TRAINING FOR BOAT RACES
MYRTLES AND HEALANIS HARD
AT WORK.
Both Clubs Have Quarters on the Pen
Manufacturing Evenly Now Although
Myrtles Have Better Form

Myrtles Have Better Form.
The final training for the annual
boat races on July 4th is now in pro.
gress at Pearl Harbor. All four OF
the crews have settled down to the
hard daily grinding of pulling the
course for an hour or so every after
noon. In all four of the crews the per.
sonnet has been finally completed and
unless something unforeseen occurs the
seniors and juniors will race according
to the assignment determined on yes
terday.
This year there will be only two boat
clubs represented, the Myrtle and the
Healant. Both clubs will have a senior
and junior crew entered in the two
events. If the races were to be pulled
off today it would be a difficult task to
pick the winner in either event. This
state of affairs is not so much that the
crews are evenly matched but the fact
that the men have not gotten down to
the proper form which it is expected
/ the next nine days between now and
the races will give to them. The Myr-
ties are rowing i'm slightly better form
however than either of the Healani
crews but iuasmuch as the former have
been at the training quarters a week
/ longer than the Wearers of the blue and
/ white this difference is not SURPRISING
There is very marked disparity in
the weights of the senior crews this
year. The MNrtleS will be much lighter
| than their opponents. The average
weight of the Myrtle seniors is 1870 I-5
| pounds with CONsWains; Healanies is
l52 20 pounds. The difference in weight
of the Juniors is very slight, the Myr-
ties averaging lll pounds and the Hea-
lanis, l42 pounds.
The positions and weights of the vari-
Gus crews are as follows: Myrtles-
stroke, Sorenson. 125 pounds No. 3,
Soper 152 pounds; No. =. Lishman, 145
pounds; bow, Albert Judd, 1852 pounds.
cOXswain, w. Milton Alvarez, so
pounds.
Healani Seniors-Stroke, Jarrett, 1863
pounds; No. g. Renear, us pounds; No.
,, Fred Damon. ZAP pounds; bow, Sam
Walker, 1855 pounds.
Myrtes Juniors-Stroke, A. Giles, 146
pounds; No. 3, Giryin, 129 pounds; No
,, Armstrong, l45 pounds; bow, Lyle
l44 pounds: coXswain, Lincoln Wheeler
II pounds.
Healani Juniors-Stroke, Webster
lao pounds; No. 3. Tracy. 1872 pounds;
No. 2 Murray, 146 pounds; bow, Wal
colt, 100 pounds.
The Healanis have not as vet posi-
lively determined upon their coXswain.
Charlie Reynolds who steered both
crews last year, may be selected for the
coming events but it is still a matter of
doubt. He weighs 1111a pounds which
is regarded as entirely too heavy for
a coXswain. Reynolds has excellent
Judgment in race but it is doubtful
whether his experience is sufficient to
off set his superfuous weight. He is /
trying to train down however and NAV !
succeed in reducing sufficient flesh to
warrant his being placed in the boats ;
There is another candidate for cox
swain however in the person of "Toots"
Lansing. His weight is 95 pounds. I'm
less Reynolds gets down to a reason
able weight Lansing will be substituted
for him.
The Myrtles went down to the PENN
sula June Sth. They have the hand
some cotta"e of Mrs. Clarence Macfar-
lane. These quarters are much better
than the Healani's living place. Still
the blue and the white have been nicely
chartered in two cottages of Miss
Anna Paris since June 10. In the rou-
tine the training of both clubs is prac-
tically the same The members of the
crews go down from work on the late
afternoon train and from about 6:15 to
I:l5 they put in rdAing. Dinner is
served about 7:45 after which the men
rest and lounge about their quarters
until $3.50 when taps are sounded. There
s no roWiro in the mornings except on
sundays when the Healanis go out for
heir daily spins.
Albert Judd the captain of the Myrtle
Tub is coaching both crews, with the
assistance of Arthur Wilder and others.
Captain Judd deserves credit for the
manner in which he has brought his
men around to form. They are pulling
| good steady stroke of about rs to the
f,I, On
squirting. The Healanis We're rowing
lbout the same yesterday, increased to
a in squirting.
James Lloyd the captain of the Hea-
ami seniors last year is coaching the
Iealani juniors this season. Yesterday
vas his first visit to the training quar-
ers but that he will put out a good
rev is certain. He seems well salts
led with the material of his crew and
great things are expected of them. This
rev is quite striking for nearly all of
hem are six feet in height.
The advent of F. w. Klebahn as
coach of the Healani's seniors was most
gratifying to the friends of that or"ani-
zation. He is recognized as one of the
most competent and thorough coaches
in these islands and in his methods
ne has a system which is highly effec-
i've. He spares no criticism and while
I develops the best that is in them.
Captain Jack Atkinson is, as usual,
working constantly for the interests of
mis- crews and if the boys capture the
races this year it will be in no small
degree due to his efforts
In the matter of substitutes the Myr-
ties are better prepared than the Hea-
Ianis for the reason that their extra
men are staying with them at the train
Ing quarters and are getting into condi-
ton along with the regular crews
With the Healanis Spencer, Boisse and
Lloyd are about the only substitutes
but these men with the exception of
Lloyd are not at the training quarters.
Walcott was to have rowed with the
juniors but he sprained his writs and
Tracy had TO be substituted. Mclean
sthe substitute for the Myrtle juni-
Ors and Martin for the seniors.
The Myrtles have been unfortunate
recently in the matter of sickness. All
but Judd and Giles have been laid up
coll hot on ati.,n III aN..F,sl
