elbow. As one arm leaves the water
the other enters and so on.
The breathing is bit confusing. 1t
is best to take a dozen strokes or so
without breathing at first, until you
get the idea of the leg and arm move
ment. This is easy.
Just lie flat on the water, move the
legs and arms as directed, and you
will be surprised, when you lift your
face for air, at the distance you have
covered.
Sometimes it is well to practice the

Western Aquatic Marvel.

The American crawl has been named
correctly the king Of all swimming
strokes. Once you see it done and get
the idea, it's goodbye to the breast
stroke, diving and everythingthat used
to be fun. The ambition for speed
and proficiency in this graceful, GID
ing stroke must be gratitied.
In all other strokes one seems con-
scious Of labor, effort and water re-
sistance. These somewhat unpleasant
factors are less noticeable in the
crawl.
This is the stroke that carried Duke
Kahanamoku, Norman Ross, Ludy
LANCER and other champions to victory
and fame. Every record holder, man
or woman, from the 25-yard dash to
the mile, has won with the crawl.
One never rests when crawling. 1t
is firing stroke until thoroughly mas
tered and the beginner must be content
with short distances at first AS har-
mony anG smoothness of action are &C
quired the distances can be increased.
This requires faithful practice.
When enc has q good, serv1ceable
crawl, he is lifted from the novice class
and considered an expert swimmer.
For the crawl is swimdom's master
stroke.
Practice the following instructions
into the water and do the same. Dent

"Few Of the young men from Aus
