HIGH LOSES
GIRARD Swim
Bernard's Proteges Score
Spectacular Tank Victory,
30Lz to 22Iz Points
BARDO WHOLE
SHOW FOR LOCALS
By POLLY HY.


Notwith standing the fact tha
hve of last years varsity swimmer,
and two OF the most promising mer
that reported for the team this yea
were unable 20 make the trip q
Philadelphia for the dual meet with
Girard college the local swimmer,
forced the college lads to extend
themselves TO the limit 10 take the
long end OF a 30 1-2 to 22 i-2 score
In fact the relay was the margin OF
/ victory as the combined scores OF
the other events left the score dead
| locked.
The work OF Edward Bardo was
the outstanding feature OF the meet.
( He accounted for fifteen OF the
( locals points by winning the $1,000.
and 200 yard swims. in exceptional
ly fast times. His time OF asa sec
onds for the so yards Il ! 5 OF a sec
ond better than he has ever done IN
competition. Wilson Boyer Ray
mond Dudzinski. the one legged
boy: Thomas Bush and william
Reybold accounted for the re-
mainder Of the locals points.
The absence Of Captain Douglas
Sheldon was keeniy felt in the
sprint swims az web as the services
F. Booths and Bernard Nobis in the
longer swims and Samuel Keen IN
the plunge for distance and Wallace
Pedrick in the fancy diving. The
presence Of at least two OF these
men would have accounted for the
difference in the score and given
Cherry and White natators a victory.
Bruce Dlffenderfer and W. Mater
were the other members of the
squad that were missing.
Wilson Boyer. crack diver. OF the
Hlgh School team received bad
scare while practiclng dives when
the sprilgboard cracked. Appar-
entity Boyer was somewhat worried
for fear the board would break as
he did not perform in his usual good
style and was fortunate TO get
second place. McKeown. Girsrd
diver did some brilliant work in this
event which was the outstanding
feature Of Coach Bernard's proteges.
The real surprise Of the evening
to the followers of the local team
was the showing made by Reybold
In the 220 yard swim. Reybold bet
tered his time for this event by ten
seconds and made the distance in
3.O2.0. He was barely beat out by
Levy OF Girard for second place
and finished IN a tie for third place !
with Emery.
David Blair and Franklin Palmer /
showed a considerable Improvement /
in the fancy diving over their work /
Of a week ago in the Germa ntown 1
meet. The relay team was composed |
of David McAvoy Louis Woodward.
Thomas Bush. and Wilson Boyer.
Coach Sparks was more than
pleased with the showing made by
lis embryo nststors and feels con-
ident that his proteges will more
han make up for the two defeats
hey have received during the past
week when his veterans get back
nto the harness.
