On the campus they figure that Cal's chief rivals at Poughkeepsie will be Navy, Columbia, Washington and Wisconsin in the order named Last year Navy won over the Bears by a few feet. Columbia, which fin- ished fourth but had lots of power, has its 1938 crew almost intact and is known a crew that reaches its peak at the end of the season. If coaching records enter into the prediction, California has a definite edge. Bears Win Often Ky Ebright, who was coxswain for Washington in 1917, has the best record of any mentor now in the game. He coached the Bears to vic- tory at Poughkeepsie four times and to the Olympic championship in 1928 and 1932, Ebright took up his duties in 1924, when California was about to follow Stanford’s lead and give up rowing. He found a rickety boathouse, a few inferior shells, and a course where his flotilla was in constant danger of foundering in the wake of the San Francisco ferries. ‘Big Navy’ Man But, like many another statesman, Ebright believed in a big navy and went to work on it. He has boosted Cal’s enlisted strength to an average of 150 men and has enough floating tonnage to distribute old shells to high schools and junior colleges from which he’ll draw his future oarsmen. This year he has an oarsman, 22- year-old Kirk Smith, whom he ranks with the small handful of really great rowers he has known. Ebright always laughs when asked ystem he uses. “We just row,” — - 5 ] Stock QUOTATION ! NEW YORK.

Miss Farges thinks the reason is that the water has become colder. “If it's warm and the seas are calm, it will be much easier, but sometimes the best swimmers in the world couldn't make it.” Miss Farges has trained in Eng- land the last three summers before that in Spain and Italy. A native of Lyon, France, she came to Wooster on a scholarship as a junior and is majoring in English. She has been swimming since she was 5, and has won several continental long- distance swimming events. I don't like a race, though,"” she s. “I like to take my time. I love to swim a long time and I love to swim alone. I swim but little during the winter—the pool here is small and there is not much time—but all summer I'm on a beach.” Her longest grind has been of 10 miles. She came out of the water “not tired, but just frozen.” - ~ FUR EXPERT DUE IN JUNEAU TODAY The Forest Service launch Ran- ger VIII, bearing Petersburg District Ranger J. M.
