NEAR CONDITION
COACH TREL0AR Is ROUNDING
THEM OUT
ATHLETIC CLUB BOYS CONTINUE
HARD WORK
Training Period Is Remarkably Free
from Injury to Boys and Highly
Satisfactory Results Are
Being Obtained

1t is gratifying to Coach Al Ire
loar of the rowing squad of the Los
Angeles Athletic club to know that the
crew will not suffer through the loss of
any of the members of the squad by
injury or entertaining. With the pos
sible exception of slight sprain sus-
tanned about a week ago by Stroke
Routzhan, the men have been free from
accidents of any kind, and have gradu-
ally worked up to the point of almost
perfect development. Coach Treloar
stated yesterday that the regular
morning row of four miles would be
continued until Wednesday morning.
the day before the race. Each evening
the men will take a five-mile run and
hop into bed at clock each night.
1t is probable that the coaches of the
four rowing clubs that will participate
in the Thanksgiving regatta Will get
together not later than Wednesday and
appoint an umpire to of1iciate during
the races, and to draw UP set of rules
which will govern the race. The course
at Naples is about one and one-quarter
miles long. The lagoon is not wide
enough to accommodate two crews
abreast, and because of this fact the
race will be rowed in heats
A large crowd of students from the
various schools and colleges in and
around Los Angeles is planning to at
tend the regatta, and can conveniently
do so and return to Los Angeles in time
to attend the football game at Fiesta
park in the afternoon. The members
of the Los Angeles Athletic club will
go to Naples in special cars, which Will
be chartered for the occasion.
Regardless of the fact that the Mara
thon race is more than month away,
Secretary Henderson of the Southern
California Marathon association is re-
ceivng daily applications from aspi-
rants from all over Southern California.
From present indications there will be
at least one hundred athletes entered in
the New Years run to Venice. Applt-
cation blanks can be had from Secre-
tary Henderson at the Los Angeles
Athletic club or Chester Lawrence,
president of the Southern California
Marathon association, at The Herald
office. All blanks, when filled in, should
be sent to Secretary Henderson.
Not content with successful mud hen
hunting, Witt is butting into the pool
limelight, and through some marvellous
trick of fate he succeeded in defeating
Billy Henderson last night in two
games out of three. Believing he bore
a charmed streak of luck for the time
being. he challenged Terril to a couple
of games of handball. Terrill agreed
and then defeated this "mustachio'
king to the queens taste. The score
of the three games was 81 to 0, Il to 0
and q to 0.
The basketball team of the club re-
ported for practice last night and under
the direction of Coach Hahn put IN
about two hours at hard work. Hal
: briter was indisposed and failed to ap-
pear on the floor 1T is a habit with
Percy" said Walton.
There is a possibility that the dub's
bandbaH tournament will be finished
and out of the way before the new year
rolls around. Jack Nest stated last
night that he and Jack Bradner, pos
sibly, if nothing interferes. may get
together this afternoon and start to
commence to finish the tournament.
Verify, verify, a pair of Jacks.
How about the coxswain for the
crew? Who is he? Where is he? Any
body who intelligently answers the
foregoing questions would confer ia
vor upon Captain Isaacs of the four. He
is doing his utmost to get somebody out
who will act in the official capacity, but
it must be done before Thanksgiving
day.
