REBEL AGAINST
EASTERN RULE
OF ATHLETICS
SEATTLE, April 22 (by Associated
Press).—-War against what has been
termed absolute control of college
sports by the eastern National Col
legiate Association has been opened
by Coach Claude J. Hunt, athletic di
rector of the University of Washing
ton here. The association, Hunt re
cently asserted, is “a farce” and repre
sents only a few of the eastern Insti
tutions.
Recognition for western and middle
western colleges and universities is
desired by Hunt. He hopes the na
tional association will be forced to
admit western institutions into its
councils. If this is not done he thinks
the institutions west of the Missis
sippi should form an association of
their own and make it as strong as
the national body.
“We can have a national associa
tion w-est of the Mississippi just as
well as they can hgve one in the
east,” Hunt said recently. “The pres
ent association is national in ngme
only and is completely dominated by
Harvard and Yale. What they say
goes. The schools of the west do not
have a look-in.”
Hunt asserted that almost all the
association meetings are held in New
York, too far for many western dele
gates. If the association is to be made
national in scope the meetings should
be held in different parts of the coun
try so representatives of all institu
tions can attend.
To Plant Game Fish.
PLACERVILLE, Cal., April 22 (by
Associated Press).—The El Dorado
Rod and Gun Club will plant two mil
lion trout in the streams of El Dorado
county the coming season, according
to present plans of the organization.
Last season 500,000 trout were
planted in these streams, but owing to
the increasing popularity of the
county as a resort for fishermen the
club feels that many more must be
planted if the reputation of the county
is to be maintained.
Activity at Montana.
MISSOULA, Mont., April 22 (by As
sociated Press).—Prospects for ath
letics at the University of Montana,
here, are said to be unusually bright
this spring,after having been virtually
abandoned during the last year, when
the war began to make its effects felt
among the ranks of the college
players.
Baseball and track men have
started spring practice and with the
return of many of last season’s dia
mond stars, indications are said to be
good for a strong team. Of last year's
team, Spiller, McKain, Whisler,
Bowen and Woemer are back, and
others are expected to return before
the opening of the baseball season.
Six college games have been sched
uled by Coach W. E. Schreiber. He
hopes to arrange for others. So far
Montana has been dated up for a
series of three games with Washing
ton State College at Pullman May 5
6 and 7, with three return games in
Missoula June 6, 6 and 7.
The state interacholastic track
meet, will be held at the university
May 7 to 13. Last year, 65 high
schools of the state were represented.
Utah’s New Managers.
LOGAN, Utah, April 22 (by Asso
ciated Press).—Three managers of
athletics were recently appointed by
the students’ executive committee of
the Utah Agricultural college here.
Solon Barber was appointed manager
of the 1919 track and field team;
Glenn Hayward manager of the 1919
baseball team and Victor Larson head
of the 1919 football squad. All three
men have been active in athletics at
the U. A. C.
DEPOSITS OF FINE COAL
DISCOVERED IN SWEDEN
LONDON, April 21 (by Associated
Pres).—Deposits of coal in Sweden,
discovery of which was reported re
cently from Stockholm, may help to
solve one of Sweden’s most difficult
industrial problems.
Sweden has an almost inexhaustible
supply of very fine iron ore and Swed
ish scientists for years have unsuc
cessfully attempted to deviBe means
of working it' by electricity. With a
coal supply at home it is pointed out
that Sweden has an opportunity to be
come one of the great industrial coun
tries of the world.
The rising cost of labor in Great
Britain already has placed England
at a disadvantage with the United
States in the Italian coal trade and if
Sweden could produce coal in quan
tities warranting export she doubtless
would become a competitor of both
the United States and England.
The coal contained in the newly
discovered Swedish deposits is said to
have a caloric value 50 per cent
greater than that of British coal and
it is stated that it can be produced
for about $5.75 a ton.

TURTLE BEING CAUGHT
FOR CANNING PURPOSES
SAN PEDRO, Cal., April 21 (by As
sociated Press).—Fishermen here are
turning their attention to the catch
ing of turtles as an occupations. Three
concerns are outfitting expeditions
which will lpave’ soon to hunt turtles
in Mexican waters, a journey of a clay
and a half from the harbor here.
Several tons of turtles were taken
there last year, and the fishermen ex
pect to exceed this amount. The tur
tles will be brought here, where they
will be converted into soup and other
delicacies at the local canneries.
-«
Sixty claims have been staked in
the new placer strike 35 m iles outh
east of Teslin lake. At Whitehorse
there is no excitement over the find
and all those who have decided to go
to the diggings will wait until the
opening of navigation, when they can
go by steamer to within a few miles
of the creek where discovery was
made.

OPPORTUNITIES
FOR YOUNG MEN
IN NEW MARINE
_ i
<
SAN FRANCISCO, April 22 (by As- ,
sociated Press).—More merchant ma- ,
rine officers are needed today than ,
during the war in order properly to
man the several hundred new ships
that will slide down the ways and be
placed in commission during the next
few months. New classes are open
ing in the United States Shipping
Board’s free navigation school here,
and its free school in marine engineer
ing in Berkeley, and the recruiting
service of the Shipping Board has
made an appeal to men to enter into
the work.
“It is important that we anticipate
this need,” said C. W. Saunders, chief
of Section 5 of the Shipping Board,
with headquarters at 120 Market
street, “and prepare to supply the
men, as the proper operation of our
merchant fleet is just as necessary
now, if not more so, if we look to the
future of this nation’s welfare, of
which the new merchant marine is a
vital part, as it was during the war,
when every ship meant a battle won.
“What the Shipping Board really
needs now are men who see in the
merchant service all its vast possibili
ties, and who join not only for the
fine purpose of helping this country
establish prestige as a maritime power
but because they know that by proper
effort in this service they can gain
for themselves a profitable vocation.
Each of these hundreds of ships will
need eight licensed officers, four on
deck and four in the engine depart
ment.”
Applicants with two years' sea serv
ice and physically sound will be ad
mitted to the new navigation class at
once, after the approval of their ap
plications by the local inspectors of
steamboats. The average length of
the course, if attended during the day,
is from four to six weeks.
Men of a certain amount of me
chanical or engineering experience,not
necessarily at sea, are qualified for
the four weeks’ day course in marine
engineering, subject to the approval
of their applications by the steamboat
Inspectors.
Graduates requiring additional sea
service before being qualified for their
examination for license will, b»^nt
out by the sea service bureaiy as re
serve officers for eight weeks at $90
a month.
Graduates of the navigation school
passing their examinations before the
steamboat inspectors will be licensed
as third mates and higher, according
to the amount of experience they have
had. Similarly, graduates in the ma
-«
Job printing at Dally Times office.
rine engineering branch passing the
steamboat inspectors will receive
licenses as third assistant engineers
and higher.
