IN DECIDING NET HONORS | testants to catch a traln after each | ARTICLE VI.

They wonder what is wrong, but there is no one to tell them. If they could only find out, it would open a new vista to them. It would bring a new era. Their abilitics would be multiplied as if over night. For this reason I plan to go into considerable detail. Having taught swimming for twenty-five years | have come to appreciate the importance of this subject. I speak of it so that others may not underestimate this section of the series. In the last lesson I told you the theory of breath control. Now in this lesson I hope to be able to give you the exercises so you 1 put this theory into practice. First, it is advisable to have a little preliminary drill on dry land. 1 would suggest that you sit down in a comfortable chair. Open your mouth by relaxing vour lower jaw erfough to say “Ah-ah!" or to take a bite out of a big chocolate cake at a picnic. Then relax your diaphram. As you do this the air pressure forces the air into your lungs through your mouth. Do not suff your lungs. Take whatever air the outside pressure puts in naturally. Just take a quick bite. Dry Land Exercises Outlined For Learning “Explosive exhale™— breathing exercise for beginners, shown by Johnny Weiemuller. Why It Makes You Dizzy. OUR lungs are now normally filled. Shut your mouth, com- press your lips and order your diaphram to squeeze the air out of vour lungs through your com- pressed lips, just as the haild would squeeze the air put oi the hole in a soft rubber ball. To get the proger shape to the mmouth, just imagite you are Rlaying a cornet. Do not blow out all your air. Keep a little. If you inhale and hale more than normally in this exercise, you will get more oxygen than your lungs are accustomed to. This may make you lightheaded.

This is quite as | it should be, for Maiden developed the young southern star, and golfers who have been trained under Maiden are always quick to catch in Jones’ style the handiwork of the southern instructor.

And here {s a very extraordinary thing about Maliden. He is essen- tlally a professor in golf. He him- self 1s not a mug hunter, as so many professionals are—men who, although ostensibly attached to clubs in the capacity of teachers, are really con- cerned in training for {mportant tour- naments throughout the country. Maliden's golf is sound as the eternal verities of life, but he is not a bril- liant contender for titles. His satis- faction comes from seeing his pu- pils win. He came north to trail Bobby Jones through the recent open tourney, and no one who *knows him can have any doubt that his satis- faotlon in the miccess of his pupil was greater than though he had played and won the championship himself.

Try to do this unnatural exercise at the natural pace. The mouth is not opened wide for the purpose of suffiing your lungs, but to enable you to get your air easily and quickly and to decrease suction. In this exercise the mouth should snap open at the finish of the exhal- atiop and take a quick bite. Take your breath and blow it out slowly. " Are you dizzy after doing this? If you are, it is because you stuff your- self inhaling and you blow out too much air exhalipg, as I told you a while back. 16 to 22 Times a Minute. ARE you relaxed as you sit in vour chair practicing this exercise? You probably will notice a decided tendency to tense your muscles. Relax. Try to keep up the regular, steady breathing pace of sixteen to twenty-two times a minute. very quickly Now that you have gained some idea of voluntary breathing, let’s try to put it into practice. Take a breath, fill your lungs, shut your mouth and hold vour breath for a few seconds. ow with extra compression on your lips, give a forcible, explosive blow to empty your lungs. Immediately open your mouth and let the air run into your lungs. Follow this up by breath- ing very easily and normally, a.l with your mouth, of course, until you get back to normal. Always open vour mouth wide when you inhale. To the begin- ner this gaping looks ungainly, but if you watch any experienced swimmer you will notice that he always opens his mouth wide when he inhales. The forceful explosive exhale will be used to advantage in the next lesson, which will be in the water.
