RECORD ENTRY LIST
INCLUDES NAMES OF
BEST WATER SPEEDERS

Eighty-two of Hawaii's speedie5t
swimmers are entered for the annual
A. A u. championship swimming
races, to be held here June IL. The
entry list closed last evening with
john F. Soper, chairman of the regis
tration committee, and when the
blanks we're counted lit was found
that almost double the number of con-
testants as appeared last year, were
on the list.
The entry list holds some sur
prises to those who have been follow
ing swimming events. For instance,
Duke Kahanamoku,s the worlds
speediest swimmer, IS entered in the
quarter mile, the first event on the
card, the 50-yaRdy WllftnS comes fourth
the half-mile, No. 5, and the 100-yards,
No. g. This is tremendous under
taking for any athlete, and it is hard
ly probable that Duke will elect to-
swim the half just before defending
his title in the hundred. However,
there is penalty for entering an
event and not starting, which the Of
ficials of the meet can impose at their
discretion
There are three unattached swim
mers in the meet, all soldiers who are
stationed at Fort De Russy. These
men are entirely unknown quantities,
and may spring some surprises on the
locals. They are James Montgomery,
who will swim in the 5O-yard dash,
Grant Egan, entered in the $50, and
Charles w. Storke, in the mile.
1t is possible that a new worlds
record for women swimmers may be
hung up in the 50-yard event, which
Miss Ruth Stacker is slated to win.
She has been making very fast time
over this distance of late. Miss
Stacker will not enter the 25-yard
swim, leaving the field open for Miss
Finella Miles, Miss Helen Rosa and
Miss Edith Kibling.
As seen by the entry list, the Hui
Nalus lead in number of swimmers.
although the Healanis, and Punahou
Athletic Club, are well represented.
The Myrtles also have individual en-
trants, and team in the club relay.
