Accompanied by a soldier named
Verdier, who also volunteered for the
task, Garandeau left the French

his way through the French barbed-
wire entanglements with nippers

able TO keep out Of the range Of the
Germans who could neither FIRE at
him or huri hand grenades without
exposing themselves to he deadly
machine gun barrage with which the
French were covering his worm-like

Anything worth doing at all is

tainly applies with all its force to
swimming.
There are thousands Of men and

cam they? Is mere ability to remain

t0nces really swimming? Nv.
Simply being able to plow through
water is no more swimming than a

CALL HIGGINS SUCCESSOR
TO MEL Sheppard

The Irish-American athletic club
OF New York believes It has a At sue
cessor to Mel Sheppard as a middle
distance runner in Joe Higginsi re-
cent conqueror OF Joie Ray, over the
mile route. who IS said to be the
most consistent performer over all
distances from the 44O to the mile the
east has seen in years.
Higgins received his early training
at Holy Cross, where he had no op-
position over the half-mile distance
and was scarcely ever headed over
the difficulty quarter.
Higgins has had remarkable sue
cess at 1000 yards and his time Of
4.27 is against Ray for the mile was
exceptional over the sloppy track on
/ which the race was run.
Higgins has not yet decided wheth-
er ne will stick exclusively to the
half mile and the i,0OO-yard distances
or whether he will go IN seriously for
the mile. Past performances seem to
I indicate that he runs more naturally
over the middle distances.

Fear OF plunging the face into wa

the WEAKNESS which spells the great

Many swimmers never learn 20 get

Greatest swimming comfort and &C.
