Two Blue and Gray Crews
Will Compete in Henley
Tomorrow.
DECISION OF BOARD
DEPENDS ON RACES
Should Representatives Perform
Creditably, Sport May Be
Continued.

Two Georgetown crews, Props and
Freshies, left for Philadelphia at noon
today to take part in the Henley re-
gatta tomorrow and interest is rife
at the West End school regarding the
chances of the two Fights, for there
is but little doubt, should the result
of their competitions be unfavorable,
rowing at the Hin Top institution will
be doomed.
The last is the paramount item in
the current conjectures, as for sew
eral seasons aQuatics at Georgetown
have been on the wane and with the
departure Of the crews today the sport
is on the ragged edge and only a
brilliant performance by at least one
of the Blue and Gray entrants viii
tend to brighten the present dreary
prospects which the Hill Top oars
men are facing. In the past, George
town held a respectable position in
the world of aquatics. but for the last
several seasons, hampered both by
lack of funds and a limited amount Of
good material, the Blue and Gray
representatives have been lamentably
weak. This does not apply to last
seasons Prep outfit, for it is doubt
fuI whether the West End school has
ever developed a faster younsster
crew.
Twenty-Five oarsmen left at noon for
Philadelphia, all brimful of confidence
that both Fights would land ahead in
their respective classes. The Freshmen
eight is particularly promising. Nearly
all the members OF the boat are gradu-
ates from the crack prep crew last sea
son. and work much more in varsity
style than any other freshmen crew
ever turned out at Georgetown. From
the recent crials of the props they like
wise seem pTimed TO The minute, and
many have already conceded them the
scholastic championship of the country
over the Central High eight, OF Phiia-
delphia, ana the Baltimore City College
outfit.

CONTEST IS SETTLED,
MATHESON Is, WINNER
Withdrawal of Packard and Complaint Against 1t De
cides Iie-Result Adds Another Victory
to Matheson String
BY HARRY WARD.

The controversy as to the winner of
the class A cup for big cars in the re-
cent reliability contest of the Automo-
bile Club Of Washington, which has had
the local automobile world by the ears
for the past week. has at last been
settled. The Luttren Company, entrant
of the NO. Packard, has withdrawn
the car and William Or1ne, /entrznt of
No. 1S Matheson, has withdrawn the
protest he filed with the American Auto
mobile Association against the referees
decision. holding that the Packard
should be penaIized but four points.
The effect Of this settlement is TO
make the No. I3 Matheson, which was
piloted by w. B. McBurney, the winner
of the top notch class, while second
honors go to the No. 20 Matheson, en-
tered and driven By James Orme. The
winner had a perfect road score and q

ception CT the loss OF four minor body

Some Absentees.
Billy Hibbs, the dandy little short

The Century team is composed OF a
younger element than that which repre-

vantage in youthfulneSs was Offset by
the Stitching of Preston Gibson. A high
school boy filed a vacancy in right
field for the Nets, and another held
