place, the room became before long
more like Finnish steam bath than
anything else, and no doubt some OF
the people present, who ordinarily
have their steam bath on Saturdays,
saved time and money last Saturday.
AS this was the first meet and
the first big crowd, precautions
were not taken as no one just knew
how it was going to be until it was
too late to have the condition bet
tered. However, Fred Neff, the En-
gineer, will see to it that the place
will be just right at the next SWIM
ming meet.
The 100 yards relay race opened
the program. The Juniors, getting
away with a good start, held the
lead throughout the race and finish
ed half a length ahead of the
Sophomores, who came in second,
trailed by the Freshmen, who came
in third.
The diving was onesided as Wal
ter Nappa outclassed his competitors
with ease, although his dives were
not as good as usual. Manni, with
only a few days practice, did very
well and will no doubt be good il
he goes to work. He just finished
his football season in good shape.
Krause, a freshman, has lot to
learn vet but with little hard work
will be all right.
The 40 yard free style was won
by Wiinikainen in fast time. he
bettered his former time by 20 OF
a second and holds the school record
for the distance. When he gets a
little more technique he will be
good. Jokinen and Larson came IN
second and third.
The 100 yards breast stroke was
easy picking for Hokkanen, who did
not force himself at all. AS he was
Going to swim the 220 yards later,
his time, however, was below avera-
ape Graves was second and Thomp-
son third, about one length behind
Hokkanen. In the 100 yards free
stvle, again Wiinikainen took the
lead but was hard pressed by VIII
liam Mattila, his team mate. Mat
tia was nosed out only by one and
one-ffth of second. Pappanen
freshman, came in third.
The plunge for distance did not
come out to expectations as Jenko,
who is a fine piece of material for
a plunger, did not plunge as far as
the girl who won the plunge earher
in the afternoon. Joe would rather
go out hunting Or pile wood Or any
thing. but practice plunging, ard no
doubt this is the reason the girls
can show him how to plunge. Hok-
kanen was second and Mattila,
third. The 100 yards back stroke
was a walkaway for Thompson who
came in first with Somrock trailing
him about one length behind.
Thompson and Somrock are the two
swimmers in the Back
Stroke, Somrock having the best
form of the two but lacking
Saari came in third.
The 220 yards free style was
probably the most exciting of all
the races. Denley and Nappa SWIM
ming side by side until the gun was
fired as signal they had one more
length to GO. Denley having little
strength in reserve, managed to
shake Nappa off and beat him by
one fifth of a second. Nikkinen fin
ished third, one length behind.
