SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 31. — Three
of the greatest swimmers of all time
will nmtcli their speed and strength
on September 3. 4 nnd 5, when Duke
Kahnnumoku. Normnn Ross nnd Rudy
Ranger meet under the shadow of Dla- |
mond Head at Honolulu. Ross, who
is a member of the Olympic Club, of
San Francisco, already Is In Honolulu,
■where he is training and becoming ac
climatized. Before leaving, Ross said:
“I don't know of n more difficult
task than that of beating these men
at their favorite distances. Duke at
1th> yards and Ranger in the quarter.”
Should Robb succeed in his task he
will have accomplished something
that never before has been achieved,
and he will stand on the pinnacle of
his fame. The Ran Franciscan is
swimming at the height of his form,
and if he can maintain it. those best
qualified to know believe that he will
return from the islands (he undis
puted leader in the list of champions
written in the history of tha sport.
Tho girl swimmers of the coast, for!
the first time in the history of aquatic j
sports on the Pacific coast, recently I
competed in the plunge for distance
in preparation for the national cham
pionship in this event, which will be
hold here on September 22. Some |
excellent iharks were attained, and
with the Interval remaining in which ,
to get more practice, it is confidently I
expected that record, or dose to re -
cord figures, will result. Among the
nationally known girl swimmers who
will compete are Miss Frances Cow
ells and Miss Vallery Mahn.
Cliff McCarl will he retained as
manager of the llutte baseball team
for the 1918 season, and unless he is
called to the colors for war duty, Mc
Carl will spend the winter in shaping
up affairs for a dub to start ihe North
western league season next spring.
Before leaving Butte for San Fran
cisco McCarl agreed to kep his eye
on the baseball situation for Btftto.
McCarl’s numbei* was drawn early in
t)ie selective draft and lie said he will
not dodge the issue if called to go to
war.
The institutions in tho Northwest
and Pacific conferences will start off
in the fall by playing intercollegiate
football, according to the best infor
mation obtainable by Coach and
Graduate Manager Vincent Borleske
of Whitman College."
“Of course every institution in both
conferences will suffer greatly from
Die draft," Couch Borlesl,i said, "but
it looks like an even break all around
so far as atllletirs are concerned, as
practically all of the first string men
from the universities and colleges will
he gone.
“For smaller institutions to discon
tinue athletics now would lie almost
fatal. II would mean that onoe out
it would be too great a task to gel
started again after the war, and the
ichools would lose all the ground they
have been working for years to gain
in sports."
