Club of Alexandria was chosen treas

The Southern Rowing Association is an
organization formed last winter at d
meeting of representatives of clubs of
Richmond. Alexandria, Washington
and Baltimore. Its purpose was to
promote and control rowing in this
section.
The Potomac Boat Club and Analos-
tan Boat Club, for various reasons not
necessary to state. refused to join the

the Analostans. will join before the
holding OF the second annual regatta

II was announced that the track and
field meet held at the Virginia Poly
technic Institute every year would take
place on the same date as the South

The Maryland State College foot ball
schedule is just about as difficult as
any school in the south will attempt
and probably it will tax to the utmost
the powers of the MarylanderS to
make the right kind of a showing. The
list of games carries out the general
athletic policy at State, which is to
effect agreements with representative
institutions of other states.
Princeton, Penn State, Navy and
North Carolina y. and NJ. will be the
most difficult elevens to be faced by
the Marylanders. For one OF the Dig

or three games with teams in its own
class is considered rather dangerous,
but Maryland State not only viii play
four teams heretofore out of its class.

rival of State.
An arrangement with Penn State has
been effected which embodies consid-
erations for 1918. and an understand
ing has been reached with the Univer-
sity of Georgia for game in WASH
ington in 1918. State was compelled
to decline games with many institu-
TONS but particularly regretted its IN
ability to agree upon a mutually sat
