made Its appearance and la draw4nw tha
attention of aquatlo experts. Although
only n slight modification of tho popular
trudgeon-crawl, student!! of natation be
lieve It will prove more effective than
the latter In middle and Ion distance
swimming, for It enables one to use to
greater advantage the rower of tho legs.
The dlfterenre between tt two
strokes la merely one of lea- ditva. In
the trudgoon-crawl tha swimmer takes
a narrow scissor kick nt tho finish of
tha top-ana pull, then performs a eon-
tinueus ernwl thrash until ths time
comes for another aciaaor. In the u
stroke. Instead, the first scissor Is fol
lowed By a nattering motion of ttio feet,
then tho swimmer rolls gently and in
troduces a second sol sane kick, this
tlma driving with the ether leg, at the
ena or under-arm pull. In a nutshell,
the leg action Is a continuous crawl
thrash wtlh narrow scissor, kicks brought
In aa each arm completes Its pull.

Does it take an lc sharp to play on a
curling rink?
While the six Scotch curling rinks wra
battling for the John U Kennedy cup at
Miller park New Year'e day aa argu
ment based on that 'question eras among
a tittle knot of American s Uteri.
After several minutes of discussion It
was unanimously agreed that the only
qualification to be a curler wad to be a
Scotchman.
Every last man on tho six rinks which
Played at Miller park Is Scotch. First t
attract attention were Charley Johnson,
Bill Clark and Tom Leuchers. Johnson
is golf professional at the Happy Hollow,
Clark occupies th same position at ths
Field club and Leuchers Is an assistant
professional Thus It Is learned a Scotch
golfer can be a curler.
Tr.en attention Is drawn to J. W. Muir.
Howard Home. W. J. Ills op, Peter jow
den. W. R. Ounn, Bob Gait. Bob Melvtn
and the others, all Scotch soccer fiends.
Thus a Sovtch soccer player can be a
curler.
But from the lineup of the rinks It
must be a Scotch golfer and a Scotch
soccer player, for In those lineups no
English golfers nor English soccer play
ers are found Bo while golf and socoer
may be railed Scotch games, ths real
Scotch gams Is curling, and If th above
evidence won't convince you go out te
MUler park some dsy and hear them
call "soop her up" and "she's on the
Pt lid" and ''that was a braw etaos
and "a haun laid doon yin."
