With the exception that there still ex-
lists q remote chance of a dual race taking
place on the Potomac late in April, the
Georgetown University crew schedule is
complete as above. The full list was an
nounced yesterday by Manager Byrnes
Immediately on receipt of communica-
ton from the stewards of the Intercol-
legiate Rowing Association that the Blue
and Gray entry In the POughkeepsie re-
gatta would be accepted. This entry has
already been forwarded, and for the first
time in three years the old six colleges
are again programmed for the recognized
classic of the American colleges.
The schedule differs but slightly from
the ones that We're in force during the
previous administration of Coach Demp-
sey as mentor of the Blue and Gray Boat
Club, and it is easy to discern that he
has balanced it in way which has been
proven to be most beneficial. After work
ing the men into shape for the class races
early in April he will pick his Fights and
train them continuously for the big events
which are to follow. At first it was in
tended to arrange a dual match on the
Potomac with some eastern college crew,
but at present writing the chances for the
accomplishment of this are decidedly
slim, although future circumstances may
make such a. contest possible.
After two months of hard training on
the water it is believed the men will be
in excellent condition to row against their
old rivals at the Naval Academy, and 1t
is to be noted that they will be In Tar
better shape than ever before, since In
the past the races with the middies have
usually occurred early in the year. The
distance here, two miles, will suffice for
a severe test of the local sweep handlers,
while the fact that the race at the Amer
lean Henley will be much shorter Will
allow them to rest after the Navy races
rather than enter any harder training for
the Philadelphia regatta.
The Henley event will mark the cul-
mination of rowing for the year for both
the props and the second crew, and from
then on the varsity will enjoy the undl-
vided attention of the coach. In this re-
gatta the varsity will in all probability
enter in the race for first Fights, and
Judging from entries in the past, the Blue
and Gray will be matched against Har-
wards varsity and one or two club crews
The second local crew will no doubt be
against the Pennsylvania and Cornell
junior Fights. while the props VIII DC

Exactly five weeks will elapse between
the AIll6IlCdH L1clllCy IiiO ou5h-
keepsie regatta, during which period the
eight varsity men will experience the
hardest work Of their training. OF this
time, about three weeks and a half will
be spent on the Potomac, and the rest on
the Hudson. 1t is hoped that shortly be
fore the crew leaves for the Hudson a
number of time trials will be possible on
the local course, with the Potomacs and
the second crew each pacing the varsity
for two miles.
The candidates for both the varsity and
prep Fights still continue to improve. The
squad is also becoming larger with the
ending Of the examination period. Coach
Dempsey is now endeavoring to fnstill
form into the men, together with getting
them into first-claSs condition, and that
he is meeting with great success is gener-
ally conceded by those who have watched
the candidates at work on the machines.
From the lookout at present the varsity
will average considerably above Ito
pounds, which weight is much heavier
than has been the case in the past.
