Norman Ross, the Olympic champion, und mombers of the Western Associa~ tion, Mr. Rubien, President of the Metropolitan Association, has just an- nounced the new rules that will gov- ern swimming in the future. The most important of these is the change made in the starting of the athletes off thelr marks. In the past it was customary as in a track meet to send the swimmers away after haying: “Get on your mark; get set;” then the gun. In the future It will be ‘wet set,” then the gun. Tho rule follows: ‘The start shall be made in this fasttion: The swimmers lined up and informed above, will be comtnanded, t ready,” when the starter sees all are set, the gun shall be fired. In indoor meets the signal to start may be given by word of mouth. ‘The start in all races shall be made with a dive except in back stroke races, which shall be as provided for in rule 6. The starting stations shall be drawn for, No. starting from the right facing the course. In the plunge for distance the new! rules will be enforced as follows: ‘This rule is on probation for one year, November, 1921, to No- vember, 1222, The old rule, how- ever, shall govern the 1921-22 championships.) A plunge shall be a standing dive from a firm take-off, such take-off not. to exceed ocighteen inches in eight from the surface of the water, After the dive the body is to be kept motionless, face down- ward, an¢ no progressive action imparted to it other than the im- petus of the dive.

Kuch contestant shall have at an eight-foot lane. to wive them an opportunity to ll their lungs with air and be proper- ly warned, the method of starti shall be this: The starter s fount off aloud the seconds from one to five, firing the gun on the aixth second. In pools greater than seventy- five feet the contest may be con- ducted with contestants leaving one at a time—the competitor cov- ering the greatest distance In ¢ minute being declared winn The number of plunges shall be decided by committee holding games. In case of contestants breakin: they shall be called back; continual or wilful breaking warrants dis- qualification. The first contestant to touch the finish line shall be de- clared winner. In case the finish is not at a solid wall, a pole shal! ho placed in the water. If heats are necessary, they shall be handled as in a race. The saine terulations shall prevail regarding fouling. (Note—The object of these rulos fer plunging is to facilitate the handling of contests where a great aumber of plungers are entered. in case of mediocre performers it 1s easy to judge by the eye which men go furthest, and by sending ‘vera: off together the meet ts speeded up that much. The ele- ment of competition, heretofore lacking, is provided for the star performers.) Points in the championship shall count as follows: . First in swim, plunge or dive.. _ Second in swim, plunge or dive. ‘Third in swim, plunge or dive Virat in rela: Second in relay race. ‘Third in relay race.
