PREPs AND FRESHMEN UNITE
First Step Taken in Forming Com
bined Crew.

The plan to combine the GEORGETOWN
props and the college freshmen into one
crew took definite form last night when
the rowing men of the two sections met
and completed organization TO be
known the Georgetown Freshman
Prep Rowing Club. Those who were pres
ent at the meeting were Messers. Cunniff
Daley, McQuail. Brady and Kelly, all of
whom were members of last years cham
pionshp prep eight. These five. of whom
four are oarsmen and one a coXswain.
along with Joe Ryan. ex-manager of the
Props, will constitute the executive board
of the new association, membership to
which will be open To all freshmen and
props wishing 10 try for the combined
crew.
Vincent DALEY, eN-captain of the Props,
and veteran of three years, was elected
manager of the new crew, while Michael
Cunniff, stroke of last years speedy eight,
was accorded the coveted position of cap
tain These two will have charge of the
forming of the boat, the first mentioned
handling the business end while the lat
ter will do the generalship work. Capt.
RYAN however, of this seasons Props
will be given the duty of getting out the
candidates from his department.
When the faculty director of athletics
was asked his views on the scheme, he
replied that if both of the interested de-
partments We're willing, the combining
could be done as far as he was concerned,
and also stated that they could row as
representatives of the school in any
race that was open to them under
the title F'reshmen-Preps. This sanction
on the part of the faculty is big boost
for the promotion of the plan, and. in
getting ii, a great obstacle has been over
come.
The next thing that has to be obtained
is the permission of the prep and var
slty Athletic Associations, which will have
TO be granted before races can he arrang-
ed President Gaynor of the preparatory
yard, when asked his views on the sub
Ject, was Inclined to be against it on the
grounds that it was not giving the stu
dents of the lower department fair show
TO make seat in the boat. The error of
this assertion having been pointed out
to him. he consented to call a mass meet
ing of the embryo collegians for tomor-
row evening to vote whether or not the
props would enter the alliance 1t is en-
pected that many arguments will be adj
vanced on both sides before final vote
is taken and it is hard to Judge whether
or not the decision will favor the combi-
nation
If the Props do give their full con-
sent. it will next be up to the promoters
to get permission from the varsity man
agement to row freshmen under the
Blue and Gray, and also to use the asso-
cations shells and oars in training and
in the race. 1t is thought that this will
be readily given. the new crew would
be just the thing to carry the sport over
until another spring, when it is thought
rowing at the hilltop school will again
be put on a firm basis. In case, how
ever, that the alumni come forward with
enough aid to put a representing boat on
the water this spring. the alliance plan
would be all off. as the freshmen would
have to row with the varsity.
