Swimming enthusiasts will be
grieved to hear that Duke Kahanamo-

his usual showing in the various
events. Duke said last evening that
despite the fact that he was not In
the best shape to swim, he would DO
his best to enter the various events II
he continued to improve.
Would Have Been Feature
It was expected that the 300 meter
race would be the feature event on
Wednesday evening as Duke was ex'
pected TO give LANCER a hard race for
honors, but with the champion in poor
condition LANCER should win, al
though Kruger and Kelii are expected
TO make a hard fight for honors.
Above the 200 yard mark LANCER Is
real star and with Duke out Of 1t, he
ought to come in ahead OF the field.
There has been much discussion OF
late In swimming circles as to wheth-
er Honolulu would produce Dorothy
Burns or Claire tGaIligan within the
next few years, and then more
discussion as to which one OF
the feminine stars would be the fu-
tGre champion of Hawaii This year
there are four times as many feminine
swimmers as ever before. and the dis
cussion promises to bring out a lot OF
interest. 49,. <.'
