 But" Jones said, q am sure that Ue shall have a very hard fight for | think that Great Britain has got together her strongest team in years. 1 myself have been playing very well, I suppose. but having played a lot of golf l don't like to say too much about that. l have not played for th,te weeks how ever and got only a little practice on the boat. We shall sec how we shape up when we get down 10 hard practicc.'
 Jones would not commit himself on probable pairings of his men in the foursomes. The junior member Of the team. Donald Koe. evidently was thrilled over his first visit to England The responsibility thrown upon us by the golf association rath- CT frightens me- he said, but I'm determined to play my very best. know I'll have q wonderful time.

 While this IS far from conclusive proof tha' the current far west var sltIes are anything like half min Dte better than the California az grFgation that set a record at PougH keepsia and won the Ol1mpic title. f indicates that they may turn oul t0 be in the sane world beatin-. class The east will find out q oughkeepsie
 Washjngtons junior varsity time also improved upon the mark las. made in that event on Lake Wash lngton and ifs freshmen, although Icafing 10 victory by seven and s half lengths, were only about nine seconds back Of the figures 10. 1923,
 As for the campaign in eastern waters. the indications are that none ot the boats launched so far is up 10 the Columbia varsity cre,v O. last year although in general the standard Of rowing speed IS above Edi anu LOI| p' U iIpIl lS keen.
 Yale showed f had one of the best eight5 in this part Of the coun- try when Ii trimmed Columbla's present entry in the after. sunset race on the HoUsatonic Saturday but II could not come up 10 the Nev Workers time ot last year which stands as regatta record,
