SWIMMERS WILL
DECIDE TITLES
INDOOR CHAMPIONSHIPS TO
CONTINUE. TONIGHT
BEST AMATEURS OF SOUTH ARE
ON ENTRY LIST
Second Program Under Auspices of
Southern California Swimming
Association VIII Be
Held Tonight

The second series of the champion
ship events of the Southern California
Indoor Swimming association will be
held at Bimini tomorrow night. The
list of entries for the various events
has been completed and in each event
Is entered championship material,
which should result in sport exciting
enough to please the most ardent fol-
lower of the great aquatic game.
The 22O-yard dash, which will de-
termine the championship of South
ern California at that distance, prom
ises to be one of the most closely con-
tested events, for among the eleven en-
tries are Holborow, present holder OF
the Indoor Southern California cham
pionship, and Walter Abegg, who holds
the outdoor record for the same dis
lance. Both men are out to win Fri
day night and record smashing race
is expected. Lee, Bassett, Artman
and Crary have shown good form and
may surprise the champion. They have
many supporters whose confidence is
such that they will be counted as pos
sible winners until the event is decided
The underwater race, while not as
interesting from the spectators point
of view, should bring out some fine
DISPLAYS of endurance Kenneth KEEL
logg of Occidental college holds the
event, with distance of 1856 feet. AS
Southern California record in this
the average swimmer will not average
more than forty feet under water, the
feat of Kellogg is regarded as one of
remarkable endurance.
In tie 440-yard dash Ben Waiting
ton holds the indoor championship and
Abegg Is the-outdoor champion. Both
Abegg and Taylor who, are entered in
the event, defeated Walter Pomeroy,
the coast champion, at Alamitos Bay
last July. The swimming fans will be
disappointed as Warrington has not en-
tered the event, but with the number
Of fast swimmers entered the event
should prove interesting. George Wat
bins of Ocean Park, formerly of the
olympic club, San Francisco, is en-
tered in the 440-yard dash and as no
is at his best at this distance should
make a strong bid for first honors. Lee.
HolboroW, Altman and Bassett are all
considered championship possibilities.

the diving exhibitions by Prof. Cox,
Andrew Scholz, Charles Colt and Cliff
ford Bowes the Bimint tank should be
