BY II. C. BYRD.

Three races will take place tomorrow
afternoon between crews representing
the Technical High School and the Poto-
mac Boat Club. The first event will be
between the four-oared shells: the next
Will take place between the second Fights
and the first eighth will contend in the
final The first race will be started at
30 Dl. Davidson. superintendent of
schools, will be the referee, and Mr. Will
son, principal of Central High, will do
the starting.
While the Potomac club has generally
been represented by fairly good crews
II Is by no means certain that it will be
able TO win from the scholastic aggrega-
tons. While the Potomac boats will
have older and more experienced men in
them, 1t is not a surety they will win.
The younger men will have the advantage
OF superior condition, as they have been
out on the water much more often during
the spring
The races between the four-oared shells
and the second Fights will be at five
; eighths of a mile, while the senior crews
Will struggle over a mile course. The
lower course will be used
HecoX deserves much credit for his
work in getting out two or three crews
at the Technical High School this year
He has overcome many difficulties in
working out his schemes, but he has put
out crews that have been successful He
cox IS good crew coach. He has at
! tanned success with regularity with green
men, which is the truest criterion of real
ability.
The work of the Analostan crew in the
championships last summer was excel
, lent. despite the fact that ii did not win
and much Of its showing was due to the
bunch of boys who rowed last year are
again out the crew ought to be even
more successful this season.

Jim Thorpe's record for ail-round COM
| petition has been broken. In the meet
| held yesterday at Princeton University
] Thompson. a former western college man,
J beat Thorpe's mark by "a close margin.
| After three of the events he was many
points behind Thorpe. but it was not long
/ before he was on even terms with the
great Indian. 1t was in the field events
| and in the hurdles that Thompson scored
/ enough points to more than even up the
! score. In the half-mle walk he did much
/ better work than the former Carlisle
| star, also.
/ The following is a comparison of the
! marks set by the two men:
