Swimming THE CRAWL STROKE"

Water is a solid although yielding
substance. Motions to be effective
in water must be slow. The arm
should be bent in the stroke because
it divides the power burden between
the shoulder and the elbow. Before
the arm loses its leverage, the other
arm starts the downward stroke.
The arm is relaxed and bent on the
recovery. Through consecutive rev.
olutions of the arms there is never
an instant when some pressure is
not being exerted upon water.
The legs, ankles and toes are ex-
tended and close together. There is
4 little play at knees for relaxation.
Motive power in leg thrash comes
from the hip, one of the chief values
of the legs is the position it enables
you to keep, shoulders high, back
arched, hydroplaning, less resist
ance. Keep legs just under the sur
face of the water, peigeon toe, loose
ankles, weave toes and feet in and
out. Use each leg as a whip. There
is no leverage value to be secured at
the beginning of the catch of the
hand in the advanced position. For
this reason, it is poor judgment to
reach out too far ahead The elbow
should always be slightly bent. The
leg beat should be governed not by
theory. but by the feeling of co-or-
dinatiOn. Rolling on the down arm
instead of really pulling water with
the arm is simply letting it drift
through in the easiest position. Amy
jerky movements means that the
body is not relaxed enough.
The downward depression of the
arm could be made more forcefully |

if the pull was made straight down.
ward under the body. What is done
with the arms under water is what
produces forward motion" Much
comment is made as to the proper
arm entry into the water. The short
est path to the point of effective
power application is straight from
the hand to that point. In the quick
down thrust may be mentioned that
the arm losses weight as soon as it
is placed in the water. The swim
mer who lifts the dead weight of his
arm the extra distance will use
more energy. 1t seems reasonable
to conclude that the mash against
the surface should be eliminated and
a more economical method used of
getting the arm directly into its eff
fective position, approximately this
is downward on a slant of about
twenty degrees, or very close to six
inches, below surface for most
swimmers.
Power should not be sacrificed for
a fast stroke. Strength alone means
very little unless this strength is
applied purpOsely.
Another question arises as to cor
rect body angle? Man cannot attain
enough speed in water to make it
more economical to raise the head
and shoulders up out of the water in
an attempt to aquaplane. The fric-
tional resistance increases, it is
granted, but the effort to maintain
this position seems out of all pro-
portion to its usefulness. Raising the
head causes a greater displacement |

FOR SLAYER'S
BURIED GOLD
Attorneys Hope to Get Owens
From Cell As Guide;
Wife Fears Harm

Still seeking to unearth the
$15,300 hoard which William
Owens, 71-year-old accused slayer
of Elsie Louise Bryant, says is
hidden in the basement of his
home in Greater Capitol Heights,
Md, a searching party today re,
Sumed digging operations.
Owens attorneys, Joseph D.
DeLio and John P. Mullen, were
frustrated in their efforts to have
the accused man accompany
them, but went ahead with dig.
ging operations in order to allay
fears of the mans wife.
Judge Considers It
Justice William C. Let's still
has under consideration the ques-
ton of permitting Owens to go to
his home and asked Mr.. DeLio TO
furnish him during the afternoon
With authorities on Whlcn Che re-
quest could be granted.
Mrs. Owens, who lives at the.
two-story shack on c Street in
Greater Capitol Heights, is ap-
prehensive that she will meet with
harm unless the money is found
Immediately. 1t was at her re-
quest that digging was resumed
today.
The attorneys made a fruitless
effort Saturday to locate the
money. but today were prepared
to dig up the entire area described
by the aged man.
Mrs. Owens and two small
grandchildren live alone in the
small two-story frame house, and
she is apprehensive independent
searchers might harm her.
PrOWlers Threatened
However, she told her husbands
attorneys:
Nobody better prOWl around
here after dark. I'm going to
stay right in this house until
the money is found and any
one who comes sneaking around
will get a dose of red seal lye
in his face"
The attorneys seek the money
in the belief it will bolster theie
defense. Owens declares the girl
and a boy friend had plotted to
steal his money and he hid it,
leaving the iron box in which
he usually kept it weighted with
stones.
It was after the girl and boy
removed the box that the Staying
occurred, the attorneys say.

The operators declined to pay
off because in the prospectus he
submitted to his clients were
some games played on Friday in

that his runners did not bring

these four teams win he is sup

parable to those that helped to

cny after trust against Walter l..

ney, 1416 Twenty-third st. N. W.,
charges with absconding with q

played at Hatton'S apartment,

day night. Mckinney said he lost
all O.. his money except a $1,000
bill. Calling Hatton from the

Kinney said, he returned $97 of
the 500 he had borrowed and he
and Hatton went down town to
