But other days will come-days of
blue, vernal skies, waters bathed in
mellow sunlight, river banks lush
with reed and grass and green
meadows stretching away. Herein
lies the poetry of rowing. and when
you add the Zest of competition you
find lure that keeps young men
working in boat and on rowing ma
chimes month after month while their
classmates lead lives of comparative
tdlenesS.
Outlook Is Bright.
The outlook for 1925 is one OF great
promise so far as aquatics are con-
cerned. Nearly 80 important regattas
have been arranged. beginning with
the annual Pacific coast regatta on
the Oakland estuary this year and
eliminating in loud and spectacular
crescendo in the great fourmile events
on the Hudson at Poughkeepsie and
the Thames at New London.
With the Navy eight likely to en-
ter at Poughkeepsie and entries as
sured from the West coast and from
Wisconsin, the Poughkeepsie regatta
Will be marked by the presence of
seven varsity eights, representing
widespread sections. When the Hud-
son River race is booming then all
moving feels the influence. This be-
ing so, intercolle giate sweep swing
ing this season is likely to expert
ence its banner year.
Action will start in California when
Washington and California meet to
decide which shall come East to row
at Poughkeepsie. Then on April 2S

The Middle Atlantic body will for
mally certify its 1925 tournament to
the Maryland Country Club of Balti-
more and will select dates for this
years event, at the same time pick
ing a course on which next years
tournament will be played. The
Washington Golf and Country Club
will bid for the 1925 event. according
to DR.. James T. McClenahan, chair
man of the green's committee.
While the District Golf Association
has no direct jurisdiction over the
club events held about Washington
each year, 1t has been the custom to
set the dates for the Spring events
at the annual meeting of that organ
ization. The District association
really has direct power only to set
dates for the District amateur cham
pionship, the Junior championship
and, with the cooperation of the pro-
fessional association, the open cham
pionship of the District. Members of
the Women's Golf Association OF the
District will meet at the Willard the
afternoon OF April to set dates for
the women's events about the city.
The Spring tournament season in
and near Washington will be one of
the heaviest on record, according to
the present lineup, with six local
clubs seeking Spring dates and with
two dates already selected by Balti-
more clubs for their events, while the
Middle Atlantic Golf Association
championship will come along at the
end of the Spring schedule.

SiuD.
Town and Country Club and Con-
gressional Country Club are the two
clubs which will seek Spring dates
this year which did not hold Spring
events last year. Washington prob
ably will start off the season with its
annual tourney. but whether that
event will be held during the first
week end in May or the next week
end has not been decided.
Upon this decision will hinge in q
measure the dates for the other tour
neys, for Washington is usually ac-
corded the privilege of starting the
season. If Washington holds it's tour
will conflict with the Gibson Island
tournament. which has scheduled an
event for May /. and ).
r. Lee Slingluff of the Maryland
Country Club is scheduled to be pres
ident of the Middle Atlantic Golf As
socia tion, with DR.. McClenahan slated
to be vice president.
Tom Moore. president of the Indian
Spring Golf Club. is In line for the
presidency OF the District Golf Asso-
citation to succeed Herbert T. Shan
non OF Columbia The association
probably will discuss a proposal TO
charge a membership fee of SO TO
clubs on its roster. There Is no mem
bership fee charged at present, the
only income of the association being
the $3.50 charge for entrance tees
which last year did not raise enough
money to pay the cost OF prizes.

Leo Larribee of Holy Cross stands

Emerson Norton of Georgetown ap-
pears to have the edge on the high

two or three or four command equal
regard as possible champions.
And because of the closely matched
fields the battle for the team cham :
pionship adds another interesting 9
phase to the proceedings. Yale, Penn

Princeton are equally confident of
the team victory, but the scrap is by
no means confined to those Ave in

aspect of which nobody but l knew.
After I had squared the match on
the thirty sixth we halved the first
extra hole and went on to the second
extra, or thirty-eighth.
This hole is about $50 yards long.
You drive over hill about 40 yards
from the tee and. catching the slope
beyond, are apt to get a good roll
leaving you with a short pitch to the
green, which is an island affair, trap
ped all around.
1 got a very good 26o-yard drive
straight down the center, but Chick
sliced pretty well to right, his ball
coming down in the midst of the
gallery. 1t hit some one and then
stopped on a nasty down-hill side-hill
slope, $50 yards off the green.
1t was very bad lie and 1 was not
surprised when Chick. on his next
play, fell short of the green and
landed in one of the deep protective
traps. To add to his bad luck, his
ball found deep heel print.
To me it seemed that 1 now had
the match in my bag.
This looks easy TO me-" / told my
caddie.
My lie was not bad, although it was
| bit down hill and the ground was
almost bare of grass. But 1 was
anxious to be well up to the flag and
| not in that trap with Chick. To do
| this 1T was necessary to cut the ball
| sharply. In some way 1 failed to
perform my job perfectly. 1 pitched
to the far side of the green and the
ball went handsomely over into a
trap at the rear.
Had the pitch been only a few
| inches shorter, would have held the
green. AS it was. the match now be-
| longed to anybody.

But there Is an unsatisfied banker
ing among them for the good, old
American competitive thrills-a chal-
lenge here, some jockeying there,
pace-following here, pace-setting
there, spurts, maneuvers, etc, and
the mad dash of the bulk of the
field in the last lap or last few yards
of the race. Such thrills have been
few and far between this season.
Tomorrow night, however, things
will be different. 1t is the date OF
