For the past fve years four schools
hnve been represented by a tank team.
These have been West Philadelphia
High. Central High. Germantown High

1t Is the intention Of Trankford High
TO have a team this year and this leaves
but one public high school in the city,
Southern. without q swimming team.
The Frankford swimmers have sig.
nifed their intention Of competing In
dual meets with the other schools. and
but have already started practice.
For the last month candidates for the
Pioneer swimming team have been
working out daily In the task at the
Second Regiment Armory, Broad and
Callowhill streets. Mr.. Garwood, a
member of the faculty Of the Frankford
school and noted swimmer, will coach
the team.
Practices have been held twice a week
and about fifteen swimmers are working
out.
It is the first time in the history Of
encouraged. Much credit must be given
to Coach Garwood. who has been en-
deavorins for the last two wears to start
a swimming team.
West PhiladeIphis's Record
West Philadelphia High School has
won the swimming cham mpionship for the
last thirteen years. 1t holds all the
records. hut the other schools are
gradually coming TO the front. and with
the entrance Of FrankfOrl in the field
competition is bound to be stronger.
| The SppedbOys have n veteran team
back. The championship Is awarded
each season to the school having won
the greatest number Of dual meets. the
interschOlastics being the grand finale
to the swimming season.
