Great Progress Made in
Swimming in Past Year

NEW YORK, Jan. 20-To the casu-
al observer and to those who consider
records the criterion of progress, the
year of 1899 may not have seemed a
very remarkable one in aquation. But
to the close student of the sport it was
a year of great achievement and Won
derful Improvement.
During the II months just elapsed,
both theoretical and practical SWIM
mers advanced rapidly, and as a class,
not individually. Coaches like McKen-
zie. Mccormick, Sullivan, Kistler,
~Cady, Melfert, Helm and Cavill gave
close attention to the new phases of
the crawl stroke, studying and ex-
perimenting, until each had worked out
a style of his own, in many eases to-
tally different in action and movement
from the original Australian variety
introduced here in 1904 Frank Sui
Ivan of the Illinois A. c. of Chicago
proved the most successful of the lot,
and his remarkable achievement in
taking five boys, totally ignorant of the
art of natation, and developing them
in less than two years into world
record team, tells its own tale of the
value of his stroke. 1t is a strictly
American product, the long, easy,
ctr oieyI,t 1no
and absolutely independent action of
arms and legs being Numerically the
reverse of the short, jerky arm move
ment wide kick and synchronous time
of the Australian variety.
Sullivan's special pupils-Richard
Frizelle, Harry Hebner. William Vos-
burgh, Perry McGillivray and Leslie
Chiville-made good after only few
months of tuition, but it was only
during 1909 that they reached cham
pionship form. Leslie Chiville proved
a mediocre sprinter, but one of the
best swimmers in the country The
other four showed phenomenal speed
at so, 100 and 220 yards, and on May
20, in Chicago, brought down the 400
yard worlds record of minutes and
13 2-5 seconds, held by the New York
team composed of Daniels, Truben-
bach, Goodwin and South, to min
utes and 4-5 seconds. None of the
boys has yet reached his Goth year, and
, McGillivray is only ii. F'rizille has
done such sterling work of late as to
be classed by Western experts second
only to Daniels as an all around swim
mer

Academy Loses
Game in Cage

Playing the first basketball game In
the new cage recently constructed in
the Whitman college gymnasium, the
second squad from the Y. M. c. A.
met last night and defeated the aggre-
CATION from Pearsons academy to the

the start, the "cads' had no show at

quired new swimming clubs.
Colleges Advance.

SoiiS9CS f%oVdnCe.
Among the colleges progress was
marked. Not only did several institu-
lions take up swimming as a sport to
be fostered, but teams as a rule i'm
proved and the opening of the Car
negie natatorium at Yale gave new
impetus to aquatics. The Intercolle-
giate Swimming association took into
its own hands the revising of water
polo and swimming rules and showed
that in future it intends to do it's own
share of the work. Collegiate swim
mers performed creditably in the ma
tional and district championships and
what was even more gratifying to
those who look into the future, fresh
men teams were seen in some of the
universities and sought meets with
reach other.
That the national A. A. u. champion
ships did not always fill in a satisfac-
system now in vogue of holding them
one at a time in distant parts of the
country and to somewhat strained re-
lations between the leading clubs. Still
if the national events did not bring
out representative fields, the district
championships were splendidly attend
ed and frequently resulted in new rec
ords and exciting competition. 1t
might be a good thing for the author
the old method of holding all the
events in one big meet. The ma
jority of swimmers seem to think that
it would improve matters a lot
Taken altogether, there was much to
be satisfied with during the year. and
we may well congratulate ourselves on
the gradual but continuous progress Of
sport that must take precedence as
the most useful in existence.
