Husky Sweepsters Spurt to Victory in Olympic 8 -Oared Classic QUARTER LENGTH Win Maintains Unbroken Record in Eight -Oared Competition German Shell Is Surprising Third . By ALAN .GOULD (Associated Press Bports Editor.) GRUNAU, Germany, Aug. 14. OP) Flashing a smashing spurt In the final 800 meters, the University of Washington's Huskies captured the blue ribbon event of the Olympic rowing regatta today, whipping Italy's gallant osrsmen by a scant quarter- length In the finals for elght-oared crews. The Huskies thus maintained un broken America's string of successo In Olympic elght-oared competition. but the stalwarts from the far west. ably psced by the ailing atroke-osr, Don Hume, had to call on all their power to turn back a closing chal lengo by the Italians, runners-up to the University of California in the 1033 finals at Los Angeles. Far Behind Kecord. The Amerlcen shell crossed the fin ish line In six minutes, 35.4 seconds, far behind the course and Olympic record the Huskies had set at 8:00.8 In Wednesday's trials, and only six tenths of a second In front of Italy. Germany was a surprising third In 8:36.4 with Oreat Britain fourth, Hungary fifth and Switzerland sixth Washington's triumph climaxed a day marked otherwise by the crown ing of Germany as team champions, displacing the United States. The Germans, winning five of the day's seven finals, finished with a total of 00 points. Except for the elght-oared title, the only other championship that escaped the Teu tons' grasp was the double sculls where the British veterans, Jsck Beresford and Dick Bouthwood, led the field. Close Finish. Barely a length and a half sep arated the three readers at the fin ish In one of the most spectscular finishes the Olympics ever have seen. The Americans, with the ailing Don Hume stroking a beautiful race, fol lowed Italy's pace throughout. The Huskies were off next to lest but always were within striking dis tance of the leaders. Germany challenged Italy several times for the lesd but could not move to the front. Finally Washing ton hit up the stroke from 34 to nearly 40 quickly overhauling the Italians. The Husklea moved out In front 390 meters from the finish but the Italians stm had plenty In re serve and put on a fresh spurt that left the Huskies' margin at the fin ish not more than a quarter-length. Guatav Bchaefer of Qermsny csp tured the Olymplo singles sculling championship with the Austrian Hasenoehrl, socohd and Dsn Barrow of Philadelphia a surprising third. The unprecedented German sweep continued by the Teuton representa tives in competition for palr-oared shells with coxswain which distanced five rivals with a powetful finish. The Germsns. Qustmsnn and Ad anukl. with Arend as coxswain, took the lead from Italy nearlng 1,000 me ters and then won off by themaelvea while the rain-arenched crowd of 25, 000, Including Chancellor Hitler, Join ed In a terrlflo demonstration. Germany earned tta fifth successive title as the Teuton four-oered shell without coxswain defeated Great Britain by two lengths. Switzerland three lengths farther back, was third. U. S.

AS WATER DROPS; FIRE HELP ASKED The following recreational bulletin waa Issued today by Karl L. Janouch, supervisor of the Rogue river national forest: s "Fishing conditions In general are falling off because of the lowering water levels and the fact that the mote accessible streams have been fished out. "This week's report Indicates that with cooler weather and the absence of the full moon of a few days ago, fishing at Diamond lake has improv ed considerably. Limit, catches are now being made dally by. deep troll ing with spinners and worms. Files are being taken In the mouth of Silent and Short creeks. Queen of Waters, red or blue upright files have proved to be most attractive. Limit are also being taken In Lake creek and the North umpqua. . "In the upper Hogue near Hamaker guard station and higher In Mlnnl haha. Flat, Crater and Copeland creeks the fishing has been fair. The upper south fork of the Rogue be low Blue Canyon la classed as good aa well as the upper south fork of Little Butte creek. Seven-Lakes, par ticularly Middle lake and Bky lakes, have been good during the past week for fly fishing. At Rocky Point on Klamath lake, 10 to 16-pound rain bows are being taken regularly on Trout Orenoi, Baby Orenos and Andy Reekers. Fishing In Lake of the Woods Is fair. Some good-sized silver sides have been taken by both still fishing and trolling. Bass fishing Is good by using pike minnow plugs and some perch have been taken still fishing with worms. Fish lake Is still classed as good; catches contain both east ern brook and sllversldee. This lake will be closed to angling after to morrow for the remainder of the sea- season. About 90.000 steelhead have been planted this past week In the upper Rogue b the forest service and the United States bureau of fish eries. . "Four-Mile lake Is classed 'as good, limit catches being taken by still fishing with worms. The road to this lake Is stilt rough but la being Im proved by a lS-man crew at the pres ent time. Huckleberries In the Lake of the Woods country are scarce. There Is one small patch on Horse creek above Pelican. The huckleberry crop at Huckleberry mountain and Huckle berry lake out of Union creek Is re ported as fair. The berries are ripen ing rapidly and the season's peak should be reached about August 30. Pickers at Huckleberry CUy are aver aging about three gallons a day at the present time. There are some 000 persons camped at this berry patch. A fair crop of berries Is re ported In the cathlll and the Rustler Peak areas. Some berries In this ! territory are ripe at the present time but ihe main cop will not be rnd for approximately a week or ten days yet. 1 'In the upper Rogue river territory reports on deer Indicate that tlw number In this part of the forest Is falling off. Although they are In excellent conMltlon, no great num bera have been observed except near Anderson camp and Harahberger on the Rogue -Umpqua divide. However, quite a number have been observed In Lake of the Woods and Big Elk territories. They seem to be con centrated also in the Buck lake coun try and around Brush mountain. "Reporta from the Butte Falls ter ritory Indicate that hunting condi tions should be good, particularly around Cathlll. Buck Point and the upper middle fork of the Rogue. In the Applegate oratnage tue deer seem to be concentrated particularly around Perk's pasture, Hutton and Fir glades. They are all reported as being In excellent condition because of an abundance of feed during this season.

