FAVORS ROWING SCHOOLS. Coach Guy Nickalls Believes it Will Develop Weaklings to Men of Strength. Guy Nickalls, the Yale rowing coach, is a pronounced advocate = of rowing for schoolboys, believing that it will develop them from undersized weaklings to men of strength. This he considers is proved by the case of the English schoolboys who are bene- fitted by participation in the sport. In speaking of the subject he said: “I was from a physical standpoint an excellent example of what rowing could do for an undersized weakling. At twelve years of age I weighed only seventy pounds. T began rowing at fourteen, when at about eighty pounds in weight and steadily gained in weight until at twenty I weighed 170. I am an example of thousands in England of what regular rowing exer- cise will do for an undersized boy. It also has the advantage of other sports in that a lot of rowing exrcise can be put through in a very short space | of time, so that it will not interefere | in any way with the studies. “School rowing in England is, it is generally agreed, a greater factor in | the physical development of vouth than any other exerecise so far culti- vated. The chief schools in England which make a specialty of this form They |Of athletics are Eaton. Rusby, hrewsbury, Redford, Beaumont which are situated near suitable wa- ter for this purpose. So far as statis- tics can be relied upon no heart or lung trouble, or permanent muscular strain. can be directly attributed to that it haswbeen generally recog- nized in England, at least, that since the exercise of rowing makes use of and develops every muscule . in the rowth and to develop th chest and Zenerally benefit the growing vouth than any other.

For some time motorisis have been eset by unes and have biamed them either on the magneto or the carburetor. The most common compiain was backfiring in the carburetor due {o pre-ignition. Wires not only carry electric current from point to ~oint, but they will also throw off, under ceriain conditions, electricity, even though insulaied. and this static diecharze, when stored in sufficient quantity, the vicinity of the motor of an automobile, will cause pre-ignition. When this takes place in the cylinders on the mpression or inlet stroke, tire resui: i+ = disagreeable knocking, and, in i . case, back- firing in the carbure i To overcome this tivuuie engineers have placed a copper plate just over the cylinders connected in such a way that it counteracis this static discharge from the wires and eliminates the trou- ble that has been puzzling automobile engineers and drivers for so long a time. in the use of a 1,500 pound truck in the transfer business, George D.
