Dual Meets Will Improve
High School Swimming
By A. c. Cavagnaro

What is likely TO bring about big
boom in swimming circles among the
high school boys is the approval by
the high schools games committee Of the
Public Schools Athletic League of a
series Of dual meets for the champion
ships Of Manhattan and Brooklyn bor-
oughs.
In the past the schools have engaged
in dual competition on schedule
adopted by the committee, but no title
was at stake. Besides striving for the
new championship, the tourney will
greatly aid the boys in preparing for
the city individual title races.
Another radical change voted by the
committee was the shifting of the city
championship races 20 January Is at
the College Of the City Of New York
Datatorium. TIE change was made
after considerable argument from the
coaches and principals Of schools. Up
10 last season the meeting always took
place on the first Friday in March.
AS the dual meets always terminated
in the middle OF January, the schoolboy
swimmers were compelled 10 remain
idle almost two months until the title
races came around. This generally took
the edge off the condition Of athletes,
and when the time for the individual
honors arrived the boys were not in
their best condition.
The new series Of races will begin
on November and continue weekly
until the week Of December 10. Three
schools are entered for the Brooklyn
honors and four for the Manhattan
championship. Each team will meet
the other twice. During the week of
December II the winners Of the re
