Kiefer. Texas Tanker.
Rated Yanks' Best
Olympic BET
~ the Associated Press.


AUSTIN, Tex. July 29.-Not so
long ago, back during the Chicago
fair. he was tight-muscled and the
clumsiest kid who tried to walk the
creased pole over a swimming pool
in quest Of a dollar bill fluttering
at the end.
Today, Adolf Kiefer, barrel-chested
University of Texas student, is the
United States surest point getter in
the Olympic Games swimming
events.
World beater in the backstroke
events and holder of the present
Olympic 100-meter backstroke mark
at 1853, Kiefer, at 20, is cinch to
return to his old berth on the Amer
lean team. Next year, however, he
will blossom out in other events.
Coach Julian (Tex) Robertson Of
the University of Texas, who also
nurses along Ralph Flanagan, great
American middle and long distance
swimmer, believes his protege has
exceptionally good chances Of win
ming points in distance free style
events and should be valuable
members of the Yankee relay squad.
Robertson's idea of an American
relay team, incidentally, would be
Kiefer. Flanagan, Jack Medica and
Otto Jaretz.
To prove that Kiefer dominates
the world at his backstroke speciality
one has only to look back over the
past two Olympics. In the 1882
games, the wiry Japs finished 1928
but in 1896, with Kiefer around, the
Yanks moved in at the head of the
class and the Japs pulled down a
mere third place.

Score in Meets in
European Waters
Nichols Eurns 6-Meter
Title in Finland; Vim
Wins in England
By LAWRENCE PERRY.

opcCldi SOTIeSpOflueut Ol i ne oldT
NEW YORK, July 29-Maneuver-
ings in the international realm are
not confined to diplomacy. 1t ex-
tends, at least where Americans are
concerned. to sport.
While Mike Vanderbilt was in
volved in 12-meter racing in English
waters. George Nichols crossed the
ocean to Finland to sail his 6-meter
sloop Goose as defender at Helsinka
of the Scandinavian Gold Cup.
Since he had gone all that dis
tance to race for the famous small
boat trophy, Nichols naturally had
keen ambition to win: so to this end,
remembering that Rod Stephens was
a member of the afterguard of the
Vanderbilt sloop, he sent a hurry
call to the brilliant racing man to
come to Finland and help him retain
the cup, which, still sailing Goose,
he won last year on Long Island
Sound
So, forthwith. Rod left the sea for
the air, flying to Helsinka, where. as
chief lieutenant on Goose, he sailed
to three straight victories over seven
challengers.
Incidentally, Drake Sparkman has
received a letter from Vanderbilt
recapitulating the exploits of his IL
meter craft. Vim. against English
rivals. When writing he had sailed
his single-sticker in IS races, of
which Vim won II. OF the other
four Vim finished third upon two
occasions, was once disqualified and
one race was declared null and void
because of failure of the craft to
finish within the time limit.

Dewitt Harry, who is presi-
dent Of the local Izaak Walton
League and who has won and
lost enough marlin battles to
know what it is all about, has
the answer. THE angler hasn't

cites instances and examples to
back his statement.
We're crazy If we think we're
going to lick those marlin. We
drive over to Ocean City. It's q
four or five hour trip. We are
tired when we get there and pile
on the boat at 4 or S am. Most
of the time we haven't had q
wink of sleep since the night be-
fore, and we haven't had q de-
cent meal In IL hours. We take
two or even three hours of beat
ing reaching the marlin grounds.
We are tired already before we
even get started and our nerves
are all shot.
Then we put the bats over
and start watching them. The
nervous strain is terrific, watch

pop out Of our heads. Then the
strain starts us to nodding and
doing. That's just the time the
marlin picks to strike. We sud-
denly wake, all excited and not
knowing what we are doing and
we try to hook the blamed thing.
Half the time we miss, and when
we do manage to hook him we
have done only a medium good

Then comes q battle against
the best fighter in the Atlantic.
Every time he rushes he is tear

Every jump he takes gives him q

rushes maybe half q dozen times

1t any wonder that 8 times out
Of 10 that blank marlin gets

LONGVIEW, Wash, July 20
Far out in the backwoods wilder
ness gang Of lumberjacks squatted
on the river banks and yelped and
hollered In the falling dusk while
q pair Of nimble- footed log-rollers
twirled slick log with their spiked
boots.
Faster and faster they turned the
slippery log and the churning water
wet their trousers. Suddenly one
woodsman gave the log a cuff
knocking 1t OF line and slowing its
momentum. The other, caught
mapping, tapped his arms wildly to
regain balance.
There were loud, coarse voiced
cheers from the lumberjacks on the
bank as the loser finally plunged
into the cold water.
Log-rolling was hfe's work as well
as sport for these men, the lumber
jacks who felled tall trees, carried
them to the river and let them float
down to the sawmill Sometimes
hundreds of logs clogged the water
in huge jams. Then the jacks in
their sharp-calked boots and with
pikepole in hand, had to hop nimbly
from one log to another among the
floating mass Of timber, pulling and
prying the logs to promote their
free movement. They had to locate
the key-log in jam and pry II

Out of this dangerous work and
the play in the evenings grew the
lumberjack's favorite sport of bril-
ing, or log rolling. Away back in
1898 the first world championship

The birlers use three 12-foot log.

Contestants start on the biggest log
one on either end. and try to shake
each other of. They get the loe
rolling in one direction and suddenly
one of the men attempts to stop it by
suddenly snubbing it. Then he may
start it twirling in the other direc-
ton.
Usually two falls out of three is 8
victory and sometimes, if contest
ants are evenly matched, the
matches last for two hours. How.
ever, in recent years the tendency
has been to shorten the matches by
using smaller logs, all lathe-turned.

Marlin ITO Fovorite in Battle With AnqIer
Greet Chonce Fish Holds Adds Zes Of DeepWot Sport

Motto of sportsman and con-
servAtion organizations is GIVE
the fish a chance" The idea
is to use appropriate tackle when
out fishing so that the fish. if
he puts up a fair fight, will have
something of chance to get
away.
The chances q fish has of get
ting away after being hooked:
trout, 2 in S; black bass, / in S;
rock. in 10; blues, l in S; hard
head, in Is; white marlin, 8
out of 10.
So it seems the angler, even
using tackle designed for a par
ticular type of fishing, has all
of the edge. Except with mar
lin. Out of every 10 marlin
hooked only one is landed, or
at least that has been the recent
experience at Ocean City, top
marlin fishing spot of the world.
There the fish get air the
breaks and often you will hear
tales of fish getting away after
putting up a fight that leaves the
angler weak and exhausted. The
odds are all with the fish.