Crescent City catcher, to go to the Zanesvllle. Ohio, club, owned by Cleveland. Johnston showed great promise in the three Medford games. Several years ago the Medford high school waa defeated In football by Crescent City, but the encounter was later forfeited by Crescent City when it was discovered they were playing several ringers. Johnston was quar terback on the club, but was not one of the ringers. The high school baseball field has been covered with a three-Inch layer of dirt, silt . from the river bottom. The stuff is still soft, but will be rolled before each game. The new sur face la expected to render a distinct saving In baseballs, since the old rotten -granite surface scraped the hide off the apple in practically no time. Plans are now afoot to seed that Infield this year, so as to have a fine turf next season. Tho expense, other than the seed, is not expected to be great .since they will let nature do the watering. They're now looking for some sort of grass that the frost won't kill while It's still young. MEANIE TAMER TO TACKLEGEORGIAN Y There are six new tennis courts In Medford this year, bringing the total of public spots to nine. One new clay court has been added to the cement courts on West Second street at the Junior high school, making four there. Two new clay courts have been completed on the Roosevelt school grounds near East Main street, and the city courts on Peach street near the Washington school are now ready for play, and have been for some time. The school courts are surfaced with rotten granite, while, the Peach street courts are surfaced with silica. II. O. Wilson, grnnd old man of local tennis.

Oregon hasn't beaten Howard Jones team since 1915, when the prides of Eugene turned in a 34-0 victory. Southern Cal apparently never got over that, for Oregon hasn't scored on them since.

Hints of Craig's prowess have already floated north in the form of press dispatches, that young man having established an enviable string of wins in southern California. Craig Is a newcomer here, described as big and fast, and entirely capable of handling hla own end of an off color dispute. He likes the going rough, but prefers clean grappling. In his California, matches he has ex ploded In the face of meanlca who attempt to take ad van tag- of his good nature, and his scuffle here with Montgomery la expected to be a classic. The Georgian, a good wrestler who scorns to use his art If slugging will suffice, has won hla latt four matches In Medford, and declares he will win this one. Joe Hubka, leaner, faster, end bet ter versed in lore of the ring than he was a year ago, will meet Chero kee Ike, primitive soul from Okla homa who last week paid a hasty visit to the never-never land when he galloped headlong into a whist ling right handed smash to the chin, delivered by Bobby Chick. The Hubka-Ike fracas will enliven the middle spot on the card. Ike, Irked by his defeat at the hands of Chick, has sworn vengeance against the next opponent he meets here, end has even hinted darkly that Referee Ray Frlsble may be on the receiving . end of. a few haymakers If he persists in breaking Ike's pet holds the choke, the eye gouge, and the kick to the groin (the latter one of his best.) Fans are well agreed that if Ike Intends to reach super meanle status with Hubka as the victim, he'd better swing early and hard, for the big ex-football star from the University of Nebraska has a deadly reputation In dealing with bultfes. The Nebraska n unveiled two new, holds here last week, a somer sault bottoms-up, and a leg cradle, both dangerous grips. Mox Glover, Detroit fire eater and victor over Tiger Tsakoff here sev eral months ago, will be the third meanle on the card, meeting the lit tle strong man, Waller Stratton, in the opener. Glovers favorite hold is the elbow stomp, a painful attack that Involves the tendons in an en emy's arm. Stratton, with the strong eat arms on the bill, may be able to survive this brutal treatment, but If he does he will be the first wrest ler to do so here. 4 'Bismarck, K.
