MANUAL SWIMMERS
SPRING A SURPRISE
Defeat Strong Erasmus Team
i'm Championship Dual
p. s. A. L. Meet.

Youthful watermen OF Manual Train
ing High School provided a pronounced
surprise by defeating the strong team
of Erasmus Hall in yesterdays series
Of p. s. A. L. championship swimming
meets for teams composed Of pupils of
first term high schools in the G.. c. y. 7.
pool. It was the first setback suffered
by the Erasmus boys since the tourna-
nent began. Until yesterday their
record showed two victories and no
defeats. Incidentally, the victory of the
Manual squad was the first gained in
the series of meets decided to date.
The Manual swimmers showed lot
better form than in any previous dpal
meet. They also displayed better fight
ing qualities and disputed every move
Of their opponents in the several con-
tests in courageous manner. This
fighting spirit earned them several
points which they otherwise would not
have obtained. IL yesterdays exhibi-
tion is a true line on the capabilities
of both teams Stuyvesant and De Witt
Clinton, which are tied for first place,
should fight it out between them for
the championship. Up to date each
team has a perfect three victories and
no defeats.
Manual Training in Front.
The closest and most spectacular
finish of the several meets was wit
messed in the relay clash between the
representatives of Manual Training and
Erasmus Hail. Arnold, anchor man OF
Erasmus. held lead Of two yards over
cluckman of Manual Training at the
beginning of the last leg OF the race
He was going easy and had every
appearance of a winner. But ne did not
win because Gluckman's powerful
strokes enabled him to cut down the
lead OF the Erasmus crack and get the
verdict Of the judges by small margin.
Arnold was by no means disgraced. He
had the satisfaction of knowing that he
had forced Gluclman to clip four and
four-fifth seconds off the meet record
for the event in order to beat him.
Abry Gould, Manual Training speedy
sprinter, won his third straight victory
when ne led home Necklan of Erasmus
in the 220 yard race by comfortable
margin. The summaries:
