SAN FRANCISCO, December l.
Had Duke Kahanamoku and Ludy
LANCER been In that go yards at the
,Olympic Club last Friday night they
would have been wallowing eight and
ten yards behind in Ross wake.D This
is the expression of one Of the ablest
Pacific Coast aquatic critics about Nor.

week at the local clubs pool. The
"Big Moose" from the "farm" deliy.

The recognized world q record Is 2,2l
fat. This was made by Harry Hebner,
of the Illinois Athletic Club in 1916, In
his home pool. The Chicago tank Is
sixty feet long, and therefore Hebner
had eleven even laps to swim the race
in. This means ten turns" or shove.
offs in the race. Now swimmers agree
that a good turner gains at least . sec.
ond on each turn, so that Hebner's per.
Torrance IL compared to that of Nor,
man Ross should be discounted four
seconds, since Ross had but six turns in
the 100.foot pool of the Olympic Club.
This fact is recognized by the Interna.
tional Swimming Federations, and rec.
ords are accepted only from pools at
least seVenty.fve feet long.
Is Consistent Performer g..
This was not a fash in the pan for
Ross. Under the great coaching of Sid
CaviI, of the Olympic Club, Ross came
rapidly to the fore among Pacific Coast
swimmers, and when swimming for the
San Francisco club often swan dis.
tances in worlds record time. Ross
race at Ocean Park, when he nearly de.
featCd the great LANCER in the annual
rough-water swim, was only one Of his
-onsistent performances. -,
No one who is conversant with the
real merits of LANCER and Ross will
hesitate u say that Ross Is the superior
nj the American champion in the mid.
one great attribute which is usually
lacking in a distance competitor: He
is a phenomenal sprinter. He can 60
90 yards in Sc seconds. In fact, the
first 100 yards Of his 220 last week were
swum in So seconds fat.
Much Faster Than Duke
Now, as for Hebner, Kahanamoku,
Perry MacGillvray, Ray Brown and
Herbert Vollmer, these men are the
premier distance swimmers of the
world, excepting LANCER, and mono Of
these men has ever come near the time
of the local man in pool over sixty
feet. Kahanamoku two years ago swan
the 220 yards in 1929 10 here in San
Francisco, and was hailed at that time
as the greatest in the world for the
furlong.
This is Ross second year Of real
competition, and his future is rosy in.

sprint in face Of his distance training.

THE LIQUOR MEN ARE
 RIGHT ABOUT KANSAS

Kansas has tried prohibition for forty years, and the real condition is almost unbelievable" says the Manufacturers and Dealers associa- tion. an prohibition organization. For once we quite agree with them, for to those of us who are residents of license territory and enjoy all the nyraid benefits of the license system, the real condition in Kansas is aI- most unbelievable.
 Where is the license state with a per capita wealth of $1,630 to match that of Kansas? This amount Is greater than that of any other state and twice as high as that of the Uni ted States as a whole.
 How many license states can boast a tax rate of s1.25 on a thousand, which Is lower than that of any other state with one exception?
 Where Is the licensed state where every sixth family owns an automo- bile? This record of Kansas is equal led by only two other states in the union.
 One family out of every five in Kansas has a telephone, and no other state in the United States can equal this record. Yes, the truth about prohibition and the real conditions in Kansas are almost unbelievable" :" as the liquor people say.

MAJOR PICKERING
MAJOR PICKERING
DESERVES FAIR CHANCE
New Director of Athletics Is
Thoroughly Familiar With
Duties of New Office

Under the new athletic regime at the
University of Pennsylvania, students and
the alumni anticipate much brighter flu
ture athletically for Penn and in the ap-
pointment of Major Maylin Pickering as
graduate manager of athletics to succeed
Robertson Lea Perot, most of the burden
will fall upon the shoulders of the man
who has been so successful and active in
the management of the Military Athletic
League
Major Pickering never was very promi-
nent as an athlete, but his thorough knOwl-
edge of sports makes him an ideal man for
the position. Byron Dickson was the
choice of the undergraduates and many
were of the impression that the Board of
Directors of the Athletic Association erred
in making this appointment 1t now Is
believed, however, that Major Pickering
will prove to be a real live wire and the
man to handle this important position.
Major Pickering isl graduate of the
University Law School, is former captain
i'm Company II, of the I'd Regiment, and
now holds a commission of major, He was
private secretary to George ID, Porter when
the latter was Director of Public Safety.
