Glad Enough To
Swim, Girls

To Enter A. A. U. Races Early
Next Month

zoe course we will swim in the A. A.
L, meet. There is no reason why the
girls in Honolulu shouldn t be able to
make swimming records as we'll as the
men, is the statement made by one of
the Outrigger Club mermaids yesterday
when asked why the local girls
wouldn't kOkua In the coming meet.
Regardless of why the young ladies
have refused to swim in the past or
what objections they may still have to
entering future meets, this statement
made yesterday by one of the girls who
will sign an entry blank and who
knows seven or eight others who will
do the same gives the lie to all re-
ports to the contrary. Miss Bernicia
Lane will have competition galore when
she takes to the water in the September
A. A. L. meet
1t seems that the girls have decided
that If lack of entries will cause the
abandoning of the events, there will
be no lack of entries. Some, at least,
of the girls swimmers are as anxious
to have Hawaii represented in future
national swimmers championships for
women as are the A. A. L. officials.
Among the mermaids who have made
good showing in the water and who
will enter the A. A. u. meet are: Misses
Ruth Seybolt, Madeline Chaplin, Flor
ence Pahoa, Elizabeth Fuller, Irene All
rens, Beatrice DOwsett, Thelma Wicke,
Deborah Kekoa, Rose Suarez, and the
three Misses Pakiko. Add to this list
the names of Miss Bernicia Lane, Hon
olulu s travelling swimmer, Miss Helen
Rosa and Miss Lucille Legros, and you
have a field from which contestants for
any number of races can be picked.
