Young Girls Feature Early
Weeks of Swimming Season

The most remarka Bile feature of the
swimming season recently launched has
been the brilliant work done by very
young girls. They have starred at
nearly all the meets held and per
formed some truly sensational feats.
tered few days ago by Miss Eleanor
Smith, the fourteen-y -year-old prodigy
of Columbus, Ohio. She brought down
the national 15O-yard back stroke
standard from 2:26 2-5 to 2:18, and the
200-yard breast stroke mark from 3:27
to 3:16 As. These are almost unbe-
lievable achievements for little maid
of Eleanor's age, and it needs to be
mentioned that her twin sister, Ruth
finished very close second in both
races, so that she, too, beat the old
figures by big margins.
Miss Ethelda Blebtrey, sixteen, OF
the New York Womcns Swimming AS
sociation, is another girl who has taken
the limelight. At a local carnival last
week she did 40 yards with the back
strike in O:31. The fastest time pre-
viously made for the distance is cred
tied to Miss Olga Dorfer, Of Philadel-
phia, at 0:31 40
One of the great surprises of the
year has just been furnished by Miss
Marie Curtis, of Northern High School
Detroit. Competing in the first race she
ever swan, she won the womens 100
yard free style championship OF
greater Detroit and simply romped
away from the favorite.
1t may be added that Miss Farrell
Creighton, sixteen, took chief laurels
at the opening meet at the Los Angeles
Athletic Club; Miss Frances Taylor
fifteen, has beaten all rivals in Pitts
burgh, and Miss Mary Porter, eleven
won a short while ago the fancy diving
title for women in Cleveland. The
older girls will have to look to their
laurels.
The athletic authorities at Prince
ton have decided in favor of varsity
