Not in Myrtle Glass.
The Healani seniors were not in the
! Myrtle s class at all. Their stroke
was ragged, compared with the reds
whose blades swung together like one
pair of oars. The Healanis were slow
IN making the start. Their getaway
strokes were short with, apparently,
too much jerk, while the Myrtles got
under way with the same long sweeps
that carried them over the entire
course Both reds and blues timed
alike. thirty-two strokes to the minute
going out and thirty coming back.
lWiil Lyle and his men took the long
sweep and ended each stroke with one
vicious yank, giving them squirt to
the next catch with their oars. They
lost no time on lags between strokes,
while the blues seemed to waste their
energy in the sudden pull at the start
which was made harder by the retard
of speed between strokes. Harold Dill
lingham demonstrated the MYRTLE stroke
l,by initiating a man lifting heavy
weights from either side They came
up Slow until he got the right pur-
chase and then he Strengthened right
up with a sudden stretch aiding the
pull with the spring of his legs at the
finish.
The Myrtles ran right away from
the Healanis in the senior pair oar
event from the start, increasing their
lead to the finish.
There was a four paddle modern out
rigger canoe race between two crews
