quite clipper yesterday afternoon when

Hawaiian Crew Husky.
The Hawaiian outrigger crew has ar
rived from Kona and they are a husky
looking lot, much larger on the aver
age than the haoles They paddle
very differently than the local crew
but Capt. Rusty Brown thinks his crew
has the better stroke. The Hawaiians
do four short strokes and shift while
the haoles execute fifteen long sweeps
between shifts. The kona crew tears
it off at high rate but Brown s men
seem 10 hold their own at the pace.
Rusty says theoretically the fifteen
stroke way is the best.
Any paddler who can't go fifteen
strokes without firing he explains,
= has no business in a canoe The
shift is made as a restful change and
I should think that shifting at every
fourth short stroke would be more
tiresome than going 1t the same way
. all the time. Of course. YOU can work
up lot of speed with those short
quick strokes but YOU are bound to
lose some on the shifts. Brown
thinks that the haole crew is stronger
, than the Hawaiians, but the latter
j have the best canoe. The lineup Of
the Hawaiian crew is kula. Pailaka.

Shell Race Sure Of.
The Myrtle shell crew made an in
formal call upon the Healanis yester-
day 70 ask their pleasure regarding the
proposed she'll race and the HealaniS
final answer was that Il was off. The
Myrtle four have put in some strenu-
Gus training for this event and they
feel so much physical benefit from the
exercise that they have decided To keep
up the good work anyhow.
