way mark Coxswain Railey's call to hit
it up was answered and this heavier and
steadier pace set by the locals turned
in the victory.
William e. Boryer, of the Analostan
Boat Club, gave the splash of his scull to

the field and gradually pulled away until
he had eight boat lengths OF open water
between his scull and Ralph A. Adams,

heart-breaker for the local public, as both
the Potomac and the Analostan crews

mark had been reached, this race seemed
to be anybody's, but at this point the

of rowing that has been witnessed here
in long time. Taking first honors in

back one hour and a quarter later and
landed a victory in the intermediate gig.
Quite a few OF the local fans were
surprised when Coach Stohl sent this

confidence in his crew was we'll worth
while as they gave their splash to
