was one OF the best players on one Of
the strongest foot ball teams that school
ever had. His work In both branches Of
sport was exceptional. and critics were
loud in his praise after nearly every event
in which he took part.
There were two features in the trial
race rowed yesterday by the Analostan
Club crews. One was the work of the
intermediate four, and the other was the
event in which Nevius and West met in
the singles. The four went over the
course like a championship aggregation.
while the race in which Nevius and
West took part was SO closely rowed that
no decision was rendered The shells
crossed the finish line the first time al
was rowed over several times the same
result was obtained. The event had to
be called off finally because Of darkness.
The junior fours started their race by
having a mix-up. but when they went
back to the starting line for the second
could be desired. They went down the
course well together. and there was not
two feet difference in the shells when
they finished.
A communication has been received
from Mr. Dana Wier Of Fort Washing
ton, Nd, who states that the base ball
team representing that post desires to ar.
range contests with uniformed mines OF
Washington for Sundays. Those who de-
sire to make the trip would do well to
communicate with Manager Wier.
Georgetowns decisive defeat at the
hands OF Princeton yesterday was entire
ly unexpected. 1t was not thought that
the Blue and Gray would be defeated by
though that is just one Of the surprises
of the game.
incidentally. the defeat Of Georgetown
is likely to keep 1t from mighty high
ranking among the other collegiate teams.
The Blue and Gray had two victories owed
Princeton previous to yesterdays loss
and there is no doubt that had 1t won a
third it would have been entitled to
call for the collegiate championship.
Cornell Is being talked Of by the north
ern critics as the interconegiate cnam.
pion. and Georgetown split even with it
earlier in the year. And even now the
local university will be entitled to more
than ordinary notice. as 1t has a record
far above the average.
Notwithstanding that Ninth seems to
be having a harder time winning It's
games in the East Washington Sunday
School League this year than in previous
seasons, It would be pretty safe predic-
ton to say that the Christians will be IN
front when the season closes The games
there are other clubs superior to last
years champions. which probably viii be
shown before the season Is much older.
It is more than likely that Boyer, v.ho
is rowing on the Analostian crew, and
who played tackle for Technical High
last year. will enter Cornell University
next fall. 1t was stated last night that,
according to present Intentions. Boyer
will be out on the water working out
under Courtney with the Maroon crews
when the 1914-15 season starts.
1t is probable the Analostan Club will
be represented in the National regatta
by double. Hardy and Boyer are row.
ing In that shell at present, and their
work has been consistent and good.
The intermediate crew, Of which Coach
Hecox speaks so highly. is composed OF
Hardy, stroke: Hahn. No. 8; Boyer. No.
2, and Roberts, bow.
An interesting bali game took place
between two National Guard organize
tions yesterday. the Company team OF
the second Infantry defeating the Range
