Athletic wiseacres figure that when the season ends next November the standing of the leading conference elevens will be as follows: Baylor, Texas A. and M., Southern Methodist University, Texas University and Texas Christian University. The complete Southwest conference roster is as follows: Texas Uni- versity, Texas A. and M.

ILLINOIS SETS PACE IN THE CONFERENCE Since the palmy days &f the old University of Michigan athletic dy- nasty, honors in sport in the Middle- west have been pretty well distributed. But with the results of the 1923- 1924 season turned in, Illinois finds herself in the proud position of sitting back and contemplating an athletic prominence that carries one back to the old Maise and Blue regime for analogy. Here is how the list runs: Foot ball—Tie for championship. Basket ball—Tie for championship. Track and field—Championship. Indoor track and field—Champion- ship. Golt—Championship. Tennis—Championship. If an alluring record of this sort does nothing else, it appeals to bud- ding athle in the secondary schools—and is certainly an adver- tisement for the Illinols summer school for coaches.

BY L. DE B. HANDLEY. Coach of American Women's Olympic Swimming Team and Leading Authority on Natation. schooling in swimming have crawl system is best. P RACTICAL and comparative tests with many methods of elementary demonstrated conclusively that the Experiments have proven that the beginner taught by means of the crawl not only acquires the rudiments of watermanship in the shortest time, but gains proficiency far more rapidly, also. There can be no ques- tion, therefore, concerning the advisability of following the crawl method In undertaking to learn toswim the novice should not overlook the im- portance of secking favorable condi- tlons for practice, or progress may be needlessly retarded Confidence is one of the greatest factors in gaining skill, and nothing so makes for confidence as bodily comfort and a feeling of security. A pool affording waist-deep water at approximately blood temperature provides ideal conditions, as the knowledge that bottom is within easy reach inspires a sense of perfect safe- ty and the lack of chill in the water increases assurance and militates to- ward muscular relaxation. If no pool answering such require- ments is available, effort should be made to find some beach offering the wanted conditions as early as pos- sible and also some upright surface such as a dock, wall, rock pile, etc., from which to push off in getting un- der way. The body floats a deal easier when starting momentum is imparted to it. The first step of the prospective swimmer should be %0 stand with back to pool side or upright, bend one leg at the knee, resting the foot on wall, then extend the arms for- ward on the surface, hands touching, take a deep breath, submerge the face and push off smartly with raised foot, immediately stretching out full length, with body forming a straight lne from fingers to toes. Tnder the impetus of the push-off even the tyro will glide along for a few yards without sinking and be nade to realize that it is easy to stay afloat. The experiment also gives the correct idea of the position to assume in swimming the crawl. After gliding motionless a few times the kick is taken up. Again starting with a push-off—one always should in getting under way—and once more stretching out flat, face submerged, the novice sets to thrashing the legs up and down alternately, but simul- taneously, so that one will rise as the other drops. The legs are held al- most straight, but completely relaxed, allowing for some play at knees and ankles; the feet are pointed and turn- ed the least bit inward, pigeontoed. The thrash should be rather fast, but easy, applylng very little energy, and the distance between heels should not exceed eight inches at full opening. Most people are able to perform this action at the first trial. Next one tackles the arm move- ments and it is advisable to first try them standing, but bent forward from the waist. Thrusting one arm for- ward along the surface, the other backward, and turning the head to- ward the latter, one proceeds to sweep the arms alternately in circles, each passing close to the thigh in the downward and backward movement, well above shoulder-line in the up- ward and forward motion. The head is turned to the right throughout the forward half circle of the right arm, to the ‘left through the same act of the left arm. > ¥ Taia timing of fhe Maed. turas ia By Ripley.
