BY the Assoeiofsd Press

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Aug. 8.-The
University of Maryland's special
building program, which includes a
sports stadium today, had been de-
layed because the Board Of Public
Works decided Attorney General
Hall Hammond would have to pass
on its financial aspects.
DIR. H. G. Byrd, university presi-
dent, presented the plan to the
board June %, saying it wouldn't
cost the State one cent. The over
all program cost he set at $3.50 900
with $500, 900 for the stadium.
Figuring in the financing scheme
are funds held by the university's
Athletic Board, CT student fees, in
creased general students fees for
two years, and loan to be hoated
by the board and paid off with ath-
letic receipts.
Use of Funds Questioned.
Gov. Lane said the attorney gen.
eral had called into question the
use of carry-oyer funds and students
fees In the financing. and the Board
of Public Works yesterday agreed
that the attorney general should
give the program an OK before it
would.
The program includes, besides the
stadium, a $9oe, goo physical educaa
ton building a $3.50, 900 chapel and
a 100000 swimming pool.
DR.. Byrd had asked that work be
started this summer so that the
stadium could be used next year.
The board will meet Wednesday
at Baltimore and the attorney gen.
erals opinion on the plan may be
ready at that time.
At yesterdays session it author
lied the expenditure of $1,151 ,544
on State buildings, the largest por-
ton, $4,000, for heating plant
for the University of Maryland.
The board awarded the contract
to the Riley Stoker Co. of ST..
Louis, but stipulated to the uni
versity Board Of Regents that any
extra costs such as putting in a
railroad siding and purchasing
rights Of way be held within the
$3.50, 900 allowed in the emergency
construction bond issue.
The board approved host Of
minor projects, including work at
four State teachers colleges: $780,
545 for dormitory reconstruction at
Bowie; $4,000 for a dining room ex-
tension, rewriting, new pumps and
a shower room, and $1,000 for the
science laboratory at Frostburg, and
$1,126 for the Salisbury tennis court.
The board permitted the purchase
for $45, 900 Of a 200-acre farm owned
by Percival P. Burroughs in Prince
Georges County, to be used as a
tobacco experimental station.
It told the Department of Educa-
ton it might hire personnel to can
vass war surplus property inven-
tories for State institutions with
salaries totaling $14,225, but said
the department should find the sum
in its own budget.

Wall changed all that last season.
He reasoned that it is less fatiguing
to crew to keep the same beat
throughout race, and figured that
if his Wisconsin team could hold
steady 36 beat from start to finish,
it could win the nationals. 1t did.
Only the toughest kind of body
building program can possibly pre-
pare crew for big race. Compared
with the life of Walz crewman, the
slaves who rowed in galleys had
soft touch. Last fall, instead of
issuing oars. Walz handed out track
suits and set the future oarsmen to
running six mile distances and lifting
huge weights in the gymnasium.
One bewildered freshman said, Il
don't know whether I've signed up
for crew. track or the gym team"
Tough Work
EVENTUALLY, the freshman and his
fellow aspirants got oars in their
hands, but not on a lake or a river.
They went to work in three indoor
practice tanks, which Yale con-
structed at cost of $500, 600. There,
while water swirled by at the vary
ing speeds encountered under racing
conditions, Walz drove home the
exact science of digging the oar
cleanly into the water. sliding back
in the movable seat, and feathering
the blade forward.
Finally. just as the boys had about
decided they were never going to see
any open water, Walz took them out
on the Housatonic for their first COM
petitive rowing. While three or
four shells skinned through the
water, Walz shot around them
in a shippers launch.
Elbows in, there" he beloved
through his electric megaphone.
You're not carrying babyw And,
Watch that left wrist, damn itr'
Walz, who became crew coach
after trial spins in football, Wall
Street, radio, television and a job
with Dale Carnegie, is as excitable
as the most rabid rowing fan. And
rowing can be narrowing to watch.
Fast Finish
LAST year, for example, Walz's Wis
consin crew broke first in a four
team race on Philadelphia Schuyl-
kill River. but rival boat crowded
it toward a stationary barge as they
rounded a curve One Wisconsin oar
licked the barge. and the whole
measured beat of the crew was upset.
While Walz sweated blood, however,
the team came from behind and
drove to half-length victory.
He makes no secret of the fact
that he works his boys hard. 'I'll
work myself and the kids half to
death for winning season." he says
candidly. His crewmen practice from
September through June, longer than
any other college teams, and Walz
himself logs l6 hours day.
At Wisconsin last year he didn't
have any indoor tanks, so he secuted
around and found small, swift
flowing river that never froze over.

Strong backs, no brains,
they used to say. But
Alan Walz adds some new
twists to an old sport
TAkE rowboat 60 feet long
weighing 300 pounds. built of
one-eighth-inch wood and costing
$1,000. Then take eight husky. long
armed, six-foot college boys who are
willing to pull oars until they fall
over dead. Finally, take one small
college boy with loud voice. brash
temperament and quick brain. As
semble these ingredients, add in
weeks of gruelllng training sessions
and you've got rowing team.
Of all sports, rowing is probably
the most collegiate - and the tough
est. 1t takes an eager young collegian
to work himself into the mood for
pulling an oar at 80 to 38 strokes
minute for four miles and then as
reward being allowed to carry the
shell into the boathouse.

This Wednesday will mark the re-

took the Yale crew on and gave them

Tale has procured the services of
young giant named Alan Walz.
Reported to be earning between
$1,000 and $4,000 a year. Walz is
one of racing's most high-powered
coaches. Last year, at Wisconsin,
Walz took crew of men fresh out of
service - they had never raced to-
gether before - and swept to a
series of victories which brought
them the mythical national title.
His Formula
NEATNEss, rhythm and a radical
stroke are the cardinal principles of
Walz's racing dogma. Most rowing
coaches have their coxswains get the
boat off to a fast start. about 38
strokes per minute, settle to a steady
80 or 50 for the main part of the
course, and finish with back
breaking Sc or 38. Some great crews
have pushed the stroke to AZ for very
short sprints, but that's tops even
for the most ironClad muscles.
