If efforts being made by the Aneri-
can Canoe Association and Canadian
Canoe Association are successful the
Washington Canoe Club may be rep

summer by the crack four which has
carried its colors successfully in com
petition against the best paddlers in
the United states and Canada. The
local canot club is anxious to send
at least four of it's men to the Olym-
pics. as it is generally believed that
a four made up of Burch. Harry

ncr would Toe able to show the stern
post of the boat to the best paddlers
in the world.

attending the OlympicS. one of the
members of the club had this to say

pretty generally and the financial
obligations could be met. | think.
The travelling expenses of the trip
would be about S240 per man. and
the club has sgnifed its willing

expenses while abroad This they
have agreed TO do. OF course. all
this depends upon the success or
failure of the American and Canadian
Canoe associations to arrange with
=
padding events in the program.
