Entries from high schools throughout
the East have been received for the
interscholas water carnival to be
held By the Yale Swimming Association
on Saturday, at New Haven. and there
is promise Of close competition and
some record breaking.
Two OF the foremost teams in the
country. those Of Andover Academy and
the Brookline High School. of Boston,
will be on hand in full force and sew

Giebel, OF Stuyyesant. and Teddy Cam,
OF Hamilton Institute, both record

these two are pitted against Leo Handy

Of 1915, at 100 and 220 yards. respec-
lively, old marks are likely to fly.

220-yard time trial last week in 2 min
utes 81 So seconds or As seconds
under the worlds record set by Charles
NJ. Daniels in 1909. This remarkable
performance. made IN the Mercury
Foot tank, deserves comment, for it Is
really better than the figures indicate.
No man, In fact, has ever been able
to equal In the same pool the times no
made elsewhere. The greatest speed
attained by Daniels. himself, was
minutes 2s l-5 seconds for 200 metres
(2lS6 yards. and in comparing marks
Il becomes evident that Vollmer Is
faster than the latter BY about seven
seconds, at the furlong There Is
hardly doubt, now, that Vollmer will
officially hang up a new international
standard for the distance at the first
opportunity.
And this opportunity will be fur
nished him on February 10 at the New
York Athletic Club. An open meet Is
then TO be held. and among the events
Is listed the 22O-yard metropolitan
swimming championship. Also on the
programme are fancy diving contest
for the district title, l00-yard handi-
