not studied bath countries | know that
Americans think Australians still swim
the obsolete crawl introduced years ago
by Cavill. You have to travel to learn
the truth. 1t will probably surprise
the American to hear that CavilI him

The Outrigger paddlers are getting
anxious about their crew which is to

Of this month. They will be minus half
of their regular crew this year and
unless trio of enthusiastic canoeists
of the club round themselves up for

Harry Steiner and David Center,
pair Of the regular six, have gone away
and Vincent Genoves, the third, expects
to leave Honolulu before the eventful
day. An urgent appeal was issued last
Hignt for all the. patriotic members of

must be admitted that the list of sue
cessful crawls dwindled down to just
one. or if you wish to be very dis
eliminating to two. No doubt both here
and abroad there are in existence sew
eral other strokes, the trudgeon includ-

matter thoroughly know that they are
bound to make room eventually for the
two mentioned above and for the others
which we will unquestionably develop
as we 90 along.
