STRONG OPPONENTS
! FOR CEORCETOWNC CREWS
Varsity Meets Harvard and
Quaker Clubs, While Props
Tackle Clever Fights.

According to advices received from
the stewards Of the American Rowing
Association of Philadelphia this morn
ing. the Georgetown Varsity crew will
compete next Saturday against two
other Fights. one representing Harvard
University and the other being a COM
bined boat made up of members of the
Philadelphia and University Barge
clubs. The Harvard representatives
will be the junior varsity boat, and
besides rowing in the race for first
Fights it will also contend in the junior
collegiate event.
The local prep crew will compete in
the race for interscholastic Fights
against Central High of Philadelphia
and the Baltimore City College. Both
OF these latter crews have been en-
tered in this race for three years, the
former even having a longer record
Most to be feared is the Central High
boat, which has won the event more than
any other school ever entered. This eight
rowed against the Plebes at the Naval
Academy on the same day as Columbia
rowed against the Navy first eight, in
which race 1t was closely watched by
Coach Dempsey. From all reports the
men In the boat are big lads. and it is ad-
mltted that the local embryos will have to
row their hardest to gain the honors.
The two Blue and Gray crews were sent
over the mile course yesterday at full
speed. the varsity giving tens all the way.
The new combination seems to work ex-
cellently and from the time snatched at
the trial last evening 1t would seem as
though 1t was considerably faster than the
eight which met defeat at the hands of
the Midd1es. Both the varsity and props
will have their last hard row this after
noon. only racing starts being in the order
Of work for tomorrow
join NJ. Power of Helena, Mont, will be
the head of the Georgetown University
Athletic Association next year. His nomi-
nation for that Office, which was made
by the incoming seniors at meeting yes
t. rday, has met with general approval
among the students and there seems to b.
little possibility that another candidate
will be put up. the custom usually is
to allow the class selection to be elected
unanimously, SO that it Is more than like
athletic association next Sunday Power
will be elected to the Office without op-
position.
Power came to Georgetown three
years ago, entering freshmen. Since
his naturalization he has always taken
keen interest in athletics. and In 1908
he succeeded in making a position in
the varsity crew which rowed at Phila-
delphia. He was a member Of the sec
ond crew which rowed at Annapolis
has been promoted to the first eight, so
that he will be one of the men to row
at the American Henley at Philadelphia
next Saturday.
Leo Joliet OF Alliance. Ohio, and AL
bert Flume Of Palatine Bridge, n. Y,
were nominated at the same class meet
ing for the offices OF secretary and
treasurer. respectively. and, like Power.
they will both probably be elected by
the general association by unani-
nous vote. Joliet has been Identified
with both foot ball and rowing at the
Hilltop school. while Flume was a
candidate for the gridiron team last
fall Both choices have met with ap-
prevail by the student body as a whole.
The freshmen and sophomores are ex-
pected to make their nominations for
the assistant managership either today
or tomorrow. Both classes are playing
waiting game, each wishing to know
the others nominees first. The race for
these Offices. unlike the three execu-
tive commissions. promises to be every
bit as warm as 1t has been for the past
two years.
