Treatment Of Material Before Being

Wooden materials should be sponged
before being made up in order to
avoid shrinkage and water spotting. ID
Lay the material on a table that
has been padded and covered smooth
" with a cloth that is free from lint.
Cover the wooden material with a wet
cloth and press with fairly hot iron
until the cloth is almost dry, when it
should be removed and the wooden It
self pressed until It. is dry. In press

If double width material is to be
sponged, it may be left folded, right

s is sufficient to stem both thicknesses,
but both sides should be pressed in
order to insure dryness.

ROWING GAME
WILL NOT DIE
Present Conditions Should
Help Rather Than Hinder
Collegiate Aquatics.

While Il Is stili too early to state
definitely the outlook for competitive
rowing during the coming season it is
likely that the sport will occupy a po-
sition Of Importance in the athletic ac-
tivities Of the Eastern colleges in 1913.
As a means of physical development
and recreation, rowing has always held
a deserved prominence IN the athletic
life OF the undergraduate. There is.
moreover. under the present condi-
tions, an additional and pressing need
for a continuation of the upbuilding Of
the collegian both from a bodily and
mental standpoint.
There seems no better form of ex-
ercise to help to achieve this than
rowing with its demand for a perfect
coordination of mind and body in the
Individual oarsman and the crew as
a whole.
That this is thoroughly realized by
those in charge of athletics at the va
rious colleges which have sent crews
to both Poughkeepsie and New Lon
don in recent years Is shown by the
plans to continue rowing, even though
in a modified form, during the coming
season.
There will be both indoor and
open WdlCE NhS oaA
at Columbia, Cornell. Pennsylvania,
Yale, Harvard and Syracuse. Inter
class and college regattas will be
held and under certain conditions,
there Is a possibility of some inter-
varsity competition although not
upon as important a scale as that
which marks college rowing in nor
NAL times.
Fall practice was held at ma
jority of the institutions which have
supported crews in the past and re-
ports from all these centers indicate
that the students evinced marked
interest in the sport when the num-
Der of unusual activities which are
now a part of regular college work
are taken into consideration.
That this same interest and en-
thusiasm will continue throughout
the winter and increase with the
coming OF spring appears quite GER
tain.
Rowing will be supported SO long
as it does not interfere with the
more important duties of the under
graduate in his relation to his COL
lege and the country at large. and
those in charge of the sport can be
counted upon to see that this danger
line is not overstepped.

''SLICK" FEET
WAR BOWLING
Pin Spiller Gets II Strikes
But Fouls Cut Score
to l73.

Minneapolis. Jan. 9. - One OF the
most remarkable games ever bowIed
fell to the lot OF W. V. Mosher. form
erly OF Grand Forks, now . resident
OF Minneapolis, while competing in
the three man tournament on the
Central alleys a year ago. Mosher
made twelve strikes in one game. but
the official scorer could only give him
l73 at the end OF the game.
This is the way that he shot his ten
frames:
His first ball he threw in the gutter.
and on the second shot he made a
strike which counted a spare.
In the second frame on the first ball
he made a strike. but fOUled. The
second ball was a strike counting q
spare.
In the third frame ne made seven
pins on the first ball ana blew the
remaining pins.
In the fourth and fifth frames h.
made strikes.
In the sixth frame, q spare was
chalked UP. The seventh frame VAS
a strike followed by another in The
eighth. In the ninth his first ball WAS
a strike but he fouled. On the sec
ond ball he struck. counting a spare.
At the end OF the ninth frame he had
made nine strikes.
He made a strike on his FIRST ball IN
the tenth frame, but foUled- The next
shot was a strike that counted a. =
spare.
He topped the game with q strike
twelve in one game with a total OF
1a5. He would have counted - but
for the mistakes.

SYRACUSE TO HAVE CREWS.
Coach Ten Eyck to Develop Varsity

ing machines at the Salt City uni
versity. Syracuse won the inter
collegiate regatta at Poughkeepsie
in 1916, the last time that rowing
event was held, and every member
of that great crew is now in the
government service.
Ten Eyck will have to develop
an entirely new squad of oarsmen,
but he believes that he will have
a varsity eight. Arrangements are
now being made to hold dual reyat-
tas with at least two other colleges.
Graduate Manager Walter Smith is
at work on a schedule. Races also
will be arranged for he freshman
crew.
Syracuse oarsmen have the ad-
vantage of having their indoor loN =
ing practice in water. for Ten Eyck
has a stationary shell in a large
tank. and it is this practice which
has given the Orange crews 9f the
past such excellent blade work.

ANOTHER Big
TRADE Is MADE
Cutshaw and Stengel Go to
Pirates for Mammaux,
Comes and Ward.

New York. Jan. s.-Announcement
was made today OF another big
baseball deal between the Pitts
burgh and Brooklyn teams. of the
National League.
The Dodgers surrender two vet
Grams. Second Paseman George Cut
shaw and outfielder Charlie stengel,
and receive in return three players
classed as youngsters-Pitche Al
Mammaux, Pitcher Burleigh Grimes
and Infielder Chuck" Ward.
Brooklyn was hit hard in the draft
and also in enlistments. and the
one weak spot Is now believed to be
somewhat remedied. In the months
following the close of the 1917 sea-
son Leon Cadore has become q mem-
ber of the National Army. while
both Ed Pfeffer and Sherrod Smith
have enlisted. All were leading
members of the Brooklyn leading
quartet of boxmen.
Ward will be played at second in
place OF Cutshaw. and his record
shows that he is no stranger there.
Judging by Mammaux's past record
he ought to prove a star for the
club. Grimes. the other pitcher OBJ
tained from the Pirates, has been in
the major leagues for only one year.
Ward gives promise of developing
into a high-class player. Cutshaw
is one of the real veterans of the
Brooklyns and has played a consist
emily strong game. while Stengel,
who can be spared by the Dodgers.
should prove a valuable addition to
Pittsburgh.
The Brooklyn club annexed an
other pitcher today in the purchase
of Dan Griner, who was with the
st. Paul club last season. At one
time he was with the st. Louis Car
dinals. -.-.a
