In 1911, the four Szebeny brothers left Pannónia and founded the Hungária Rowing Club. In 1911 and 12, they won the national title in coxless fours. At the 1912 Olympic Games they failed to reach the final.

During World War I, György Szebeny was a member of the Air Force in Fischamend. Szebeny graduated as an engineer and specialized in airplanes. In 1921, he won the first prize in the category of school airplanes. When training in 1925, two tragic accidents occurred which put an end to the production of the aircraft. After World War II, Szebeny settled down in München and died there.
