WILMINGTON COACHES
HEA[AN| FRESHMEN
Klebahn Chases Seniors Around
in Launch-MyrtIes Are Con-
fident of Their Superiority.

Coach klebahn had the Healani
senior barge crew ont again yesterday
morning and chased them around IN
the launch kulamanu II for nearly two
hours. Paul Wilmington, who was a
member of the Harvard senior crew last
year. took the Healani freshmen in hand
yesterday morning. and when both
crews came in they were reduced some
what to moisture, while most Of them
were convinced beyond a particle of
doubt that it was the hardest days
work yet. The senior oarsmen have
developed too much strength for their
oars. two of which were pulled asunder
by the mighty heaves. Both oars broke
in exactly the same place, and the frac-
lures were almost identical. Both split
at about the middle, just outside the
oarlocks. The oars were all new this
year. and were made of Oregon spruce.
The broken ones viii be replaced to-
dav. il was said. and some alterations
VIII he made in the barge Healani.
The feotrests are too far forward from
the sliding seats. which does not allow
the full leg action. These rests viii
lie moved closer to the seats, and this,
it was estimated yesterday, would give
about two feet more sweep for the oar
blade.
The Myrtles put in a good mornings
work, all pulling together admirably.
Along with their powerful and well
regulated stroke, they are developing
supreme confidence in their superiority
over the Healanis. and they said yes
terdav: "Beost the Healanis, so we
can get odds "Mavbe they would
be willing to make it even money that
thew will make a clean sweep said
Tealani. eff they will, III take
them up
They are all getting pretty well linz
hered up for the fantastic at the Young
Hotel and will be strong on the hop,
skip and jump for the barn dance, If
this is included in the program.
The Healanis have called off the shell
race They proposed the event some
time ago, they say, and the Myrtles
waited until the last minute, then
| picked four oldtimers. The Healanis
claim that their crew is no match for
the Myrtle bunch and the race wouldn I
be interesting If they would pick a
shell crew from the barge oarsmen, we
would do the same said Captain Bert
Hebron of the Healanis yesterday,
land give them good go; but they
won't do that
Prince Cupid and Alex Robertson are
the favorites in the pair-oar race. The
betting odds are now two to one that
this pair will beat Charlie Chilhngwort
and Frank Thompson. Robertson and
the Prince are veterans at the game,
while Chillingworth and Thompson are
in the freshmen class. The Cupid Rob
ertson crew have worked down so that
they can 90 twenty-five strokes without
resting, and it was said yesterday that
the CbilIincworth-Tho limit was
fifteen. The sports have doped It out
that when YOU put these two and two
together il makes the odds two to one
