REGATTA CALLED OFF.
Technical High Rowing Events Will
Take Place Monday Afternoon.

The regatta that was scheduled. to be
held yesterday on the Potomac by the
Technical High School was postponed
until Monday evening on account of the
rough condition of the water. Coach
Hecox, who made all Of the arrangements
for the regatta, decided that it would be
better to call the races off rather than
to endanger the lives Of those who were
to have participated.
A large crowd was present among the
throng being Supt. Davidson. who was to
have acted as'referee DR.. Davidson went
over the course In a motor boat. along
with Coach Hecox and several others,
and all were of the opinion that the
water was unfit for boat races.
Despite the condition of the water the
Technical eight took short spin for the
benefit of the crowd. After this a dance
was held. the Technical band furnishing
the music.
The program for Monday will be some
what changed. as several more races will
be added, and II is expected that large
crowd will be on hand. The feature race
on the program will be the race between

mixed crew OF Analostan seniors and
