COACH VAIL IS SECURED
Athletic Association at Blue and

from Philadelphia AIumni-PrOs-
poets for Good Eight Brightest IN
Years-Prepx Begin Work Monday.

Tie prospects Of having a visiting crew
at Georgetown have assumed a much
roster air since It was announced that
Harry VAN, the ex-Cambridge oarsman,
viii have charge OF the Prep sweeps
again this season
II Is generally understood that some
prominent alumni OF the high school.
elated over the successes OF last years
Prep eight. have agreed 10 stand the ex-
pense Of putting crew On the river in
1903.
As Ven coached both the varsity and
Props last year, It Is believed that since
he has agreed 20 have charge OF the lat
10 coach the varsity candidates
The expense entafled IN keeping two
crews is not much greater than one, and
as the Blue and Gray alumni Of Phila-
delphia are especially desirous OF seeing
the Hilltoppers enter an eight-oared
sweep at the American HeTley. II is be-
lieyed that they viii be willing TO supply
the necessary expenses for this trip.
If Georgetown does put a crew on the
river this spring, K is very likely that
Princeton or New York University, 10
take place on the Potomac. As the funds
Of the athletic association are in very
depleted condition. it is very certain that
the Blue and Gray squad viii not be
sent TO Pougbkeepsie 70 compete in the
intercollegiate regatta
The prospects OF turning out a crack
eight are very bright at Georgetown. as
there are number OF veteran oarsmen

this season. while Capt Daily, Crumpf.
