Year at Georgetown: tracking football and track decline
Georgetown faces a lean fall after a mixed athletic year. The football squad, under graduate coaching, lost key players Duffey and Reilly will be unavailable, while the track team highlighted by Edmonston and Duffey showed initial promise before setbacks. Baseball saw Cromley’s suspension and later reinstatement as pitching duties frayed the rotation. The rowing season disappointed with losses at Annapolis and Poughkeepsie, prompting calls for broader participation and dual meets to rebuild strength.

Old Boathouse at Georgetown to be Removed
A fitness to relocate the Georgetown College clubhouse and adjacent property obstruction near the river led to court action. President Daugherty ordered demolition and transfer of the outfi t to the Great Falls ice plant as lawyers and officials argued over riverfront rights. The 1852 boathouse, once owned by the Columbia Athletic Club and later Georgetown, will be replaced with summer use and a future clubhouse above Poushkeepale.

Cornell Captains 1905 Track Team Romanesque
A Cornell athlete, after winning the two mile intercollegiate and lowering his time, is elected captain of Cornell's 1905 track team and will resign when he goes to England. The International Meet between Oxford Cambridge and Harvard Yale is seen as very close with expectations that the Americans may win but the outcome hinges on the 100 yards and quarter mile races and uncertain results in high jump. An Oxford alum predicts Cornwallis with Oxford should win the half mile, Cambridge Gregson the mile, Churchill the two mile, Clapp of Yale the hurdles, Shevlin of Yale the hammer, and Ox ley of Yale the long jump.
