(By Arnold Anderson.)

Chisholm Boy Swimmers Show Re-
versal of Form and Defeat Ely.
Although no champion swimmers
graced the Chisholm lineup, never
theless the team was well-balanced
with each man winning his share of
the points.
The Ely swimmers swan good
races but they did not have the fight
and spirit that characterized the
manner in which the Chisholm
swimmers swan their races.
Chisholrn captured first in all
events except the diving while Ely
took the seconds and thirds. Much
interest had been shown by the
swimmers and spectators as to the
outcome of the diving, for at pre-
viouS meet at Chisholm their diver
had "nosed out" Nappa End Pucel
of Ely and won the meet, due to
the poor condition of the Chisholm
diving board. That the defeat of
Nappa and Pucel at Chisholm was
an accident and not coincidence
can be shown by the fact that
Nappa of Ely had defeated Larson
of Eveleth who in turn had trounced

A game of Water Polo between
the Freshmen and Sophomore high
school teams, followed the game
Although the Freshmen won II to
13, the battle was fast and immedi.
lately captured the unitad interest
Iof all. More of these games will be
lplayed at future swimming meets.
VIM. Nicholas, member of the
wimming team, who has recently
left the city with his parents fol
Detroit, Michigan, will be lost to
the local boys high school swimming
team in the future. He was in
the eighth grade at the local schools
and already the best breast-strokel
of the local swimming team. A
future in education and athletics
awaited him at Ely, but the chance
of making good was taken from
him. However, whatever school he
may enter and should this school
have swimming as sport, he will
lsurely make the team.
Gilbert Boys Coming Here 70,
Swimming Meet Saturday, Feb. II.
Ely lost to Gilbert at an early
meet by a 48 to II score, however
the Ely boys were not at their best
during this meet and Gilbert was
lucky to run up such a large score
Sullivan captured the diving event
for Gilbert at this meet, but he was
later defeated by Rajgaicich OF
Chisholm, and consequently at the
Gilbert meet here Saturday Ely
should win the diving event il
nothing else.
