COLLEGIANS WORKING
ON YALE GOLF LINKS
BY WALTER CAMP.

Yale and Dartmouth students, at
tracted by opportunity for Summer
work, have been laboring on the new
which was made possible through the
generosity of the widow of the late
Ray Tompkins.
The tract upon which the course is
located has some rock ledgeS, and it
is here that the Yale and Dartmouth
undergr 43 of them
have been working under the dfrec-
tion of the contractors. Yale golfers
this Fall will be gladdened by the
sight of what already begins to look
like a real golf course.
1t is tough luck that the star

Evidently all opponents looked
alike to this stellar product of Wal

Golf instructors will tell you not to
slug at the ball. But the only PEN
atty they predict for failure to heed
their warning is a topped or missed
shot.

FINNS OVERTRAINED,
SAYS u. S. ATHLETE
BY WALTER CAMP.

With the return of the Olympic ath-
Ietes we are getting some new lights
upon these games. One reports that
the food at the Yankee training quar-
ters was not what many of the men
wanted and that there were some
coaching difficulties.
But this is rather unimportant at
this time compared with the comment
upon theeFinnish athletes. 1t is be-
lieved they are prematurely aged
through their methods of training and
the severity of it.
Reports describe Nurmi and Stenross
as looking like old men, and say that
Willie Ritola has developed varicose
veins in his legs. Nevertheless it is
believed Nurmi can break his mile
record, and will do so. This will
cause the public over here to be all
the more anxious for visit from this
remarkable Finn.
We have many unrecorded remark
able performances, but two of the lat
est look reasonable. One of these is
the report that Nurmi, the Finn, COW
cred the mile in 4 minutes seconds
and another is that Ned Gourdin
jumped rs feet inches the day after
LIE Gendre did his 25 feet inches.
Both are quite within the range of
possibilities. Hubbard is the only
man yet who has bettered rs feet
twice in actual competition. but-any
one of this trio has it in him to ap-
proximate IS feet, strange as such
a statement would have appeared in
1920.

the left arm, until this arm has COM
pleted its forward glide. In fact, you
should not begin to roll back or
straighten4 the head until the left arm
has started to drive again.
The head should swing as if rested
on pivot. It should merely twist
in the acts of breathing, never move
up and down nor bend toward either
shoulder. 1t helps greatly to glance
at right angles to the body through
out the recovery of the top arm while
inhaling and to keep the eyes ap-
proximately at water level through
out the recovery of under arm while
exhaling beneath the surface. That
virtually insures correct carriage of
the head.
Any one who experiences difficulty
in working the arms Independently of
the shoulders and head will find IL
profitable to practice the action at

In a nutshell, the shoulders should
be fiat and square and the head
straight in normal position through
the top arm Con the inhaling side) is
driving; the shoulders should be at an
angle (top shoulder back of under)
and the head turned throughout the
second half Of each stroke, while the
top arm is recovering.
To properly perform the rolling mo-
tions necessary for the purpose of in
power with the under arm before roll
ing or turning the head to -inhale,
then to apply power with the top arm
before rolling back on returning the
head to normal position.
Failure to start the drive of either
side before rolling or moving the
head unavoidably will cause one ell
full reach, and the early part of the
propelling movement of that arm will
be entirely wasted.
To make clear the foregoing let us
assume that you, the reader. turn the
head to the left to inhale. In starting
to swim, after setting the feet in mo-
tion you should drive first with the
left arm but stay fiat with head
straight until the left hand nears the
thigh. Then you catch (apply power)
with the right arm and Immediately
roll, turn the head to the left and
bring the left arm out of the water.
Note at this moment that the roll
of the body and the sweep out of the
left arm will have caused your left
shoulder to drop back of the right.

Once the independent action can be
executed adequately before the mirror
1t usually can be performed properly
in the water also. as the muscles have
grasped the feeling of it.
1t has been mentioned that the
novice should roll rather heavily at
first to facilitate inhaling. AS one
improves, however, the roll gradually
should be decreased. Eventually the
crawl swimmer should roll no more
than absolutely necessary to bring
the mouth above water for inhaling
