June 1.—Intercollegr iate eight-oared rowing is a much faster proposition these days than it was 16 years ago, and Al 'Ulbrickson, coach'of the University of Washing- ton's national ehamplons, 'll ‘why. His answer: “Condition, equipment and mnu scientific application on power.” . His explanations: “Kids are in much better condition these days, probably ‘because they don’t get worked so hard. When I was rowing (1924-35-26) they used to send us all around the darned lake on- long rows. Now we don't row quite sp much, and when we h-ve 2 time trial, the kids have more ‘kick’ left. “Equipment is; undoubtedly better. Oars, shells, oarlocks, rigging—all have been improved over what they were 15 years ago. “I think our system now i§ more scientific. When I was rowing we took a much longer reach. Now we've shortened the reach and man- age to get more power with less exertion and with smoother execu- tion.” STREET CAR IS 10 BE LIBRARY EDMONTON, Alta., June'17 — Al street car lbrary will begin Dper- ating in Edmonton in Septembet Old No. 14, out of use two years, will be reconditioned, . its seats 2,000 books, The tram library wi _Martha Wit wheeled her way several years 2g0 as University of Alabama cheer- .W. 1s the kind of girl who's al- ! ways stirring up something wherever boys' poxing team at Cofaco school, where she teaches mathe- maftics and physical education. “We first started the matches durinz a phys ed class,” ex. | moved and shelves , installed for|Martha Witt, 100 pounds of vitality. recent “But the fights got so popular :we vistt outlying ditricts and “park”]organized a school team.” while the motorman leaves the car{ Coach Burleson exhibited her ten | mage in car of a librarian.
