As Swim mer
Former College Star De-
feats Ciebel, Jeliffe and
Buck at New York A. C..
By A. G. Cavaenaro

HaI Vollmer, winner of many college
and amateur championships in the
colors of the New York Athletic Club
and Columbia University, is the invin-
chile swimmer of old. He decisively
proved this in easily capturing the
loO-yard special scratch swim in the
aquatic carnival held by the New York
Athletic Club last night.
1t was Volmer's first appearance in
open competition for almost one year,
as he is at the Pelham Bay Naval
Training Station His great display
of speed carried him home in the
smashing time of sc Is seconds.
There never was question as to
the ultimate victor, for Vollmer held
posed by three sterling rivals in Leo
Giebel and Leemng Jelliffe. eliminates,
and Norman Buck, of the Illinois Ath-
letic Club. Vollmer "Aew" along with
his inimitable crawl stroke, gradually
increasing his advantage, to win by al
most four yards. Buck, who showed
great speed for seventy five yards,
weakened thereafter, to fall back to
last place, while Giebel and JellifFc
fought it out for second place, the
first named winning by inches.
unexpectedly good performances
were witnessed y all the competitions.
Arthur McAleenan, former national
and Intercollegiate champion, was at
his best in the fancy dive, which he
won by comfortable margin. Cyril
Carroll also overcame the handicap in
the plunge for distance, while j. B..
Kane, New York Athletic Club, capt
ured the ffty-yard novice event by
inches.
