DECIDE AGAINST SWIM
AT NAPLES REGATTA
Officials of Southern California SWIM
ming Association Abandon Plans
for Events in Conjunction
with Rowing Meet

The Southern California Swimming
association has decided not to hold
swimming meet at Naples during the
rowing regatta, which is to take place
some time in the fall The decision was
made after due elaboration and when
it was found that swimming would be
one of the secondary features on the
program The officers of the associa-
ton are of the opinion that the work
necessary to get up swimming pro-
gram in due time for the regatta would
cause too much trouble for the little
benefit they would get out of their
work Another reason for the post
ponement was that the regatta Is to be
held on Saturday, according to res
ident of Naples, who is devoting some
time to the plans, and this fact would
not permit the attendance of as big a
crowd in the opinion of the officials or
the Southern California Swimming as
ISOLATION as though the regatta was
heidi en- Sunday or some legal holiday
The officials will devote all their
time to the championship events, which
will be pulled off in Southern California
next July, under the auspices of the
Southern California Swimming associ-
alton. This latter event Will be not
only the biggest affair of its kind
around Los Angeles, but also Will
eclipse any swimming meet ever held
on the coast, in that the championships
of the Pacific coast and the Pacific
northwest associations will be contested
in Los Angeles at the same time

BEGIN PLANTING
FISH IN SOUTH
STATE AND FEDERAL CARS
ARE COMING
ALL STREAMS TO RECEIVE A
LARGE SUPPLY
J. M. connelI, State Commissioners,
Goes to San Francisco TO Arrange
for Systematic Distribution in
All Southern Streams

During the last week of this month
one of the state fish cars will arrive
In Southern California to distribute
trout fry in the various streams. In
October the federal car will arrive with
several varieties of eastern fresh water
fish which are to be introduced, and
following this car the state car will
return here with a consignment of
black and striped bass.
J. M. Council, the state fish commits
sioner for Southern California, has gone
to San Francisco to attend the monthly
meeting of the commission, when defin-
lite arrangements will be made for the
visit of the fish cars. The state car is
a new one and on it's third trip from
the hatchery at Sissons, covering
northern and central California terri
tory. 1t has proved a great success.
From twelve to fifteen applications
for fish are filled on every trip, with
no loss of the young fry. The output
of the hatchery is increased so per cent
in the use of the car. with no additional
expense. The use of a special car cool
ing process saves big item in ice,
also.
On the first visit. the state car will
be kept on the steam roads, but on the
second, if arrangements now under way
are successful, it will be transferred to
electric roads as well. In this way
Newport and Balboa will be visited,
and striped bass will be planted at the
mouths of the San Gabriel and Santa
Ana rivers. The output of the Cali
fornia hatcheries this year is 100000
trout. These are divided among the
following varieties: Rainbow, 100000;
cutthroat 100000; steelhead. 100000;
eastern brook trout, 100000; Loeb
Leven, 100000.
The eggs are stripped from the
spawning fish in the spring at the
at Wawona, Tallac, Tahoe
City, Glen Alpine and Eel river. They
are transported to the Sisson and Glen
hatcheries. where the young fish are
cared for until sent to California
streams. The striped and black bass
hatcheries are located on Bowden
island, in San Francisco bay, and are
supported Jointly by the federal and
state governments.

NEW COACHING
BLOOD IN SOUTH
CHANGES ARE MADE BY FOUR
SCHOOLS
INDICATES INCREASED INTEREST
IN ATHLETICS
Pomona and Occidental Colleges, Unl-
verslty of Southern California and
L. A. High Engage New Phys
Ical Directors

Plenty of new coaching blood is " be
seen on Southern California college and
high school gridirons this season, for at
all three conference colleges. Pomona,
University of Southern California and
Occidental. new athletic directors have
been chosen and at Los Angeles high
school Coach Sorenson has departed
and a new man will direct the plays
Pomona and Occidental have imported
eastern men for the position. while at
high school and U. S. C. southern
athletes are being tried out.
In Ralph Noble, who graduated from
Pomona college in 1904, the high school
has been fortunate in securing one of
the best prep" school coaches In the
south In his college days Noble made
his varsity letter in all four branches
of athletics-football. track, tennis and
baseball. After a graduate course at
Berkeley, he returned to Claremont to
coach all teams Later. when the Con-
gregationallsts decided to take up pro-
fessional coaching again. he was chosen
coach at Santa Ana high school, where
his teams did credit to him. This year
he was called to teach and coach at
the high school.
+. II. Gorton comes to Occidental
from small college in the east, where
he worked wonders with small
amount of material. He has the recon-
mendation of Walter Camp, the noted
Yale coach and athletic director. and so
far has shown a determination to get
out of the Presbyterians their best eff
forts on the gridiron.
The new man at Claremont, w. l..
Stanton, is another eastern product who
has had much coaching experience in
that country. He comes direct from
Hamilton institute, where he was coach
of all teams for the past two years
Previous to that he coached in Pratt
institute at Brooklyn. He will be the
first man since the regime OF Walter
Hempel at Claremont who will not be
a member of the teaching force of the
institution. This practice is contrary
to Pomona custom and was done only
in response to vigorous kicking by the
students for "a coach that was a
coach. and not a teacher who thought
he could COACH
Coach Dean Cromwell is too well
known to Southern California athletes
to need much Introduction now. He
graduated from Occidental in 1902 with
an enviable athletic college record.
Since then he has been engaged in
Y. M. G. A. and all sorts OF amateur
work and at last has taken a perma-
nent bunk with the Methodists as
athletic director and head coach.

