race on Hilo harbor. With Alv'Lh
Scott as coxswain, the Hilo crew
should rule a favorite. Gilbert Pat
ten and F. Koehner accompanied the
team, and will be ready in case any
thing happens to one OF the regular
crew. Coach Webster, Otto Rose and
Will Spencer are three others Woo
must be depended upon in the noise
brigade.
HeaIanis Working Hard
The Healanis are working hard, and
when asked who will win the big
race, say that they will let you know
on Saturday. 1t is early to bed aud
early to rise at the present, and from
now until the day of the race the
various coaches are shaping the men
for the big victory which the Healanis
look for. They don't say so, but there
is a certain, air of confidence around
the club house. Charles Brown, Paul
Jarrett and Willard Grace are work
ing hard with the crews, and A. y.
Knoll and Lawrence Cunha are pick
ing I'D the loose pieces which need
fixing.
In the past the Healanis have not
selected their crews until just a day
or so before the race, but inasmuch
as there is possibility of another
sweeping change, no lineup has been
given. John Hollinger, David Buick
HAY Wodehouse, Robert Kanakanui,
T. F. McTighe, Bill Hollinger and
Harold Kruger may have something
tn saw about the senior race.
Duke Will Stroke
The Myrtles will have a strong
crew entered this year, and on paper
look like winners. Duke Kahanamoku
is not satisfied with the glory IN
swimming, but will take his place as
stroke of the Myrtle seniors. Duke
has made good as an oarsman, ana
any one who says that, as gUoa
oarsman Duke is an excellent swim
mer. has another guess coming.
Chuck" Smith, who at one time
handled an oar in the Harvard
Varsity eight, is to be stationed at
No. 5. Smith knows the game from
Alpha to Omega, and in addition to
working out with the crew, has been
assisting the coaches. Arthur Par
ker. Hfio- Boyd, Bill Patty and A..
Vierra are four men who may oe de-
pended upon to bring out some good
rowing. There Is plenty of beef IN
the boat, and the barge will be well
balanced. Luther Hough will steer
the boat in the big race.
What's In Name
The Myrtles will have a new barge
in the race this year. Harada has
built a barge, which will be sister
barge to the one owned by the Hea-
lanis, and a name has not been Sc
lected for the boat, although 1t Is
rumored that 1t will be called the
Chilly Maru. One of the crew wants
it called Sub Rosa, while still an
other wants it called the K. Duke. In
asmuch as Duke is about the fastest
thing in the water, the name kaha-
namoku wouldn't be the worst name
in the world.
It is said that Hilo broke the rec
ord over the course this morning, and
the Myrtles are going to go out this
evening. and make an effort to lower
the Hilo mark. II 49,.
Although the Myrtles are not bett-
ing that they will make clean sweep,
they have FIVE crews who promise to
show something in every race. Bill
Rosa has a great bunch Of 1nterme-
dates, and the kid crew is going to
show up in great form, If the Myrtles
Rave the right dope. They claim that
there is nothing to it but the Myrtle
freshmen. and believe that they have
sn awfully good chance in the junior
race. II.
Men at the Oars ........
Erling Hedemann, Campbell Gro
zier, Evenson, L. BertelInann, Mack
Rosa and A. Abel will be seen in
the junior boat on Saturday. The
freshmen crew has been rowing in an
asbestos boat, on account Of the dam
ger Of fire when rushing through the
water. In Allen, o'Brien, Auerbach.
McInerny. Comes, Wheslau and Brom-
ley, the Myrtles have a good babe
representation. .s:. ..".
There ought to be plenty Of class
in the intermediate department with
Norman Oss. Elmer Crozier, Gram
berg, Podmore, Cumnlins and Jimmy
Hart in shape. This crew looks mighty
good on paper, and in their last trial
they gave good exhibition. The
kids are coming along in good shape,
and look promising. 1t is expected
that the following oarsmen will be
seen in the boat: Bush Carter, K.
Mckenzie, W. Gehring, Perry. Cooper
and Ruttman
Surf Board Race
There will be a. number of new
features during the Regatta this year,
including a surf board padding race.
The Outrigger Club will have a num-
Der of entries, and il is known that
the Hui Nalus will also be represent
ed. In addition canoe races will be
placed on the program. Post entries
will be received for these as we'll as
for the steamboat race.
It is fully expected that there will
be a six Dared barge race between
the Territorial, Federal and City-Coun
ty crowd This triangular race ought
to create plenty Of interest, and in
asmuch as there are a numter of
good oarsmen who are holding down
some kind of a job, they ought to
be able to hold down a barge in good
shape
