Next Saturday.
By KIRK c. MILLER.

Giving washingtonians their first
glimpse Of the Potomac crews under
actual competition this season. Capt
John Evans has arranged a semi-closed
regatta for Saturday. June q. In which
all OF the Red and White boats will
be seen In action and In which the
Junior double Junior four and junior
eight of the Analostan Boat Club may
also participate with similar crews Of
the Potomac. The races will be held
over the full mile and one-quarter
course, the regulation peoples regatta
route, which ends almost in front Of the
Potomac Boat Club float, also In full
view of Aqueduct Bridge. and the finish
will be within the vision OF a huge
throng which is expected to NIL both
places.
Rules OF the National Rowing Associ-
alton permit boats of two clubs to COM
pete in trial spins and both Coach He
cox, OF Analostan and Coach Thrall, OF
Potomac, are anxious to take advant-
age OF this liberty. in order to see their
respective charges under actual comDe-
tition. Hecox held closed races on the
Potomac two weeks ago in which he
drew his first opinion of his protoges
and another closed regatta viii probably

lads away to the Peoples Regatta. IT

The Potomacs have attempted nothing

the club. its alma mater and followers

tions, lined up against some other
crews.
The junior eights. Junior fours and
Junior doubles of the Potomac and Ana
iostan institutions are the ones which
are expected to oppose next Saturday.

ence Hecox with a proposition by which
these shells will race. Hecox expressed
himself as willing to enter his boats

George Koppen, age 20, runs a

Cascade foothills. Tony GardinO
is the Beau Brummel of the town,

Last week Koppen tried to

The old man caused the young

Tony got out on bail and came
