she thrashed the classic 1o0 yards in
minute Is As seconds, or one-fifth of
second under her own world record
for regulation bath. set at tho ma
tional indoor championship in Milwau-
kee last March.
Miss Bauer would have made better
time. too. had she not miscalculated
her distance on reaching the end of
the second lap and swung around too
soon, so that she missed the wall and
lost no less than one second at the
turn.
Miss Riggin. who was runner UP. was
clocked in l minute 20 l-5 seconds. Miss
Donohue was a good third.
