M. AND T. GIBBONS ARE.
MODEST YOUNGSTERS

Mike and Tom Gibbons furnish a
good example for other brothers. Mike
is generally regarded as the best mid
dleweight IN the wotld-a clever boxer
with the punch of a fighter.
For the last year or so it has been
hard to induce Mike TO talk about him
self. Ask Mike who he can beat and
right off the reel he II tell you that
brother Tom can beat any body in the
world.
Mike was actually insisting that Tom
was better middleweight than him
self.
1t looked embarrassing for time
for if Mike won the championship and
Tom was a better man, how could Ton
get the title without fighting Mike fol
III And if Tom were the better mid
dleweight, would it be fair for Mike
to hold the championship and exclude
Tom from hOnOrs and wealth.

TOOK ROWING IDEAS
FROM ENGLISH CREWS
IMPROVEMENTS IN STROKES USED BY YALE, HARVARD AND

In 1879 Captain Bob Cook Of Yale,
not satisfied with the rowing status at
New Haven, visited England to study
the. system ms ,exempllfed nat Oxford
and Cambridge. In his return he intro.
dnced whit was afterwarl known as
the Cook stroke, which resulted in
those splendid Victories redounding to
the glory Of old Ellis sturdy sons.
Cook 5 great crew of ,76 many. old
grads will remember ms an ideal one.
In 1926 Courtney of Cornell visited
England with VARSITY crew. Al.
though experiencing defeat, he picked
up few ideas which were afterward
grated into the Cornell system, i'm.
proving its form to such degree that
the Courtney stroke was but another
synonym for victory. n
English Ideas Copied
English ideas having been so sue
cessfuI, Harvard essayed the system
! through X. G. Lehman the well known
English coach. Harvard used the nm
adnIterateds form, but was unsuccessful
and so abandoned II. She then secured
the services Of James Wray, who taught
her that certain principles in the Eng
lish system, when combined with tht
American form, produced the best re
suits. Then followed a series of vie
tories over the Blue that is now aquatic

Yale, in the meantime, awoke to thu
fact that something must be doing II

at New London with old Eli as thu

known oarsman of the Deander ROwinS
Club, London, was placed in charge Of
the Yale squad, with Dick Armstrong
and +. J. CLAIMANT as associate coaches
The English and American system
were carefully studied out, and com
tination effected that was though

the 1914 rOntest. The result is now I
matter Of record, being n splendid ad

Harvard remained upright after cross

Yale Credits English Oar
Although the rowing sharps had Yal
down for a defeat last June at New

friends. How and why did Yale win i

When university crew rowing had
passed its initiatory stage, many years
since, it was noticed that by sliding

Then some bright college genius con
eeived the idea that creased seat on
which the leather-bottomed rowing
trousers could slide backward and for
ward would be something of an inno-
walton, introduced the conception of
seat motion, and from this the sliding
and roller seats came into operation.
Then from the old .notehed rowloek,
cut in the gunwale of the boat, the
modern Outrigger, those pin and swivel
rowiocks, were developed.
The old lap-streaked eight-oarel
racing craft had its day, and was fol
lowed by the modern cedar shell boat
with all the improvements that typify
the present perfected craft.
Some years ago u. Waters & Sons
of Troy, N. Y, introduced the paper

was abandoned for good.
As regards the oar, the change from

Regarding Length Of Slide
When the movable seat was first in

their natural conservatism, made bu

That is, the slide was restricted t,

extended to twenty nine inches. TIL
English stroke at the beginning was

A Cherry for John D's Thoughts

Back in Kansas City, man named Lewis Bond Cherry has refining scheme which is a wonder if all he claims for it be true. He says:
 "i can take 10000 gallons of 90 gravity distillate and convert it into II 900 gallons of gasoline of 65grav- ity," he said. "By my process all of the volatile parts of the crude oil are turned into gasoline at any desired gravity, and it takes less than one cubic foot of natural gas to gallon of gasoline produced and not to ex- cced five kilowatts of electricity for the conversion of 10000 gallons of crude oil day. This will make th. cost of conversion less than three fo:rths of cent gallon"

PRESCOTT WILL PUT 0N
 FRONTIER STUNTS AGAIN

Prescott, Arizona, May "A, 1915.- For three years, Prescott has been developing an annual entertainment which bids fair to prove the summer classic of the Southwest. From a very humble start in 1912, Prescott Frontier Days has grown until 1t IS today the watchword for square deal ing and real range performance Tn every section where sports of the Western range are honored.
 This year, no deviation Will be allowed from the resolve first made in 1912, that all corners, both contest ance and visitors, shall be treated with the same regard and that prices for accommodation will remain at the reasonable rates prevailing at all seasons in the Mile High City.
 Cheyenne Frontier Days, for seve- ral wears the last word in clean prog ress, backed by honest management, has degenerated into mere show, in which graduated" COW punchers in silk and buckskin do fancy stunts on a wage basis or with guarantee for their performance.
 Profting by the history of other western celebrations, the management of Prescott Frontier Days, of which F. A. Kastner is chairman and F. l.. Haworth Arena Director, have rules that there will be no "gashers" or "grandstand" players in the 1915 Frontier Days at Prescott.
 Scores of prominent riders in the East have signified their intention ot competing at Prescott, regardless ot the fact that no wages or guarantee arrangements have been tolerated. A majority of these men feel that they can come and compete with the Ari- zona cowpuncher, fresh from the range and break into the money some how.
 George Ruffner and other promin- ent cowmen of Yavapai county, take the stand that these outside entries need not terrify local riders; that the puncher fresh from the rodeo and acclimated to the Mile High elevation stands more than an even chance and this is the general feeling among Ari- zona cowpunchers, not few of whom have already sent in their entry blanks.
 In this years celebration, over S4,OOO in gold will be awarded, in cluding prizes amounting to S1,75O in one event alone, the Worlds Second Champion Broncho Busting Contest. For this great event, the program committee is securing Northern Ari- zona for wicked horses and with the ten noted outlaws from Juarez, which were seen at last years show, it is expected that at least fifty bad buck CTS will be in the corral ready to "cut up" when the first announcement is made by Doc Pardee, at 2 o'clock July 3. The celebration will last for tnTee udyo, teihiiio'iiiS '"is '' "i'' the Reception Committee guarantees comfortable accommodations for all who come. Prescott accommodated several thousand extra people in 1914 without hitch. Very low excursion rates have been published in connec- tion with Prescott Frontier Days 1915.
