The Potomac Boat Club will endeavor
to be represented in more lines of ath-
letics than rowing, if the action taken
by the organization last night bears
the right kind of fruit. Joseph T.
DAILY, former star basket ball player of
the old Carroll Institute quint and
oarsman and sculIer of marked capa-
bilities, has been elected to the direc-
torship of athletics, a position created
with his selection.
The Potomac Club intends to get up
a track team, a basket ball five and
bowling quint. The track squad will
be entered in all the indoor meets this
water. while the bowling and track
teams are to be pitted in match games
against the best opposition that can
be obtained in this vicinity. The club
will put forth strenuous efforts to build
I'D strong combinations in each of the
mentioned sports, besides the usual
work on the water. In other words, it
seems that an effort is to be made to
put the Potomac Boat Club among the
strongest general athletic organiza-
tionS in the south.
