Outing Gives Hints on
Breast Stroke Swimming

use the arms as guides and balances
rather than chief means of propul-
sion. The power of the stroke should
come from the legs, especially at the
time of swapping together.
Palms of hands should be slightly
turned in making the arm stroke and
not brought back fiat against the water
as an oar would be used in rowing.
Ihls Is for two reasons: G) less effort
Is needed for the arm stroke and (2)
the slightly turned palm helps to keep
the body up and on the surface.
While legs are together in the
glide" position feet should be extend
ed and pointed in order to lessen re-
sistance.
The extension of the feet is done at
the time of swapping the legs together.
The foot should be f1exed and as
broad surface as possible presented
when extending the legs.
1t has well been said that the breast
stroke is the hardest stroke to master
and should be put last in the list to
learn, but the stroke has many excel
lent points in it's favor and should
nave a place in the repertoire of the
expert swimmer Once mastered, it
becomes source of pleasure and use
fulness to the aquatic athlete who has
IN mind the acquiring of all-round
ability in the art of swimming.-JuIy

TIME IN TENNIS

The tennis beginner never vollevs
the ball. If you volley the ball at him
he looks at you reproachfully, as if
you We're taking an unfair advantage
The champion volleys il every chance
he gets. The dub volleys it when he
has to--if he is a net player he looks
Tor chances. But a dub volley is all
too often thing to weep about rathe,
than applaud.
Let us theorize a minute about this
Volley matter. What's the use of a
Voiley, anyway? Why not stay back
OF the base line and hit everything or
the bounce?
The reason is the matter of time
Time is very important element in
any tennis rally To procure and use
as much time for you own strokes as
possible, to give your opponent the
least possible amount of time to plar
and execute his-that is half of the
game.
Hence the net player and the volley
for the ball cut off in ,nidair and
hot back again quickly gives the other
player less time to plan what he is 90.
ing to do next. and less time in which
to do it.-July Outing.
