F Washington doesn't become “aquatic conscious” this Sum- mer it won't be the fault of John A. Remon, general chair- man of the President’s Cup Re- gatta Committee, and his live- wire associates. In an effort to further enhance the attractive President's Cup racing pro- gram already outlined, Remon this week will call the Capital's entire wa- and, for the first time in the his- tory of the racing classic for the big- eared gold rowing and cance races will be in- cluded in the pre- Although one of America’s out- standing speedboat spectacles, the seventh Fresident's J Cup Regatta will be so arranged -/ that, instead of Washingtcn mere- ly playing host to the country's racing stars for two days only, it will be the scene of almost a complete week, set aside as “District Aquatic week. I ber will be stretched over three days, Thursda; September 28, and the following Friday and Saturday. Preceding this week end will be an ex- tensive swimming program conducted in various pools in the District. The running of the three heats for the coveted President’s Cup will, as originally planned be held September 29 and 30. Thursday will be devoted entirely to sculling and canoe races. ‘The President’s Cup race will be held on the Georgetown Channel and the | rowing and canoe program on Wash- | ington Channel. | Remon this week will line up a com- mittee composed of Washington's most astute and enterprising aquatic leaders and so attractive is it hoped to make | the motorless portion of the regatta that virtually all of the crack bladesmen of | the East are expected to compete | against the best crews of the Potomac | and Washington Canoe Clubs. Thus the 1933 President’s Cup Re- gatta will have an appeal for all species of water enthusiasts, in additicn to the color and glamour which attracts the interest of the veriest landlubber.

Hardhead, trout and bluefish are being hooked in large numbers off 8. W. Middles, located in Chesapeake Bay 12 miles out off Point Lookcut. Two dif- ferent parties fishing at this place the other day landed 70 and 94 blues, re. spectively. Another grcup returned late the same day with a catch of 300 blues. ‘The water seems fairly alive with blue- fish and they are on the surface all day long. Trout of unusual size also are being caught on thece fishing grounds, the largest reported last week weighing 10_pounds. Down at Wachapreague, Va., A. H.

Early in the 90s residents of Georgetown were disturbed in the late hours of the night and wee small hours of the morning by the sound of saw and hammer. In- vestigation disclosed a band of doughty young enthusiasts building a new club, the first local organiza- tion to be devoted to all forms of aquatics other than rowing. The building they created was an ex- cellent forerunner, but in no wise resembled the fine clubhouse of today. Not without cause do members of the Weshington Canoe Club glee- fully glance over their club’s prowess in various flelds. On the mat the club has earned laurels through such fine gladiators as Bud _Havens, who once gained the Southern amateur heavyweight championship. Brother Bill Havens was another to gain, in addition to boxing honors, recognition as &n amateur wrestler. In 1924 the Washington Canoe Club was sig- nally honored by ha its crew designated to repr-? United HE same spirit and determina- tion thet marked the forma- tion of the Washington Canoe Club in the early 90's States at the Paris Olympics. Its bowling teams repeatedly have been factors and winners ot the National League championship. In swim- ming the old Washington Canoe Club’s team once was the Capital's standout, and members of the club still talk of their classy track team which successfully competed against George Washington University, the old 5th Regiment of Baltimore, the Meadowbrook A. C. and many of the outstanding runners and teams of the East. The last two years also have been successful ones for the Washington Canoe Club Its paddlers were vic- torious in 1932 in both the Middle States Canoe Racing Association championships and the American Canoe Association national cham- pionships. In the tank the club's water polo team this year won the D. C. A A. U. championship from such outstanding clubs as e ‘Washington, Shoreham, Ambassador and Alexandria, as well as tying in matches with the crack Baltimore Y. M. C. A team. This year the club’s hopes run high for winning the Delaware- Chesapeake Division A, C. A. re- gatta, to be held off Hains Point on July 26; the Middle States Canoe Racing Association races at Phila- delphia, the club’s own open regatta at Georgetown and the national chu;:flon‘hlp at Chicago.

Crock, a member of the class of "33 | at Princeton University, has entered his 33-foot multi-step hydroplane, Bet- ty III in the sweepstakes, which is open to any single-motored craft. The Betty 11T is the former Rowdy, a dis- placement craft which Victor Kliesrath of South Bend.
