Camp Appoints
Directors for
Navy Athletics

NEW HAVEN, April Walter
Camp general commissioner of ath-
letics in the United States Navy, has
announced the appointment of three
athletic directors under the auspices of
the Navy Commission on Training
Camp Activities. DR.. Charles NJ
Wharton has been made field secretary
of naval athletics; Louis A. Young
has been appointed athletic director at
the Fifth District, of which Norfolk
and Hampton Roads are the centres,
and p. c. Henderson has been made
athletic director at the Seattle station
MIR. Camp also announced that the
crawl has been adopted as the uni
form stroke for universal instruction
in swimming classes in the naval train
ing stations. He made public a simple
course of swimming lessons which he
has devised as a part of his plan to
teach the aquatic art to every sailor
in the navy camps.
Two drills are included in Comms-
sioner Camps course; the land drill
and the water drill. In both, he says,
the crawl" should be taught, as he
has found it to be the most satSfac-
tory for the development of swimmers.
He also makes it clear that there is
to be no departure from this routine
until all have thoroughly learned how
to swim.
Learn Stroke on Land
The land drill is mainly to train the
men in the proper way to stroke. 1t
consists of standing erect, heels to-
gether and with arms sideways at
sides. Raise arms to level with shoul-
elbows to right angle with upper arm,
bringing left arm sharply down to the
thigh.
The right arm prescribes the same
movement. while the left arm is car
ried upward and sideways until it
reaches a position at right angles
with the shoulder when the stroke is
completed. The right arm stroke is
exactly the same, continuity of action
is vital

supposedly the tamperng with players under contract
