Macadamized Part
Of State Road Open
Brick Paving Laid Through
Rathmel and Curbing to
the Junction.

The macadamized portion OF the new
state road, reaching from the Rathmel
school house to the Clearfeld county
line, has been completed and Is now In
use. On the brick paved portion, com.
mencing at the Rathmel- school house,
concrete curbing has been put In to the
junction above Prescottvile and brick
laid to Benjamin Haugh's farm One
or two bridges along the route are now
In course of construction. The road
between Prescottvile and the macad-
amized section is practically level and
on the upper macadamized section there
are only gentle, gradual grades hardly
noticeable while riding ever it. At
many places cuts OF six or eight feet
had to be made, rendering construction
costly, but the road now completed Is
one OF the finest examples of such high
way building in the state. The grade
through Rathmel, unfortunately, had
to be made rather high for houses on
the lower side, but Notwithstanding
that it has improved immeasurably the
appearance of that village. 1t Is prob
able that by October 1st Hatten g. Co.
will have completed their work to the
borough line and the road be open to
traffic shortly after.

The firemen, driven back step by step,
took their last stand there and by play

hours and forty-five minutes we were

The fog was extremely thick and speed

when, without warning we struck. The
ship keeled violently to port, then to
starboard and then righted on an even
keel: the rocks could be felt very plain

further headway and both engines went
full speed astern. All OF the crew not

was wait for high tide. In the mean

pletely at variance with what the on
locker would expect OF men in training
for long, arduous season Of big league
work. In the first place, In the strict
acceptance OF the word, there really Is no
training. for the men on the squads do
not do the work that an athlete. whether
an oarsman. n pugilist or other like men
of brawn and muscle, goes through In
preparation for a big contest. The ball
player has no compulsory hours Of sleep
and no certain diet and no particular
muscles are cultivated or looked after.
Teamwork is what is sought. and this
makes mp 90 per cent of the work done
In the South. 1t Is in this manner. work
ing under a Southern sun, that the sore
ness from nonuse of their muscles In the
winter is taken out, and there Is not

on the diamond who is not in need OF
this training. In the cold North 1t would
be impossible TO get into condition, hence
the selection of the South. with its warm
air, In which the men can persplre with

The veteran does not need much drilling,
for he knows what TO do and how to do
1t, but with the newcomer this is not
true, for he must work day after day
with a veteran player as mentor driving
home an idea for playing a position until
1t becomes second nature or instinct TO

Thus is developed that wonderful team
work which wins so many battles later

Rowing.

People ask why Charles Courtney, the
famous Cornell rowing coach, scores sue
cesses so consistently with his crews at
Poughkeepsie. 1t Is not n very difficult
question to answer, but ] think that n
recent incident at Cornell will throw
some light on the subject without very
much additional comment on this being
needed. Weed, stroke of the freshmen
crew of two years ago, aud naturally
good varsity timber. was member of the
Cornell Masqne, an undergraduate dra-
matte association, that had scheduled per-
formances OF their annual play at Roches-
ter and Auburn. Courtney had already
started work with his oarsmen, and when
asked II Weed could leave Ithaca with
the dramatic organization, most emphatic
ally said no, and that Weed must, more-
over, cut out all thcatrlcals and conAne
himself to rowing. Courtney does not
want his proteges leaving Ithaca at this
time, even for day, and doesn't care to
have them divide attention between the
atricals and aquatics. Weed, needless to
state, gave up his role as an actor.
Whether Courtney or any OF the other
big rowing coaches ever advocate includ-
ing octuple races In the Poughkeepsle re-
gattas is more or less problematical. Even
If they don't Coach Goodwin, OF Colum-
bla, is determined to try the idea out
anyway, so II they ever are adopted he
will be prepared. Moreover, he sees a
vaet amount of good to be gotten out of
this sort of rowing for the regular Colum-
bia eight-oared crews, so every Saturday
until the crew goes TO Poughkeepsie he
will have octuple crews on the Hudson
racing against picked eights from the
Metropolitan and other crack crews FROM
the Harlem, A start will be made at
two miles and the distance finally pushed
up to four. 1t is an experiment that will
be watched with keen interest by other
rowing authorities.
