Nibby Nyborg. tho Crcs- cents guard. scored first for tho Cres- cents and his tally was followed up by swift one by Stohl. All this while tho Gascos were held scoreless. The guarding the Crescents were showing made the Gascos feel mighty blue The latter found job on their hands when they tried breaking up the de- fcnse used by the Crescents.
 For about 10 minutes the score was in tho Crescents favor, f to 2. Then Captain Huck of the Crcscrnts sent his team to the scoring column again when he sent the old pill through the draperics.

'CREW COACH GONE
 BUT STROKE STAYS
Conibear's Method Being Used by
 Leading Crews a

1 Seattle. Wash. March 4.-From racing with bicycles, and not with boats. came rowing principle that is 1 to permeate the practice of the crews that uphold next summer the fame of Yale and Harvard and the Universities of Washington and California. The crews of these four institutions will be partly or entirely trained by graduates of a system of rowing in vented by Hiram Conibear, who died six years ago. .
 Conibear never pulled an oar. He was bicycle racer. and from that got 10 be an athletic trainer. He became associated with the University of Washington as track coach. An idea kept running in his head, gained from his bicycle experience. that the leg was more powerful engine than the arm. When in an emergency crew coach was needed at Washington. he volunteered. Ultimate success was the result.
 Followers of Washington crews be- lieve that the "Conibear stroke" will replace the English stroke in this country, by employing the power Of the leg is a slow movement. conibear forever doomed the labored use of the arms, which was the vogue when he entered aquatics.
 In Conibear's regime at Washington he won most of his races. In 1913 he took tho Washington crew to the na- tional intercollegiate regatta al Poughkcepsie. N. Y.. and placed third. being nosed out by Syracuse and Cornell universities.
 After the world war Ed Leader a veteran of the 1913 and 1916 Wash ington cights, took the helm which death had wrenchcd fro the hand of Conibcar. Under Leader. Washington continued to advance. After defeating California in the spring of 1922, the Washington boat was beaten only by a great eight of the United states naval academy in the poughkeopsir race. Then Yale took Leader for its head coach and with him as assistant Captain Mike Murphy, stroke in the 1921 and Ie2e Washington shells.
 Russell s. uRusty) Callow. who had rowed in the 1918, 1914 and 1915 Washington boats, was chosen as Leaders successor. Last June Cailow took his oarsmen to poushkepsio and won the national rowing title. After that victory Captain Sam Shaw was engaged as assistant coach at liar yard.
 The two latest graduates of the conibear system to become teachers of the art were CsrroiL--Ebrlght. coSswain at Washington in fl9i6 and 1917 and Russ NeGfnr. coSswain in 1919, 1920 and io.l. Rho have becom. coach and assistant coach respectively at the University Of California.

freshman nine last year. and proved himself to be invaluable for his hit ting.
 Wonder athletes are usually hard 10 keep at Stanford University, be- cause of the exceptionally high standards of that institution. but Meyers is creditablo student in spite Of his athletics.
 The only worry that tho coaches have in regard to Meyers is to which sport he will compete in next. Coach Kerr wants him 10 specialize in basketball: Coach Templeton wants 10 develop him nnto n world beating track athlete: Coach Wolter wants his help in beating the great rival, California, in the annual baseball series, and Glen Warner and Kerr will call upon him for spring foot lall practice.
 Popularity is great thing whom one can deliver the goods. It keeps Seycrs busy.

THE PUNCH IS WHAT
 ALL HOOTERS WANT
Same Holds Good in Boxing Ring
 as in Baseball
(By Billy I;vans)

AbE DIllN lsNdISB
 Sport fans like the athlete with the punch.
 Babe Ruth became famous because Of his ability 10 hit q baseball farther than any other human being.
 Willie Keeler, star in his day, was perhaps the most scientic bats man that ever stepped to the plate, yet he never won the renown that has come 10 Ruth's way.
 Johnny kilbane, Packcy Mcfarland and Jim Corbctt typified the utmost in science in boxing, yet none or the trio won the plaudits Of the fight fans as did Stanley ketchell.
 Sport fans seem to get q much greater thrill ont of the cave man stuff. They worship the athlete capable Of doing the unusual.
 Paul Bcrlenbach. sensational young middleweight, is the very latest cx- ample Of the truth that to be q hero you must pack a punch.
 A year ago Berlenbach was practi- cally unknown to the sport world. A string of 26 consecutive knockouts has caused him to be the most talked about fighter in the game. in addition to 1G kayo wins scored as as an amateur boxer. Then some one decided that he was destined to shine as q wrestler, despite the fact that he had won all his amateur fights via the knockout route.
 Failure to draw big purses as wrestler. caused Bcrlenbach to revert to his first love, the ring. He entered the professional class and already has scored 10 consecutive knockouts. This ley White also resulted in Barrett be- an amateur.
 Berlenbach can hit. He packs slccp-producing punch in eithorhand. Fight critics are referring 10 him as a second Stanley Ketchell. Never was thero q greater ring idol than the so- called Michigan assassin"
 
 Despite tho great popularity he has won because of his long string Of knockouts, Berlenbach and his mana
 
 position.
 From now on, unless Berlcnbach should knock out some fighter with a national reputation, the cry will be rased that his victims arc being hand picked. on the other hand. | Berlcnbach is sent against one Of the leading mid deweights and is dccisivcly beaten. much criticism will be heapcd on his manager for rushing his protege.
 Berlenbach can hit. but still has much to learn about the strategy Of the ring. For the next year he must he nursed along. The wise procedure is to pick the spots for him. Bobby Barrett, Philadelphia lghti- weight, had what promised to be a great career spoiled because he was rushcd in his march to the front.
 Barrett. after hanging Up long us the successor 10 Benny Leonard. X ' match with the lightweight champion | was eagerly sought. Leonard paid no attention to the cry | for n meeting with Barrett, as he | didn't believe such meeting would l pay enough financially for the risk 1 entailod. In an effort to build up match | with Leonard, Barrett was sent against | Lew Tender, then at the top Of his | form, and Lconards most dangerous | rival Tondlcr knocked Barrett out in the | seventh round. \ meeting with Char Berlenbach started his sport career ing llattencd fin the third round. |
  Those two bouts ruined Barretts | He had been unwisely rushed. |

 Bishop William F. McDowell, resi- dent bishop of Washington and presi- dent of the board, and Clarence True Wilson, general secretary, also address ed the meeting which adopted resolu- tions indorsing among other things the Cramton and Stalker bills. The for mer, which would set up an independent prohibition enforcement bureau, was indorsed "as placing upon the prohibi- tion unit greater responsibility for pro- hibition enforcement" while the latter was described as being designed to "in. crease the penalties for prohibition law violation and for other commendable purposes"
 Other resolutions condemned prize fighting on government reservations and that participated in by professional prize fighters; condemned. lynching, indorsed prohibition of transportation through the mails of indecent" magazines and books specializing in sex appeal, called for stricter enforcement of the eighteenth amendment in the District of Columbia congratulated the secretary of the treas. ury and the prohibition commissioner for "chpcking liuuor smupplino" and expressed commendation of Attorney General Liss of Indiana.
 Dr. Pickett in his report attacked in decency on the stage and in print.
 "There are twenty magazines in the United States specializing in sex ap- peal" he reported. Massachusetts has handled this situation better than other states and it is believed that system of cooperation with government off cials can be perfected during the com ing year based upon the pre-yiew policy of Massachusetts which will drive most of these magazines out of the mails"
