LEARNED TO PADDLE HIS SWIMMING CLUB NOW OWN CANOE--3 MINUTES A FULL-GROWN AFFAIR
Freshman Finds He is a Pretty Good Water
The University record in teaching a man to swim is but three minutes now, and this was recently achieved by Dr. Naismith, instructor of freshman paddle artists.
It seems that a large percentage of students entering the University are unable to swim a stroke, and many never see the star pupil recently discovered.
Before last week this young man had never been in swimming in all his life, but after his second lesson he was able to navigate the entire length of the pool in water over his head.
The method used is called "The Back to Nature" system. In this the instructor goes on the principle that the reason for man being unable to swim is that his motions are unnatural. In the case of animals the motions come natural, and they need no instruction. Therefore to teach anyone to swim it is only necessary that he be familiarized with the swimming movements of an animal. In swimming parlance this is called "swimming dog fashion."
The pupil is first given a lesson on dry land and taught to go through the motions until thoroughly familiarized with them. Then he is taught to become accustomed to the water by lying on his back and floating, holding on to a fishing pole extended by the instructor.
The third and final step is then administered when the pupil strikes out for himself with a life line attached to him. Usually several trials are necessary before the student makes any progress.
However, this wasn't true with
Officers, Requirements, and a Name Selected—Can You Make It?
The University Swimming Club, if you please, is now ready for membership. In the meeting last night the constitution and entrance requirements made up by the committee were adopted and the name of the club was decided upon.
The constitution provides that any student meeting the requirements can apply for and obtain membership to the club. The examination is that every member shall be able to swim fifty feet in twelve seconds, a hundred feet in thirty seconds, one hundred yards in one hundred seconds, and a quarter of a mile in fifteen minutes. A few very simple diving requirements are also demanded.
The permanent officers elected were L. E. Brown, president, and Breathitt Robertson, secretary and treasurer.

the prodigy. With but one trial he safely swam the pool cross-wise and was on the way to his swimming diploma, the most successful case Dr. Naimshi has ever had.
Students desiring to learn special strokes will be given attention by Dr. Naismith every afternoon at four o'clock. Lessons are also given in the correct way to rescue a drowning person.

hamilton Squad Intends to Erase Defeat by Manhattan—Easy Game Anticipated.
VARSITY IN BETTER SHAPE
The varsity five left this morning for Manhattan where they will mix tonight and Friday night with Coach Lowman's winners. The Lowman five have just returned from a trip in which the record was four straight wins for the regular varsity quintette, the only defeat was that from the Warrenburg aggregation and this was due to the fact that only the second team was used.
To win will mean much for the Kansas team. Their record against Manhattan now stands two defeats and no wins. Unless the Jayawkers and smear the Aggies,ances for a disrupted Jayawk title will be small.
Passing Ball Better
Whether the reorganized squad can turn the trick or not is a matter of uncertainty when the comparative playing strength of the two teams is considered. Judging from past dope the Farmers have a slight edge on the Jayhawker five in passing the ball. This should not be so large as in the former contests as the work of the Hamilton five in the second game showed that they had partly solved this intricate system of carrying the ball down the court.
Poor goal shooting was the main cause for the two former wins of the Lowman machine and with the Kansas five hitting their stride as they practiced, the Agricultural squad will not have any decided advantage.
At center Boehm plainly has the jump on the Manhattan center and the varsity will have this in their favor. Fighting as the team is capable of doing the Hamilton quintette stand a good chance of getting revenge if their present goal hitting stride continues. But if the varsity has the slightest slump in their work it will be easy for the Aggies.
Washburn Should Be Easy. The trip will end with a return game with the ichabads at Topeka. Despite the fact that the team will be weakened by the fact that they are playing on a strange court and just returning from a trip, this game should be easy. However, this not mean that the game will be a walk-a-way as the Washburn team will be greatly strengthened by the daily practices since the last schedule.
The line up for the first game will probably be Boehm, center; Brown and Sproull forwards; and Captain Greenlee and Dummire, guards.
The men making the trip will be: Brown, Dunnie, Weaver, Smith, Boehm, Sproull, Hite and Captain Greenelees.

Here's A Scientific Solution
A wet stone freezes just like anything else with water in it. That's why they are stacking the stones from the "Ad" building excavation, those that they will need for the foundation, with liberal interlayers of straw. The pebbles, weighing only a ton or two, are carried from the excavation to the piling ground, northeast of the Engineering building, by means of a cable and pulley, like the apparatus boys used to fix to ride across creeks on; remember?
