Comedian to Dive

act is a panic of aquatic Glowing
and always rolls the spectators in
the aisleS; the water or the sand,
depending on where they're stand
ing. After hitting the water flat
as a pancake, doing a swan dive
in the goose manner and being edi-
fyingly ungraceful in other. watery
ways, Senior Flocco will go into re-
verse and give an exhibition Of ex-
pert diving at its best.

innings today and tomorrow
