After a meeting of the executive board
o. the Georgetown University Athletic
Association. which consumed an hour
ard a half yesterday afternoon. 1t was
finally announced that the varsity crew
would be suspended as a contender in IN
tercollegiate competition for one year.
The reason assigned for this action was
hat the finances of the association were
in such a state that the maintenance of
the sport would prove a big burden and
might serve as too severe handicap on
the other departments.
This decision practically marks the
passing of the rowing game from the cur
ricuIum OF the sport calendar at George
town. Although it may be found possi-
biz TO resume activity on the water next
year, the additional handicaps imposed
by the dropping of the sport for a whole
season may prove SO great that a resump-
ton of interest will he almost Impossible.
The only thing th1t can now interfere
to save the boating is the assistance of
the alumni. and help from that quarter
seems to he very unlikely at this time.
The action of the varsity, of course.
means that no prep crew VIII be put out.
According TO the plan now advanced an
interclass regatta viii be held in the
spring after which the boathOuse Will he
closed until the coming year. Whether
any one will be engaged to take charge OF
the oarsmen is probiematicai, but the
fact that expense was ,,, .he cause a OF .ba, h.s
the rowing enthusiasts will be left to
shift for themselves.
Manager Resigns.
Following the vote OF the board Man
ager DALEY handed in his resignation. TO
take effect immedia tely. Action was de-
J ferred on this until the meeting of the
board a week hence. by which time the
members will have had ample opportunity
| 10 make q choice of a successor.
| The suspension of the crew and the
| probable abolition at this time comes not
so much OF a surprise as a reSrettanie IN
| cident. just about ten years nave elapsed
| since .hc sport was flrst lhausuraeu al
| The scjool. During that decade the eghts
| that have gone out have competed with
1 some success and much failure. but
through ii all the university has received
unstinted praise for the manner 1t stueh

! caps under which 1t worked.
/ The fruits OF these ten years were prob
/ ably lust about to be realized on as 1t is
admitted that never before has the equip
/ r1ent OF the boathouse and the material
| been SO good as at present. Every plan
was laid by the management Tor an
| economical but representative season, and
every indication seems to have pointed to-
| ward success. But the committee found
that the lack OF funds prevented actual
work being done without debts being
created and accordingly held back its ap-
proval OF these plans.
Students Disappointed.

much disappointed by the action, and
much adverse comment was heard last
