that he cannot depend on his two
younger prospects, Bob Burke and

1t is the failure of these two
to come through, in fact, that
has cost the Griffmen what
ever chances they may have
had of being up in the race.
Faced with the opportunity of
boosting themselves following their
initial 1929 Western invasion the
Eriffs were forced to resort to this
pair when Jones and Liska were
forced to the bench with injuries.
Given their chance neither could
make good Used largely in rescue
roles Brown was repeatedly sheHed

FLASH SPEED

PoUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y, June Is.
The broad bosom of the Hudson
hummed with activity today as five
crew squads resumed training for
the thirty-second intercollegiate re-
gatta to be held here on June "a.
Syracuse's oarsmen arrived yester-
day, Cornell joins the colony to.
day and Washington, Wisconsin and
M I. Z. will arrive early next week.
A strong wind blowing straight up
the regatta course failed to stop the
oarsmen last evening, and Richard
Glendon, ST., the Navy coach, gave
the other members of the rowing col
ony a real treat when he sent his
varsity, junior varsity and plebe
crews over the course.
The varsity rowed the full four
miles, the juniors three and the
plebes two.
Perhaps the most startling piece
of work was accomplished by Buck
Walsh's plebes, for the youngsters
battled varsity and junior varsity
all the way down the course and de-
feated. the Jayvee eight by a half a
length at the two-mile mark where
the piebes dropped out of the trial.
The varsity and juniors continued on
with the varsity holding slight lead
all the way.
Jack Eddy, brother of the IA
nous Tom, stroked the juniors in
place of Mcclure. Eddy has been
out of the boat for time to pick
up weight. He now tips the scales
at TIA and is ready to row again.
Columbia Pennsylvania, Califor-
mia and Syracuse also got a bit of
the rough water, Columbia and
Pennsylvania getting it over a two
mile time trial. California and Sy-
racuse Just took short rows along
the west bank of The Hudson. 1t
was the first workout of the year
for Syracuse as the Orange crews
under command of the 76-year-old
coach. Jim Ten Eyck. arrived here
| late yesterday afternoon.

white triangular designs. Next
separate them by cutting the
drawing diagonally from the
lower left-hand corner to the
right-hand corner. Then on a
large sheet of plain white paper
draw two squares exactly twice
as large as the one containing
the two triangular patterns. This
will make each square eight
inches in size. With dotted lines
divide each of the two large
squares into four smaller ones,
each OF which is the size Of the
original square containing the
two patterns.
Next neatly paste each of the
two triangular designs over the
upper half of the upper right
hand square Of each Of the eight
inch squares. As soon as the
paste has thoroughly dried. sep
arately fold over twice each
large square, until only the
square containing the black and
white design appears as the top
square. Then fold again diagon-
ally so that only the black and
white pattern appears as q tri-
angle.
Take very great pains to make
all folds exactly on the dotted
lines, for only by doing this will
you be sure to secure a perfect
pattern.
Now you are ready to cut out
the design. With your scissors
cut out all the black parts only.
Be sure not to unfold the paper
until after all the black parts
nave been carefully cut out. To
cut out the black parts inside the
design insert the point Of your
scissors or the point Of a sharp
penknife, taking care not TO tear
the paper.
After you have carefully cut
out all the black parts of each
pattern slowly unfold the paper
and you will have a beautiful de-
sign.

A Puzzle Problem

A MAN had to get to a railroad
n station which was twelve
miles away and had just an hour
and 4 half to catch his train. A
bicycle was his only means OF
conveyance. There were four
miles uphill which he had TO walk
and push his bicycle at the rate
Of four miles an hour. Four
miles were downhill which he
travelled at the rate of twelve
miles an hour and the remaining
four miles were a level stretch
Of road which he covered at the
rate Of eight miles an hour. Thus
the man averaged eight miles an
hour. Did he catch his train?

l. from l to is, scattered through the sixteen smaller squares. so
that the numbers taken vertically, horizontally and diagonally total
81 in each direction. This is called a perfect magic square"
The probler now is to ELIMINATE two Of the Numbers and for
them substitute the numbers z and 10, thus duplicating these two
numbers. and then re-arranging the rest of the numbers so that the
result still will be 81 in each direction
How can it be done? Remember. the numbers Z and 10 are to

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo, October 81
Former United States Senator jaime:
A. Reed was urged to become a candi-
date for the Democratic nomination
for governc. here yesterday by State
Senator A. L. McCawley, author Of Mis-
souri's bone dry" law and consistent
prohibitionist throughout his public
career. McCawley placed party need
above personal principles.
"I am convinced that Senator Reed
is the only party leader in Missouri
who could be elected governor and carry
the remainder of the State ticket tc
victory" McCawley said.
Recognizes Sacrifice.
"If he would make the necessary
personal sacrifice that such a race
would mean to him. 1 would give my
best efforts to aid him in securing the
nomination and election.
I'm 1892 we will have to elect not
only a governor and United States
Senator, but full State ticket, includ-
ing three judges of the State Supreme
Court. The nature Of the Democratic
party in Missouri hinges largely, In my
Judgment, on the result OF that cleo
ton,
Great Fight Visualized.
Behind Senator Reed as its leader
the party could and would make a
great fight for restoration of power in
State government.
Il haven't the slightest idea that
Senator Reed would entertain sug-
gestion that he stand for the guher-
Material nomination. 1t would be a
great day. though, for Missouri Demo-
Gratis if he would say he would consent
