ST. Paul. MINI. Dec. Moving
pictures OF the Gibbons-O'Dowd box
ing match at the auditorium were
shown privately at the New Palace
theater Saturday and they disclose
what those who saw that, memorable
contest already knew-that 1t was a
wonderful battle and that the verdict
belonged to O.Dowd by a shade. The
pictures r wonderfully clear con-
sfdering that they were not taken in
the open under natural light.
Portions Of the battle were missed
by the camera, noticeably several
times when O'Dowd had Gibbons
crowded against the ropes and once
when he had the, Phantom half way
through them. but in the main the
high spots in the contest were re-
cS-ded and r shown.
The pictures do not show clearly
how p~rofusely the Phantom's left eye
bled throughout the battle. but In
asmuch al the hlm will be shown be-
fore women and children, that Is no

generally known and used. >the leg
movements are regular. In the plain
crawl there is q brief period when
he arms r not Offering any for
ward propulsion. This is when one
arm Is moving upward at the back
and the forward nm Is being moved
forward at the beginning Of another.
Now, in the new six-beat' double
ttudgeon crawl the leg kick at the
end of each arm stroke Is empha-
sized. This stronger kick prevents
the body from losing its momentum
and keeps up the plane effect. The
length Of this strong kick is, of
course. greater than that Of the ordi-
nary kicks. AS a result the kicks
resolve themselves into two major
and two minor movements. coming in
regular order. hence the name.
The big feature Of the stroke is
that 1t keeps the body going at an
even pace and increases the advant-
g gained by the planning.
LANCER and other critics said the
new stroke was too tiresome for dis
lance swimming. Miss Boyle and
Miss Bleibtrey proved that this idea
was a fallacy.
