line on the different candidates for the
Georgetown varsity crew, and he has
now ventured to pick an eight which for
the present viii be the varsity boat.
There have been many surprises and
changes made ell along. and until yes
terday none Of the positions could be
counted upon as having a sure occupant.
But for the past week the following eight
men have been rowing together and their
general form as justified the coach in
making il the varsity eight.
The positions are as follows; Stroke,
Cunniff; No. 2, sDailey; No 6. StOhlman:
No. .. COultry; No. 1, Murray (captain);
No. 3. Lansan; No. p Joliat; No. /, Car
roll, and Coxswain, Kelly
Barring accidents, this crew VIII now
row in this order until the first race
against the navy in about three weeks.
Then, IL the men come up to expectations.
It is hardly possible that any changes
Will take place before the American Hen
ley races and later on the Poughkeepsie
regatta. Consequently, the personnel of
the crew at present picked will hardly be
changed during the season.
This crew is composed of a fine lot OF
husky men, and besides their fine show
ing on the river so far this season, they
are easily the heaviest crew that has
ever represented Georgetown. At pres
ent the average weight OF the eight IS
about les pounds, while the height Of the
men is close on to five feet eleven inches,
and they are tall. raugy fellows and able
TO get a long powerful stroke.
Cunniff. who is stroking. is power
ful fellow Weighing Ito pounds. He sets
an even stroke and always has the
strength 10 hit it up al the finish. Al
though he is one of the shortest men in
the boat. he has a long reach and Demp-
sey considers him a very valuable man,
because of his experience in the prep
school. when ne strolted the embryos.
who won the prep championship at Phila-
delphia two Years ago. Behind him is
Daley, another man who knows no end
10 taking punishment and VIII stick 10
the last. He weighs TO pounds and
stands about five feet ten inches. He
was one of the first to take 70 Dempsey's
stroke, and because Of his fine physical
condition he viii be well able 10 stick
a grueling four-mile race TO the finish.
At No is Stohlman. who is one Of
the taHest men in the boat, standing
about six feet one inch, and tipping the
beams at liz pounds. He rowed on the
freshman crew lest year. and with his
great strength and reach viii certainly
do his share when It comes 20 a race.
Next is equity, a law school man, and
a former member of the Potomac Boat
Club, where he gained his experience.
lie has weight, height, and experience.
and is a top-notcher Capt. Murray IS
rowing at 40. l. He is the only old man
IN the boat who has ever rowed at Pough-
keepsie, and this experience alone is a
great factor in his favor. Then. too. he
has been over the four-mile course in an
actual race, and this test shows that he
will be able to hold up his end Of t..
Murray's height is It. 10 In, and weighs
l67.
Langan IS another man over six feet.
and although he is not so heavy, he
pulls an even stroke and has shown a
great deal OF skill in handling the oar
Ills weight Is 162. Joliat is the lIghtest
man IN the boat, but one Of the gamest
and cleanest Oarsmen in the lot In fact,
it IS his skin alone that put him on, as
many considered that because of his
Weighing only 156. he would never make
good. He has had q great deal OF ex-
perience, both in prep school and also
while at college during the past three
years
Carroll, at No. ], IS a good man for the
bow position, and although this is his
first year at rowing. he has taken natur-
ally to the game. and Dempsey thinks he
has a good man in him. He is six feet
and weighs 164. Kell. who was coxswain
two years ago, has again made this po-
sition on this years varsity. His small
stature favors him greatly. and he keeps
the men going continually.
Taking this eight as a whole. It looks
TO be able 10 hold its own against any
thing It will so up against this year.
and river men say that it is the best
crew Georgetown has ever had.
Those rowing in the second boat are:
Stroke. Carr; No. :, Crosby; No. 6. Sfc-
Quail; No. 8, Mccormick; No. !. Powers
and Corcoran; No. 5. Neidham and
NI4bSAAiAtAs w VI sLllc44ls NJ L rIdun-
helm; cOxswain, Kingsley.
This crew, while it IS not much inferior
TO the varsity, lacks the skill and uni
fOrmity Of swing and motion. It is even
heavier than the first eight, and will no
doubt give them several hard tussles
during the racing season on the Potomac.
Powers Is worthy Of mention in this
boat The big fellow weighs more than
10 pounds, and many thought he would
make the varsity, as he rowed on It two
years ago. At the critical period though
lie has gone stale, and Dempsey has been
forced to put him IN the second boat.
Coach Dempsey will use a launch from
which TO coach the men this week. as
the engine has not as yet been installed
In the Collier launch. In case the Poto-
macs get out on the river this morning
az the same time as the varsity, It Is
probable that the two will come together
for a little race.
