HUNTING SEALS ON ICE FL0ES IS
 PER!LOUS WORK
Lives Are Lost in Filming of The Viking in
 Newfoundland

Hunting seals over floating ice floes on rough seas appears to be a mighty dangerous job, as reveal led in The Viking which will be- Iein showing tomorrow at the Cap isol theatre.
 But, according to a letter to his father from the late Varick Fris- sell, who lost his life in the Vik- ing disaster while completing the film, the canleramen who followed the hunters with heavy cameras fand sound equipment, took much greater risks.
 Quoting from the letter
 The seal hunters are a rough lcs. They hadn't much respect for us at first, regarding us as a lot of playacting 'whitenoses,' which means men spending their first winter in Newfoundland.
 Sealers Changed Minds 4 But when Gandolfi and Keller man, our canneramen, went right over the floating ice into the thick of the hunt with them, and Man Ichee kept close up with the mic rophcne, the sealers changed their minds.
 All the sealers carry is gun and pike staff Our cameras weigh about 100 pounds each, and the mikes, with their heavy wire cables running back to the ship, were the very devil to drag along
 Nobody works or hunts alone on the ice. Two men or more, often tied together with rope, or one carrying it, always go together.
 Mighty Slippery Footing
 ''The ice is nightly slippery foot ing. Heavy boots and clothing make swimming difficult, and any way, the icy water brings almost Instant paralysis. AS a result, not one sealer in a hundred has both- Tered to learn to swim It would mt be any use. We only lost one camera. Gondolfi and Kellerman came through with few icy baths.f
 Penrod, the third cameraman on the job, lost his life in the Viking explosion with Frissell. The film shows how sealers use ex- plosives to blast their ship free when. it gets jammed in the ice.

still or his body immovable Whether
or not the best putCerS do stand per-
fectly still while making the stroke
has nothing to do with it. The point
is that trying to do these things pro-
duces tension. and tension must be
avoided. l should always advise to
forget these things entirely and to
allow them to take care of themselves,
If the motion of the swing suggests the
necessity of a slight movement of the
body, then by all means let it move.
The feeling of ease and comfort thus
gained is worth all the mechanical
perfection that could be crammed into
a dozen strokes Rhythm and smooth
ness-smoothnesS and rhythm-these
are the two things most desired.
Now to be a little more speciflc-1
find that it is an aid to comfort to
stand with my feet quite close together.
Just as l would stand normally If l
were not playing golf shot, to permit
a slight bend in both knees, ana 10
keep my arms close to my body. Per-
haps, since the word keep" connotes
the exercise of some restraint, 1t would
be better to say that 1 refrain from
extending my arms away from my
body. The photograph illustrates all
these points and the further fact that
my elbows each show a considerable
bend This attitude is the one which
1 find the most comfortable and the
one which best encourages ease and
relaxation I may say that there IS
at least nothing about it which is at
all studied or artificial.
Should Be Long Sweep.
I think the best conception to have
of the putting stroke itself is that 1t
should be long sweep. 1 like to feel
that, instead Of driving the ball toward
the hole, 1 am merely sweeping it or
bowling it over the green. The TWO
important characteristics OF the stroke
which this kind of picture induces are,
first, a marked flatness of the arc-the
blade of the putter never rises abruptly

TINE most sensible thing which
could be said about the proper
address for the putt is that
i every possible consideration
should be sacrificed to COM
fort. and as I have said before the
thing which prevents this most ofsen
is the attempt to reproduce exactly the
method of some one else. :,
There is no possibility of putting well
without a rhythmic stroke, directed oy
relaxed muscles. capable OF receiving
the most delicate impulses. To Stucl-
ously initiate in all respects the atti-
tude of another player Immediately sets
up a strain or tension which makes
smooth stroking impossible. No matter
how great or how perfect may be the
model, his posture cannot be the easiest
and most comfortable for every one.
l have been through all this myself,
so I think 1 am qualified to speak. No
one could have had more worry in de-
veloping a reliable putting method than
have l. In the various st3ges OF my
labor l have tried to initiate the styles
of nearly all the great putters-tried to
make myself look like them and given
myself. as nearly as possible, the same
manneriSms-andi in the end l became
unalterably convinced that the attempt
to initiate was itself the most serious
mistake I was making. Now I never
give a thought to the placing of my
feet, to the inclination or the facing of
my body nor to anything else except
assuring a definitely affirmative answer
to the question, Am 1 comfortable?"
