NORTHERN SWIMMING
CRACKS ARE COMING
Les Henry Invites Them to Participate
in Southern California Champion
ships Tournament to Be
Held Soon

Although nothing definite has been
decided as to the date of the swimming
tournament, which is to be held In the
vicinity of Los Angeles in the near
future, 1t will be advisable for local
swimmers to keep in the best of condi-
ton, and those swimmers who are not
now swimming should get down to
business. The proposed contest will be
for the championship of Southern Cali
fornia, and Les Henry is making ar
rangements to have some dark horses
on hand. These probably will be north
ern boys of good records, and 1t be-
hooves the local swimmers to keep all
possible records in these waters.
Henry has been corresponding with
swimmers of the Olympic club Of San
Francisco and representatives Of the
Lowell high school of that city 1t IL
not his idea to bring men down here
for the direct purpose of attaching any
honors that may be at large, but
simply to establish prestige for local
swimmers. He believes that the best
swimmers of the Pacific coast are IN
Los Angeles, and it now remains for the
local boys to prove that he Is correct in
this belief.
A review of the various time records
made by the probable northern entries
may be of advantage to those who in
tend to enter the tournament. w. L.
Lame of the Lowell high school, San
Francisco, recently won the champion
ship of the Pacific coast for the 100
yard aquatic event at the tournament
| held in the swimming tank OF the
| Olympic club. His time for the dis
lance was III is. Close upon his
heels was George Bromley of the Olym-
pic club, followed by e. ]. McWood:
The first two named are considered
about equal, and another match be-
tween them may change their present
relative positions. In the 220-yard dash
Iaine again showed up we'll by making
the distance in 1853 1-5, which time, al
though not remarkably fast, Is good.
w. Pomeroy won the 440-yard dash
in 500. He is considered one OF the
fastest men In the Olympic club in long
distance swimming. 1T the same tour
nament he captured the SSo-yord race
in the remarkable time of 1925. While
these men may not enter the tourna-
ment for the championship of Southern
California it is likely that the local
boys will have to beat their records IN
the different events If they expect to
make a showing in the state champion
ship meet which will follow the pro-
posed local tournament.
