Georgetown Crews Pinned for
Final Test on Upper
Potomac.

The Georgetown University annual inter-
nesday. October %. on the upper Potomac
course. 1t was originally intended to have
it come of Saturday. but the faculty re-
quested a change Of date in order that 1t
would not interfere with the retreat which
is to be carried on the last three days of
this week. The distance to be rowed is
the same as that at the Philadelphia Hen
ley. one mile and $50 yards.
There are three crews entered-the
seniors. sophomores and freshmen. The
juniors were compelled to withdraw be-
cause Of the smallness of their class. Of
which quite a number are playing foot
ball.
OF those entered. the most likely looking
bunch are the seniors. They have In their
boat six men and the coxswain from their
last years winning eight. OF these two
are old Poughkeepsie men. while their
captain and stroke had rowed for two
years at Philadelphia on the Blue and
Gray Henley crews. Most of the other
five have been at the sport since they en-
tered college. an6 have become very pro-
ficient handling the sweeps. With such a
bunch this class should be able to carry
off first honors. although the other classes
say that If they do they will have to work.
OF the other two classes not much is
known. and the general opinion Is that
they are pretty evenly matched. Last
year the sophomores came in second, and
a good one at that. OF that crowd they
still have three men and their coxswain.

but they have been working hard since
they went on the water and should be
able to give good account of themselves
The freshmen are composed of almost
all green men. Foley and Heger. the
first of whom is captain, had a little ex-
perience with the props last season, but
it did not amount to much. What they
can do is a puzzle, as they are most
secretive of what they made in time
trials. but those who have seen them row
goods. If there is a black horse. they
are it, and they will be closely watched
in the race by the student body, as
every one thinks that they have a prize
package up their sleeve.
