and high character and gave promise
of becoming a most useful man. His
death is great grief to his relatives
and the cause of much sorrow to
many friends. State, %.

When you think of Indigestion think
of Kodol, for it is without doubt the
only preparation that completely digests
all classes of food. And that is
what you need when you
have indigestion or stomach trouble
something that will act promptly but
thoroughly: something that will get
right at the trouble and do the very
work itself for the stomach by digesting
the food that you eat and that is Kodol.
It is pleasant to take. 1t is sold by
