COACH ULEN TURNS SCHOLAR, WRITES VOLUME ON SWIMMING

"Almost everyone can learn to swim comfortably if not rapidly," says swimming Coach Harold S. Ulen in the introduction of his new book, "The Complete Swimmer," on the aquatic art to be published on May 2. Not to be outdone by Oologist Richard Cresson Harlow who has been named a curator of birds' eggs, Ulen has ventured into the literary field in accord with the University's well-known desire for books to be written.

Written in collaboration with swimmer Guy Larcom, Jr., the volume contains numerous illustrations of natatorial technique a la Ulen. Speed aces Charlie Hutter and Willie Kendall spent many minutes last year posing for pictures to show how real swimmers use their arms and legs. There is also a chapter devoted to women swimmers, profusely illustrated, of course.
