Sanctions Two Contests for
Titles-Chicago A. A. to
Foster College and
School Water Sports.
By l.. de b. HANDLEY.

The Amateur Athletic Union decided
last Monday to sanction title events
for women swimmers, but instead Of
adopting the regulation programme
prescribed for men, the matter OF for
mulating a new list was left in the
hands of the championship committee.
whose intention il is to allow no more
than a couple of national contests.
The chief reasons adduced for the
pruning process are two: First, that
promoters might take advantage of the
events for advertising purposes; sec
ond. that the venture is entirely new
and must first have trial.
The former claim appears unwar-
ranted Practically everywhere, except
in New York. leading athletic clubs not
only permit women members to use the
pool. but hold meets for them and en-
courage competitions. These clubs
would be the principal bidders for title
races. and il would be an easy matter
for the authorities to refuse sanctions
if promoting organizations applied.
On the second count, IL may be
pointed out that water sports for
women are new only in so far as the
Amateur Athletic Union Is concerned.
The fair natators have been active in
many sections OF the United States for
a number OF years, and their ranks have
grown steadily. The experimental
stage was passed long ago. American
girls are to-day threatening all worlds
records.
If the committee in charge went to
the trouble. before taking final steps,
to inquire OF clubs in the various dis
tricts whether they were willing TO
superintend one or more OF the cham
pionships, it would throw light on the
situation. Judging from reports. there
are recognized and reliable organiza-
tons in at least New York, Boston,
Philadelphia. Pittsburgh, Cincinnati.
Chicago. Los Angeles and San Fran
cisco. only too anxious TO stage the
contests.

SWIMMERS BUSY
AT COLUMBIA
Kennedy, Coach, Expects
TO Turn Out Best Team
i'm Several Years.

Columbia has a championship swim
ming team in prospect, and will enter
its first league meet against the City
College on December 3. with high
hopes of bringing 20 Mornlngside
Heights the first swimming champion
ship it has had in a dozen years.
Herbert Vollmer is the star of the
team, and it is the intention OF I'd
Kennedy, the coach, to use him, as
he did last year, in the 100 and 22O
ward races and the relay. With Her
bert, the interscholastic fifty-yard
champion. 10 take care OF the nifty
ward swim, Vollmer will not be obliged
to enter four events, as he did in sew
eral Of the meets last year.
Vollmer, however, is not the only
man of marked ability in the squad.
as Captain Charles Lee and Herbert
both press him closely in the shorter
distances. Lee is doing the hundred
under minute and he is good for
PC 2-5 seconds for fifty yards. Noll-
mer does the fifty consistently in 20
econds. while Herbert at his best will
cover the distance in % % seconds,
according TO Kennedy. These three
will form the backbone of the relay
team.
Walker. Peters, Kunhardt and Kemp
ner are trying for the fourth place in
the relay team. Walker went fifty
,-arJe in 81 Ia seconds last wear. but
so far this season has been unable to
get under 2S seconds. The other
three. however, have all done q 40
seconds within the last week.
Herbert will, of course, take care OF
the short sprint, and either Walker or
Peters will probably be the second
string man. Vollmer and Lee will swim
in both the 100 and 220 yard races.
In the dive Kennedy will rely on
Burghard and Mills, both veterans OF
last years team; Moeller, a iirst-year
Law man. and Detels, a freshman. In
Moeller Kennedy believes he has a star
in the making. He has been practising
only week or two, but his develop
ment has been so rapid that already he
is crowding Burghard and Mills.
For the plunge Columbia will have
available Bridges and Kennedy, of last
years team, both of whom are good
for 90 feet, and Roy, novice, who did
more than 81 feet in practice the other
day.
Water polo prospects are just as en-
couraging. Last years entire team is
intact, with Cooper, Gibson and Rogers,
forwards; Captain Mouquin and Noble,
backs, and Levinson, goal.
