O. P. Seventy-five years ago in a white frame srhoolhouse here a mass meeting was held that Riponites claim was the seed from which ■tprung fh p republican party of today ' Today, on the eve of the Jubilee that has been heralded throughout the land, all was confusion in Ripon as final preparations were made for the big event. Present Pageant Tonight Hundreds of workmen labored to complete the artificial touches neeasary in the natural amphitheater in which James W. Gor>d, secretary of war, will deliver the principal address of the jubilee. Seats were constructed upon a sloping hilhide of the Ripon college campus. At the base of the hill rested the white school house where the party supposedly was born and from the steps of which Good will deliver his address. . The entertainment provided pilgrims to the jubilee actually will begin tonight when a pageant will be staged. '■•The spectacle, directed by Professor H. P.

BY JOHNNY WEISSMULLER, I!V2t ind IS2B Olvmplc Champion. (Written for NEA Service by arrangement -vlth Swimmer Magazine i BEFORE writing my article on sprint swimming, allow me to congratulate The Times for co-op-erating in the “Safety for Swimming” campaign. A drive of this sort has been needed for a number of years, as evidenced by the yearly increase in drownings, and now that the swimmers have banded together with the coaches and organized groups to promote swimming, let us make it an annual event. Although I have not turned professional. I am going to cover my experiences as an amateur swimmer. I, for one, believe that championship sprint swimmers depend upon the following for their crowns in competition: Psychology, CO per cent; form, 30 per cent; strength, 10 per cent. Psychology Is Important Tt may appear surprising that the science of psychology plays such an important part. It will seem so to those high school and college swimmers who possibly have cut their psychology class time and again to practice their strokes. Nevertheless, I have found that the majority of my own victories were attained not so much by the sheer swimming of the race as by outwitting the other fellows before the race. During my training period for certain swims, for example, say, the 100-yard distance, I will repeatedly try to break the standing rec-

I ord. and if I do. will let it be known. The other swimmers who have been shooting at the old standard, j and who could not go under the old : mark, will immediately get to wor- | rying over the new record set. Worrying Kills Form As soon as the worry element enfers the mind of the competitor, I know that I have the advantage | over him. i His form is “shot” and he will try to outdistance me on his strength alone. His style is thrown to the wind, his swimming is erratic and he finally will break near the finish when I draw away from him j with my reserve strength, only about I 20 yards from the finish. Form aids a great deal in . the ; actual sprinting. I have found that riding high in the water lessens the resistence, which usually spells defeat to most swimmers. Keeping the body parallel with a steady kick gives one the rhythmic movement necessary. Four-Beat Crawl Best As far as strength is concerned, in my particular case, speed is derived from the pull of the arm, from

shoulder to hip. If you have wiry arms the same results will be apparent. The four-beat crawl, with two kicks of the leg to each turn of the arm or four beats to each complete circle of the arms, is preferable to the six and eight-beat ones used by many. There is no chopping and rigid glide with the four-beat as you'll find with the others. Breathing, no matter what type you use, should be done from the left side. But, coming back to psvchcology again, a trick I use occasionally, not for grandstand' play as might be

suspected, but for the reactions of the human mind to them, is keeping my opponents waiting and thereby making them nervous and tense. I can not impress upon aspiring sprinters too much the value of these bits of psychology. While my rivals take a duck before a race for limbering up pirnposes I usually walk to the side of the pool unnoticed. Then, when the start approaches, I plunge in and swim about for thirty seconds or so. This delay is sure to jar upon the nerves of the contestants and make them uneasy. They are not up to par. so to

speak, and consequently leave me at a slight advantage. So you see. you have to be able to beat the next fellow before the race
