Supplee is a picturesque athlete.
He towers among giants. For years
he has been a leading member OF the
Potomac Boat Club, an expert oars
man and star tackle on the Potomac
football team. Before becoming ac-
tive in the rowing club he was o
powerful lineman on the Tech High
eleven. Now he gives promise of
ascending the heights in bowling.
Quite Gridironer.
When sensational performances Of
the last football season are the topic.
Supplee comes in for mention by
virtue of his work in Potomac's bril-
liant 7-to-0 victory over the Wash
ington Canoe Club. The big fellow
many times ripped the canoests' line
wide open. When called back to
carry the ball he tore down the
field like a mad bull, dragging tack
lers with him. 1t seemed that never
less than three paddlers were cling
