by just few feet and the 25-yard
swim by inches. The competition
was keen and the Philadelphia
norman. veterans in water competi-
ton, were forced to extend them
selves to the limit 20 win
John Pierson, a native OF VIII
mington. played a large part in the
victory Of the Philadelphia boys, be-
cause il has been due to his untring
efforts, as swimming coach. that the
association turned out such a re-
markable team.
Parker was the chief offender IN
the locals downfall and was the in
dfvidual star OF the meet, getting
first place in the diving for form and
the so yards swim, running up a
total Of 10 points. He is a diver Of
no mean ability and executed his
dives, a ~ and y with u turn
