When Sir 3nwnh ill elded some week ago thnt I'.ddle Mitchell, weighing 143 pounds, was to be the stroke of the Red nnd Rlue varsity, there was considerable doubt expressed by those well versed In rowing knowledge thnt the move was n wise one. How much the better was the wisdom of Wright to thnt of his critics was exhibited In the dusk of Saturday night on the Housntonlc River up in Derby, Conn . when the light weight Mitchell stroked his varsity boat across the finnl line n full length nhend of the widely heralded Yale i Ight. ft was the wonderful stroking of .Mitchell and the superworl: of his seven pals that earned Penn one of her big gest victories of tho year. Mitchell brojight his strength from somewhere mining his 113 pounds of bone nnd flesh und stroked his eight to victory. And the best part of thp victory and' the surprising port as well was the fresh in of the Rod and Rlue bladesmen nt the conclusion of the race. This can bo nttrlbuted to the earlv sturt tho can didates had in the outdoor work nnd the fnct that Wright brought them along hlowly. The Intercollegiate world Is agog over the wonderful performance of the Penn eight, and Mitchell In particular. Old timers are talking of the prowess of the Ardmnrc lnd and arc checking up their Heavy Snowfall Halts Cleveland-Detroit Series Detroit, April 18.

Tho Tigers have plnycd but two games, one of them in n steady driz zle of rain, since the season opened. memories to see if there has been n stioke onr as light as Mitchell In bo Importnnt n race in the past. Mnny snj there has never been ; others arti Inclined to wait and look up the rec ords. At present, however. It seems that Mitchell Is nt least one of the lightest men ever to stroke a varsity eight In such n race. Pennsylvania covereil the distance in 7 minute Hnd 0 seconds, just 4 seconds better thnn Yale was clocked in. Tho time Is not considered fast -In view of the ri'cord thnt is some 35 seconds bet ter, but nil things considered, the fog, condition of the river, and other rea sons, the time was excellent and au gurs well for the future success of Mitchell anil his pals. "Of course I nm happy," said Coach Joe Wright this morning, "The varsity eight rowed n beautiful race and Mitch ell stroked them like n veteran. Last j ear he did the same kind of work In the 150-pound eight, which won the championship. We will start work thin afternoon in preparation for the Chilels Cup race on the Harlem River on May 14 " The junior eight stroked by Rill Cope land, lost the race to Yale by little more than half a length after ranking valiant fight to win. Had It not been for the fnct that Rugh In the middle of th boat took sick nfter the first half mile the Red and Rluo might have won tho race.

Anybody can claim to be "best". But getting the public to believe it is another matter. The only way a manufacturer honestly knows his product is "best" is when millions of people give it their unanimous O.K. This is just as true of tires' as anything else. Notice how many U. S. Royal Cord Tires you Bee in your own community. Notice, too, that when a man has one Royal Cord on his car, he generally has four and maybe a spare or two besides. Stroll along any Automobile Row in the coun try, and sec how many different cars are making Royal Cord Tires one of the attractions. Hob-nob with a U. S. Tire dealer and listen to what he says. Thousands of tire dealers today carry no other tires but United States. Thousands more are arranging their stocks so that they may become 100 U. S. dealers within the next few months. We are m a year, not only of better tires, but of better tire service. No motorist today needs to experiment with tires unless he wants to. Any man who has had enough of "bargains", "surplus stocks" and "discount offers" can go to a U. S. dealer and get a fresh, live tire of current manufacture. He can get economy of the kind that is based on a full money's worth. Not somebody's guess not a purchase made on hope but that surest of all saving that is backed by the good faith of the oldest and largest rubber company m the world.
