WARDENBURG GOOD
AS TANK PLUNGER

The results of the time trials
held in the Y. NJ. c. A. pool yes
terday for the members Of the
Junior team that will compete
against Baltimore on Saturday
night were most gratifying as sew
eral members of the team bettered
their best marks and a new find
was made amongst the plungers.
During the plunging practice
Paul wardenburg was induced to
take a plunge. He showed great
possibilities and after a short prac-
tice cut six seconds Off OF the time for
his first plunge and made the dis
tance 40 feet in 1912 seconds. War
denburg promises to be one OF the
best plungers in Wilmington and
with conscientious training will make
the best OF the local plungers work
overtime TO retain their laurels.
Raymond Dudzinski the one-legged
boy who has created such a big SEN
sation in local swimming circles and
startled the Baltimore fans by taking
second place in the plunge bettered
the new record which he made last
week by one second.
Bruce Dinfenderfer. another High
School youngster is displaying great
form in the 4O-yard swim and was
successful in clipping IL sec OF of
his old time for this distance in the
time trial held yesterday. Young
Diffenderfer along with Franklin
Palmer are two promising candidates
