SWANTON IVY, 1NC.—125 EAST BROAD STREET Lo CHARLIE YATES 15 BEST SINCE JONES Ceorgia Tech Star Plans - Active Campaign in | Golf Next Month i P TR R | BY KENNETH GREGORY | (Associatad Press Sports W r~iter) l ATLANTA —(# — Curly hair | ed Charlie Yates, a youngster ‘with in glam-bank unorthodox style, is | following in the. footsteps of his | golfing idol—Bobby Jones, the mas | ter marksman who always concen. | trated on the behavior of his clubs. { Not since Jones sensationally | rose to the heights as a kid in short pants has Atlanta producz2d a golf er with a future as bright as that of Yates. : The kid gets results despite the carelessness noticeable in his stroking. He invariably gets long | drives and putts accurately, But| he plays every shot .quickly, al most nervously. Probably no one| in the game lines up a putt and| strokes the ball more quickly than | Charlie, ; s Like the retired king of the fair ways who put away his competitive warclubs in 1930 after triumphing in the four major tournaments of the world that year, Yates began playing golf at the age of six; knocking balls about the East Lake course and getting in the way of the grownups. Bobby plays for the fun of it now, confining his active competi tiom to a single tournament —the annual Augusta “National” — but Yates, a 22 year old Georgia Tech senior, is just beginning to branch out and will successively enter the National Open at Pittsburgh the Southern Amateur at Richmond and the Intercollegiate at Washington next month, defending his title in the latter event, In 1916 Jones won his first state championship at the age of 14, Exactly 16 years later, young Yates annexed the Georgla crown when 17 years old. He was the young ess to triumph since Jones. Jones played in the national competitions (open and amateur) seven years before winning one of them. Yates already has engagad in one open and one amateur with national fields. He did fairly well and last summer won the national intercollegiate crown, an event Jones never played in. VET REUNION THOMASTON, Ga, — (#) — An nouncement was made Wednesday that the annual reunion of the Con federate Veterans of Georgia will be held in Adel, probably in Octo ber. “ Major General J. P. Hardy of Thomaston, commanding officer of the Georgia division of the veter ans, announced thar an invitation extended by Mayer J. J. Parrish of Adel, to hold the reunion there, had been accepted. Heali_l; ;}l—(l—i&)piness eßy L. H. CUNNINGHAM " Of Interest To Everyone Swimming ranks high as a sport because it gives you all-round ex ercige. Most of the important muscles in the body are used to a eertain degree. Probably the most important physical benefit from swimming is toward the lungs because it calls for deep breathing. Everyone should learn to swim becanse it enables you to enjoy much healthful reécreation. - Those who cannot swim miss a lot of fun in other forms of water sports because they will have a wertain fear back in their head. The mere knowing that you can swim will make your fishing trip your boat trip, your camping, your whole summer, much more enjoy able. g : - ~ Right here Wwe ; want to give a word of warn : Y g ing. We hope we i shall never again hear a person : boasting that he learned to SBswim Cag when an older i brother eor his ! S Dad pushed him in over his head 3 ; and made him i W swim, Much has i & been said and .E | wiitten about | tmis ridiculous i i & practice that w§ h hope by now Cynningham this - will ot be mecsssary. Those who have taught begin ners to swim for any length of time have all seen the devastating effects of this practice. Many youngsters and grown-ups have never learned to swim because some unthinking person shoved them in the deep water and let them gasp and gulp for life itself. A few do but mny never get over the sickening shock, the sinking sensation, the fear they felt that burned itself dep in their minds so they will never forget. Youngsters do not know instinctively how to swim like animals. Any instructor will tell you that the best system of teaching swim ming is the Confidence Method wherein you gradually and slowly overcome the natural fear of water. You gain the persons con fidence in you and in the water. It isn't necessary for you to know the mechanics of the different strokes in order to teach a be ginner—but you must have pa tience. Familiarity with the water is the first step. The best place to teach swimming is in" a pool of clear water with tile or con crote bottom—never in water more than waist deep. In the pool the beginner has more confidence than in a lake or stream. Then too in a pool of clean water the begin ner can hold his eyes open which will add greatly to nis confidence. All good swimmers Kkeép their eyes open at all times, The American ~Crawl stroke is the most popular of all swimming strokes, not onty Dbecause it is used by the champions and is the fastest stroke, but because of its greant value for all-round physical exercise. It is a stroke that de mands very little physical exer tion and pays great dividends in heaith. The American crawl is truly an American product used by the fast swimming Indiany 75 years ago. It is a mistake to assume that the Crawl is only a racing stroke. Swimmers use it on long distance swimming as well as racing. Some have wused the crawl for distances up to 30 miles. : Since the Crawl is considered the best all purpose stroke be ginners should be taught the Crawl first. However, the main thing is to get the beginner to swim. If he can't grasp the Crawl teach him the dog paddle then the ather stroke can be easily learned. The main thing is that everyone should learn to swim-—you might be able to save a life this summer, especially your own. | ~ COTTON REPORT ‘ .~ WASHINGTON — (#) — Cotton consumed durirg April was re ported Wednesday by the census bureau to have totaled 462,844 bales of lint and 70,268 bales of linters; compared with 481,135 and 66,754 for March this year and 512,684 and 67,479 for April last year. ’ Cotton on hand April 30 was re ported held 'as follows: . !
