Ross Turns from a Fish
TOQ Bird in War Game

From fish to bird is the war plan
of Norman Ross, the sensational swim
mer of the Olympic Club, of San Fran
cisco, who made such killing in
championships and records during the
indoor season recently closed. He has
entered one Of the army schools for
aviators and is now learning TO ny.
He hopes, however, to be able to at
tack few more worlds standards be-
fore making an exit from the aquatic
field
Having again rounded into top form
and being within easy reach Of several
pools where outdoor meets are already
held frequently, Ross believes he can
obtain permission to do some compel
ing in the near future, so 1t would
hardly be surprising to hear soon OF
fresh record breaking feats on his part
The watcrmen Of San Diego r. G.
tackled their rivals of the Los Angeles

but were treated TO the surprise OF

score of II points to is.

tURdkcIUtub was VIC ".
Jerry Witt, the sixteen year-old star OF
the winning team. who was racing FOR
the first time since an attack Of blood
poisoning put him out Of the game
several months ago. Although handi-
capped by lack Of training, Jerry sim
ply romped away with the 22O and 44O
yard events in the clinking time OF
2 minutes 80 seconds and minutes 81
seconds, respectively. He looks like a
fast coming champion.
The Philadelphia Swimming Club has
laid out it's usual summer schedule and
announces that the annual open schol.

400 yard Malpass trophies will take
place on June 8 over the customary

Ready for War

Spring football practice was inaugu-
rated at Fordham University yesterday.
The Fordham football warriors, how

early collegiate campaign, but for more

Bulger Lowe. .captain-elect Of the
Maroon eleven and member of the
Fordham University ambulance unit

upon this manner of conditioning the
football players who will accompany
the Fordham corps. Fordhsm is the

practice for this purpose.
Every day until the athletes depart
for France they will go through their
gridiron exercises. The other players
who have thus far decided to go with
Lowe are Bunny Corcoran and Jack

for the title.

All Motor Boat
Clubs Search
For Novices
Are Eager to Teach Every
One How to Operate
a Boat

President Wilson's recent statemenL
In which he emphasized the desirability
OF carrying on sports without inter
ruption. has been taken to heart by
the motor boat fraternity.
While it is essential that all forms
Of outdoor recreation be carried on. il
is of the utmost Importance that moth
ing should interfere with motor boat
ing. The motor boat has been response
bic for the development Of thousands
of strong, healthy young men, active
Of muscle ana alert mentally-just the
kind most needed by the nation these
days.
The use of motor boats has made the
young men OF the country familiar
with the water, has taught them the
elements of navigation, the basic prin-
ciples Of marine engine operation.
These men are ready now for naval
service, but, although many thousands
of them have already enlisted. more are
needed.
Welcomes for all Strangers
Many OF the motor boat clubs
throughout the country, realizing this
condition. are welcoming strangers TO
their clubhouses. are encouraging all
who have not had motor boat expe-
rience to 20 out with them and learn
how 20 operate q boat. AS a matter
of fact. the operation of motor boat
is very simple thing. There are
certain elementary rules in navigation
TO be followed, but these can be learned
in half a dozen lessons. Any one who
knows how 10 operate an automobile
and how to keep a motor car engine
in condition can handle a marine motor
successfully with very little practice;
the difference between the two power
plants Are in minor details only.
