Miss Dorfner May Taste De
feat at Hands Of Young
Rival, Miss Artfelt

The outstanding feature of the com
ing week in water sports is an aquatic
carnival to be beld on Tuesday in the
pool of the Central Y. M. C. A., Phila-
delphia. On the programme is the
fifty-yard Middle Atlantic swimming
championship for women, and Quaker
City authorities not only predict with
absolute confidence that record figures
will be shattered in the event, but
think it not improbable that Miss Olga
Dorfner, of the Turngemeinde, Ameri-
can title and record holder at the dis
tance, may taste defeat at the hands of
her sixtcen-year- r-old teammate, Miss
Gertrude Artelt, the national 100-yard
outdoor champion.
Of especial local interest will be

meet, for eleven-year-o Helen Vain

Women's Swimming Association. will
take the board against the foremost
fair divers of Philadelphia and try con-
cluslons with them on even terms. She
has been displaying splendid form
lately and should put up great fight
for laurels.
The home card lists two dual engage
ments for Friday-Yale VS. New York
Athletic Club and Pennsylvania VS.. C.
{. N. Y: AS there is little doubt that
the Quaker watermen will score an easy
victory, public attention will centre
upon the former clash, which promises
to be one of the best of the season.
The regulation Intercollegiate pro-
eramme will be followed, including
water polo, and it is likely that the
clubmen will outpoint their varsity
rivals in swimming, particularly since
