Bill has held every title in the

the exception of the tandem

the National and international
one-man single-blade crown, and
has qualified for four events at

Frank defeated Bill by half
mile in a 61a mile test using the
new boat the other day, which

Bill has had a lot Of fun on
the water. The only painful in
jury he received was administered
by Adolph Springle, who broke
his stick over Bills head In a
fitting match. Havens luckily
fell back into his own canoe.
When he came to, he clambored
back to the prov and promptly
reduced the number of teeth in
Mr.. Springle's mouth by one.

thirty minutes.
