BOATHOUSE GOSSIP.

The first step toward securing the an
nual championship regatta Of the National
Association OF Amateur Oarsmen OF
America for this city was started Wednes-
day evening at the meeting of the board
Of governors of the Potomac Boat Club
The meeting was held at Its clubhouse,
In West Washington. and on the subject
coming up for discussion the almost
unanimous sentiment was expressed that
the year 1910 was most propitious for the
holding Of the monster regatta here on
TIA Potomac river, that the successes of
the past affairs tended to show that the
people OF the National Capital were de-
sirOus OF seeing this great regatta pulled
off here and that from reports received
the club felt warranted in going ahead
with arrangements.
The officers OF the local association
were instructed TO secure the option of
the regatta from the national executive
committee. as ii was known that the New
England Rowing Association was going
to make fight to secure the prize for
the Charles river at Boston.
In order to secure certain substantial
facts IT was agreed to hold a special meet
ing Of the club the first Thursday in De-
cember, when the action taken Wednes-
day will be formally ratified.
This action OF the Potomacs is a COM
mendable one. and should meet with a
hearty response from our two leading
civic organizations-the Board OF Trade
and the Chamber of Commerce-as they
are constantly urging on all national or
CARNATIONS to come to Washington for
their annual meetings. II Washington
secures the International aviator meeting
and the Potomac Boat Club secures the
national regatta, our city next summer
will have plenty OF sport to keep II on
the jump. for like the aviator meet. SO in
the same way the rowing affair will be OF
character, as crews will be
here from every section of the globe.
1t means an output Of something like
81, 900 to So, 500 to finance the entire affair
through to a success. and the raising of
that sum of money means that every in
dividual member of the club will have to
buckle down. get in working harness and
boom the affair from now on until the re-
gatta is pulled off next august. 1t Is
two-day affair. and the oarsmen present
will represent the bone and sinew OF the
rowing world.

good, and 1t is, reported that he il tearing
off the miles at a great rate.


The wrestlers are now getting down TO
business and a very strenuous season Is
in store for them. Among the Journeys
son are those OF the National Guard, Y.
NJ G. A. and Carroll Institute. Wash
ington Is particularly strong in the wres-
Ting line. with good teams at George
town. Gallaudet Y. NJ. c. A., Carroll In
stitute, Holy Name and Memorial Ath-
letic Club. AS Baltimore is also strong
in the mat game, with teams at the
Doyle A. G., the Maryland Swimming
Club and the Y. NJ. G. A, as well as at
several of the smaller organizations, sew
ranged. Matches OF this nature should
be big drawing cards and prove very
popular in both cities.
DR. NJ. E. Harrison manager Of the
Memorial Club has announced that this
club will hold several closed bouts
throughout the season.
The athletic boom has struck Washing
ton Grove so heavily that the Grovites
have decided to form second relay
team. 1t will probably be selected from
Eddie Swing. Clarence Rose. w. B. Rob-
ertson Claude Owens, F. V. Vaulk and
Jack Lanham. The latter is newcomer
from one OF the northern schools, and
has been touted as a good one in the
he has to show him. before he gets a
place on the team.
Lectures which should prove OF great
interest to athletes are now being given
every Monday evening at the Y. NJ. c. A.
building. DR. Greene. the lecturer. is
much interested in athletics, and his
talks will bring out some helpful pointers
with regard to the proper way to train.
At the Y. NJ. G. A. contest Wednesday
night Stratton and locke again came
out ahead in a majority Of events. Capt.
Stratton won this contest last year. and
bids fair TO repeat again this year, al
though Locke Is a good one and will
make him work for Ii. The results are
as follows: 45-yard dash, won by STRAIT

Foot Ball Players Should Be Mum
bered.

There is a growing feeling throughout
the country among those who have made
the matter a study that one Of the most
needed reforms In foot ball is a system
Of numbering players. This Is necessary
not only for the spectators who pay
enough to see the game intelligently. but
also for officials. There was time when
the players wore no headgear, and II was
possible for regular attendants at foot
ball to identify them. but that time has
gone now. and 1t Is not stretching the
truth much to say that the coaches them
selves have difficulty III recognizing their
own players in modern foot ball arms-
ment. And II the coaches have trouble
to know who's who, what must be the
difficulty OF the spectators? As a matter
Of fact, the spectators have long since
given up the unequal struggle TO learn
who makes the runs. who makes the
tackles and fumbles and who kicks the
goals.
The solution of the problem Is so sim
pie that IL is q wonder 1t has never been
solved before. This solution Is the num-
bering of players. just as 10 done I'm Eng
land, and also In our track and field
meets. In England the public would no,
tolerate team whose members did not
wear q double set OF numbers on the
front and back OF their uniforms BY
reference to a program the players are
recognized and followed with the great
est ease. There Is no reason whatever
why the same thing should not be done
I'm this country.
Not only is this an innovation OF bene-
At to the spectators, but II Is likewise
beneficial to the players and officials.
Any foot ball player wN bear testimony
to the fact that no matter how careful
or familiar with the players the foot
ball reporters are they Invariably wrong
ly identify players in carrying the ball
Credit is given to the wrong man for
carrying the ball. making a touchdown
or a tackle. This is because II is impos-
sible To identify the players. But with
a system OF numbers all this trouble
would be speedily obviated.
Several prominent officials have told
the writer recently that they would well
come such an innovation. Every one
knows that IN the excitement OF a big
foot ball game II sometimes happens
that the officials fail to note that for
ward passes are taken by men ineligible
to receive them. But. having no means
OF identifying them. officials are frequent
~ fooled completely. A system of num-
hers would correct this at once
