HONOLULU, October 15.--Miss Ger

York Women's Swimming Associa-

when she stroked the 400-meter free
style event in minutes 81 2-5 sec
onds in the A. A. u. water meet
Previously she had hung up new
records for the 100-meter, free-sty1e
swim and the 2oo-meter, open-water
event.
The previou American record for
the 400-meter free-style distance
was made by Miss Ederle in 1922, and
was minutes LIS second.
Mariechen Wehselau, the Hawaiian
star, was the New York mermaid s

race. as she was in the 100-meter and
200-meter events.

who finished second, and Warren
Kealoha, who came in third. Both

thing. In Bowman she has as nifty
an open-field runner as any coach
could desire and, besides, he sends
away 50yard punts easily and nat
urally. At the same time Bowman is
sufficiently strong and rugged to as
sail the line.
Zimmerman is another hard and
elusive runner and Mcbride is a stun
ming back. So is Foley. Here are
men who can punt, throw the ball,
catch 1t and run with it.
When they and the line cooperate
to better advantage, as they did in
the last quarter of the Alabama game,
Syracuse is going to be a hard team
for any outfit to stop. 1t is Il stall
wart set of forwards that lines up
for the Orange. Their charge is hard
and powerful. Perhaps it may prove,
against an alert and resourceful at
tack, that they keep their heads too
near the ground, but the shock of
their charge cannot be gainsaid.
In all, the team is very promising
one. 1t is brawny, powerful, has all
sorts of genius in the backfield and
speed and strength in the line. 1t is
one of those outfits which will take
all the coaching a coach has to give.
Since Chick Meehan has lot to give,
the team should rank in Novembef
among the outstanding teams of tht

Alabama Lacks Coordination.

yet green and inexperienced, so far as
the finer points of the game are con-
cerned Her scheme in play, mas
much as it involves various shifts of
the backfield, is all right enough in
conception, but as yet it does not
operate with precision. When the
backs and the linemen. all brawny,
are co-ordinated, Alabama should be
able to strike hard and effectively.
From what was seen Saturday, it
must be said that Alabama seemed
to be relying too much upon sheer
strength. In the backfield was none

otherwise Whether or not Tusca-
loosans have some potential Buck
Flowers, Red Barron. Shirley. Strup-
per or like stars, remains to be seen.
In other words, Alabama is more of
a defensive eleven than an offensive
outfit. Without breaks of any sort,
Saturdays score should have been
much lower than ii was, and, by this
token, it does not reflect the future
possibilities of Alabama.

cite good authorities to prove that
any system of passing is quite the
right one. Notre Dame uses both
styles of passing. and as they feature
this method of attack it would seem
that Rockne is not welded to either
a hard, low pass or a high lob.
The method of passing has far less
to do with the successful execution
of the forward pass than other fac
tors, such as deception and clearing
the receiver. Some teams work their
passes another way. They turn loose
a good catcher who Is fast and shifty
and he follows no set route in find-

season in way that indicates Ath-
letic Director Charley Moran was
right when he made the statement
several days ago that the Brookland-

foot ball is and just how easily the