U. S. c. is NOT
TAKEN IN FOLD
CONFERENCE RESULTED IN A
DEADLOCK
CANNOT AGREE AS TO STANDING
OF PROFESSIONALS
Failure to Arrive at Agreement Re.
suits in Universal Disappointment
Among Students and Managers
of the Institutions
BY H. HAMMOND BEALL

After a gabfest lasting three solid
hours, personally conducted by student
and faculty representatives of Pomona,
Whittier and Occidental at Occidental
yesterday, at which the ACCESSIBILITY of
admitting u. S. C. was discussed, the
dove of peace is flying higher than ever
and is almost out of sight.
U. S. C. made concession after con-
cession, but the other three schools
were as adamant. Manager Tom Clay
of the university journeyed to High
land Park yesterday morning, willing
to concede almost anything. but came
away disguised and disappointed at the
results of the whole affair. The point
on which hinges the trouble is the
clause barring freshmen of the at
filiated schools of the university from
competing in intercollegiate contests.
Manager Clay was willing to agree
to every other point the conference de-
manded, the barring of props and the
one-year residence rule. but when 1t
came to barring freshmen in the pro-
fessional schools the Methodist man
ager baked. In speaking of the mat
ter afterward he said: IT see no rea-
son why a man who graduates from
high school and enters the U. S. c.
law school should not have the same
right to represent his alma mater as
eral arts"
DIR. G. S. Sumner who presided over
the meeting, asserts that in the east
the freshmen in professional schools
are not allowed to compete, and thinks
the precedent should be followed here.
Clay will put 1t up to his university
board of control to decide upon Mon
day, but said that there was no chance
of them agreeing to that clause, and
Il 4I,ok he III
The question was hashed and re-
hashed, the constitution read. but of no
avail, for the conference remained firm
and refused to allow the professional
school freshmen to get into the game,
and Clay was equally firm in sticking
out for their rights, so the result is
deadlock with everybody thinking that
everybody else is in the wrong. DR..
Sumner suggested that u. S. c. should
sign the agreement, and possibly the
constitution could be changed later. but
Clay refused.
Failure Is Regretted
This failure of a peaceable settlement
has cut a deep cash in the plans of
Southern California managers, for all
had expected that the meeting yester-
day would bring the colleges together
and furnish plenty of athletic contests
for the coming year. After the meet
ing the managers of Pomona, Occiden-
tai and U. S. c. got together and drew
up a tentative schedule to be followed,
If by any chance the schools should be
brought together, as follows:
Occidental freshmen VS.. Pomona
freshmen, October II. at Claremont.
Occidental VS.. Whittier. October "a,
at Whittier.
Pomona VS.. L. A. H. s., October "a,
at Claremont.

sixth Of next April New York, in
monster pageant, will celebrate the
tenth anniversary of the advent OF her
first automobile, for it is just a single
decade since the then ridiculed horse
less carriages obtained a precarious
foothold, or rather whel hold, in
this city. The tremendous growth OF
its use, however, is evidenced by the
fact that today there are regularly in
operation on the city streets more
than 22,000 autos valued at $4,000
600. This tenth birthday OF the auto
will be one of the most remarkable
celebrations which the city has ever
known, resembling more than any
thing else Mardi Gras carnival. 1t
will extend through an entire week
and will include great variety OF
events. There VIII be automoDile
parades, races, hill climbing contests,
tugs Of war, dinners, dances, tourna-
ments, tricks and everything else that
can be imagined. There will be ex-
hibitions of automobile squadrons be-
longing to single owners, for there
are at least thirty men in the city who
possess more than twenty autos
apiece and more than ESQ who find
that at least ten cars are necessary tc
their needs. The most spectacular
feature of all will be night parade o
more than 10000 cars decorated will
