times, if he is new to the road, he will
get out his compass.
Eventually, after the burning hours
of midday have passed and the sun
has dropped behind the flaming crests
of the mountains, suddenly become a
vivid purple, the long grade up the
mountains to Skidoo points to the end
of the journey. After the auto stops
penting in front of the general store
hotel-assay- office town hall, if a little
reckoning is taken it will be found that
25 miles an hour and sometimes more
has been the general average for the
desert junket. This, over no roads and
right slap through the wilderness, is
pretty good time.

EXPERTS PICK;
AMERICAN CREW

NEW YORK, Oct. Flames Pink
ington, president of the National Asso-
citation of Amateur Oarsmen, and Ju-
liam w. Curtiss, treasurer of the Am
erican Olympic committee, will have
the important and difficult task of Sc
lecting oarsmen to compete at the Eng
lish Olympic games next year No
such delicate job has ever fallen to the
lot of two men on this side of the wa
ter, but it is universally admitted that
they viii prove equal to the task. Pix
ington has a wide acquaintance among
the rowing men all over the country
and he is shreWd and experienced as to
the merits of the sweep pullers, On
the other hand Curtiss stands high
with the college men and if they work
the right way there should be no trou-
BILE in picking a first-rate crew. AS
far as the conditions of the Olympic
regatta stipulate men can be selected
from all over America, but they must
be bona fide amateurs and not the least
question about their status.
The entry of the crew or crews will
have to be made through the Olympic
committee, Of which Pilkington and
| Curtiss are members, and no entries
will be received from private individ-
uals or clubs. For a number of years
an idea has been knocking around in
rowing circles here that a picked crew
from America could go over and de-
/ feat the Leanders or England's best.
/ Now comes the opportunity, and those
/ who want to see the theory threshed
out welcome the advent of the Olympic
regatta on the Thames. There is no
objection to pick of the whole United
| States, and from the hints dropped now
if an eight is sent it will meet the best
crews in all of Europe The Belgians
holders of the Grand Challege cup al
! Henley, cannot row for the trophy next
year, and it has been intimated that
they will be on hand for the Olympic
meet; so will Leander, who seldom or
never let's any big rowing event pass
without being seen on the starting
line. OF course, the opposition to Am
erican boating prowess will not be con-
fined to these two crews, for doubtless
the big colleges, schools and rowing
clubs will have representatives at the
affair.

CHICAGO, oct. 2.-Thc coming ath-

predominant at college and profess
sional training tables.
With remarkable evidences of the
severe muscular train which the vege-
tartan can undergo, Professor Stage
has issued advice" to his men to put
aside the tempting roast and the juicy
chop in favor Of fruits, vegetables,
nuts and milk.
1T has been proved very conclusive
ly that under certain types of muscu-
lar strain the non flesh eater shows far
greater endurance than the athlete who
eats flesh" declares Coach Stagg. 81
myself have tried the vegetarian diet,
and it works wonders"
Stagg is furthermore backed by Cap
tain Leo De Tray of the football squad.
who dropped meat months ago and de-
clares that he has cured himself of
many ailments.
1t was within the personal expert
ence of Stage that a startling evil
| dence of vegetarian strength was
shown when Granger, the Battle Creek
athlete, did the squat" 5000 times
For that many times he lowered him
self to the floor and arose to a stand
ing position, breaking every endur-
anCe record of the kind.
Stage is not going to conduct a
training table on vegetables. But he
is going to advise" and usually his
suggestions ego" with the men who
want to make the team.

Stops at Dwelling Places.

There are some stopping places
along the road where men exist pre-
cariously. These the chauffeur may
strike or run by in his method of fol-
lowing only a star course through the
painless desert. If it happens that the
man at the wheels spies the simmer
of a tin vessel or picks out the low roof
of some shack Off the edge of a hill
he will turn off the course and chug-
chug up to the dwelling place of one
of these marooned people of the dry
land. 1t may be only to pass the time
of day.
When our chauffeur takes the road
again he of course assists in a bull by
