Aid for Nation S 10000 Paralysis Cripples
Is Planned By New York State Go0ernor

WARM SPRINGS. Ca. April r.
When medical authorities tell you
that half OF the nations 800, 900
cripples a blame their a~ffliction
on infantile paralysis you realize
then what it means.
This explains the three-year ex-
pertinent here that Governor Frank

now hopes to spread throughout the
United States. The Georgia Warm
Springs Foundation, hitherto pri-
vately financed by Governor Roose-
welt and a few public -spirited
friends, IS now seeking 81. 250. 900 TO
expand and permanize the work.
Swimming back to health" as
the unique treatment has been de-
scribed, Is the method. Crippled
patients here spend hours ach day
in a modern swimming pool. exer-
cising laggard muscles under the ex-
pert guidance Of IL pretty girls In
bathing suits who have been trained
as physiotherapiStS.
Governor Roosevelt has not found
a cure for infantile paralysis, or poll
iomyelitis as the doctors call It.
Medical science knows no cure. But
he has found a way to help the
cripples that the disease leaves In
its wake-of putting new life into
deadened nerves and warped mus
cles.
Water Naturally Warm
Warm Springs is thus known be-
cause Of a natural spring that sup
plies a steady stream OF water at SO
degrees. Winter or summer, 1t Is al
ways the same.
For many years 1t was a popular
summer resort, famous for its ever
tepid swimming pool. There we're re-
ports, too, that this water heated
by underground sources possessed
curative values for rheumatism and
the like.
"A report Of this kind from George
Foster Peabody. a former resident
Of Columbus. Ga, led Roosevelt to
Warm Springs to seek relief from
his own condition. Peabody told him
Of a Columbus boy. crippled by in
fantile paralysis. who hed been made
well by bathing in the warm water.
Foundation Is Formed
Roosevelt went to Warm Springs
in 1924 and 1925. each time spend
ing several weeks exercising and
swimming in the pool. Impressed
by his own Improvement, he decided
TO conduct experimental work under
expert medical supervision. DR.. Lee

The buoyancy OF the water makes
it possible to exercise for a longer
time without getting tired. Floating
legs and arms are not so heavy Tor
weak muscles to lift.
While the natural warm water at
Warm Springs apparently has GER
tain natural advantages, Governor
Roosevelt believes that similar re-
sorts could operate successfully with
artificially heated water. In this lies
the hope that others will follow in
various parts OF the country, thus
making the unique treatment avail

The fact that superior engine
performance together with unpre-

which has caused wide comment in

LONG TIME NEEDED
TO PERFECT PLAYS
Stanford Men Can Spend Five
Years Studying Formations,
but Cadets Can't.
BY LAWRENCE PERRY.

n JEW YORK, June II (CPAD.
mi Stanford men and foot
ball followers on the West
Coast generally are in
rather a dubious state of mind
concerning the success of West
Point with the Warner style of
play.
Primarily. it is pointed out, there is
no rule at West Point which permits a
player to spend flve years studying
formations "a" "B" and &C." as play
ers do at Stanford. where, under the
rules Of the Pacific Coast Conference, a
man may play In non-conference games
cluded against his record.
A student, 1t seems, may leave college
after the foot ball season, return the
following Fall and take up his scholastic
work, playing foot ball until he has
played three seasons against conference
teams. They say that Ray Tandy, next
years captain, will return for his fifth
year at Stanford next Fall, just as
Chuck Smalling did last year and
others.
How 1t Is Done.
In this way, by keeping men on the
in such way as not to impair their con-
ference eligibility, the men learn how to
be perfect cogs in the Warner machine
The Warner system Is as exact in its
demands in the way Of timing, pre-
cision, def maioeuvering as can be i'm
agined. 1t Is not, so Californians think
to be picked up in the course of one
year or two.
In this connection it is recalled that
before Pop Warner came to Stanford he
had Andy Kerr, his diminutive alter
ego, planted at Palo Alto laying
groundwork Of the Warner system OF
offense.
And after q Stanford team gets it.

YACHT WEETAMOE
LEADING IN TESTS
Has Won Two of Three Trials
and Appears as Likely
Defender of Cup.
BY LAWRENCE PERRY.

NEW YORK, June II (CPA).-All
Of the sioops that have been built a.
candidates for selection as defender of
the Americas Cup agar p Shamrock v
are racing today on the Sound for the
first time.
Yankee. the sloop designed by Frank
Paine and built at NeponSet, Mass, by
a syndicate of the Boston members of
the New York Yacht Club, came to City
Island from New England waters yester-
day, and while three of the defense
sloops were racing in the special regatta
wanhaka Corinthian Yacht Club, the
Boston boat was seen tuning up,
stretching her sails in the distance.
Such glimpses of her as were caught
made her out to be q pretty smart boat,
In looks anyway.
It begins to look as If the Morgan
syndicate boat Weetamoe is very much
at home under these conditions. Any
way, sailed very deity by her amateur
skipper, George Nichols, she won ner
second race of the season yesterday. In
asmuch as only three races have been
held it will be seen that Weetamoe Is
batting high just now. She Is slick
boat and il she does as well under con-
ditions that run from lusty to boisterous
she Is likely to be the yacht which will
defend & American nautical prestige
against the Upton challenge.
Enterprise Also Good.
Enterprise, the Burgess designed sloop,
which trailed the Morgan boat by a min
ute and a half over the 25-mile triangle,
is, however, a nippy craft herself. Sailed
by Harold S. Vanderbilt she has won
one race and is close enough to Weeta-
moe on all comparisons to indicate that
the two sloops are going to have battle
before one or the other definitely proves
to be the superior.
Meanwhile there Is the Whirlwind,
designed by the younger Herreshon.
Here Is bruising, powerful craft which
can storm along like the mischief. But
to date she has not sailed as well into
the wind as her rivals. 1t seems strange
that a Hereshof would turn out a craft
that is comparatively poor to weather.
And maybe he has not. It may be
that when problems of headrig are adj
juSted this largest Of all the defender
sloops will come into her own. On
Monday she finished third. It may be

liam Swan had better navigate the

Swan is q racing skipper Of the highest
caliber.
While the wind was 10 knots yes
terday, the sort of wind that inspires
yachtsmen, It proved to have q variable
quality which in the end marred the
race. The last leg of the 25-mile tri-
angle was to be a beat, and windward
work Is always an essential part of 9
yacht race. But after the sloops had
sailed or miles the wind shifted
from east southeast to south, which
gave the yachts another reach
