Local Girl Is
Star OF Temple
u. Swimmers
Miss julie Bernice Custer
Starts Second Year As
Varsity Mermaid
MENTIONED NOW AS
OLYMPIC POSSIBILITY
Temple Relay Team, With
Miss Custer at Anchor, Is
Holder of Worlds Cham
piOnship

A Pleasantville girl, julie Bernice
Custer, is fast making a name for
herself as a member of the champ
ionship woman's swimming team at
Temple u, Philadelphia. She is
the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. c. E.
Custer, % Reading avenue.
Miss Custer is beginning her sec
ond year as a member OF the var
sity, which she joined when fresh
man last year. Her phenomenal
work both in anchor position ON the
relay team and in the so and 100
yard events have won for her the
acclaim of a number of sports crit.
les. She is considered responsible
for much of the teams success, and
has been mentioned recently as an
Olympic possibility.
The Temple women's relay team
in March broke the intercollegiate
women's record for the 200 yard
relay, turning in time of min
utes, 80 and one-fifth seconds. The
mark was made in the meet held
in the Penn Athletic Club, Phila-
delphia, and in the same meet Miss
Custer turned in a number of points
in individual competition that help
ed Temple win.
Began at Five.
The local girl began swimming
at five years of age. At that time
her parents lived in Philadelphia,
her birthplace, and in meet spon-
sored by the public recreation body
of the city she won in her first
competition, swimming 20 minutes
without stopping. Subsequently
she won many more of the badges
offered by the park officials to the
winners of various events.
Later the Clusters moved here,
and julie became affiliated with the
Hygeia Swimming Club in Atlantic
City. She was IA at that time, and
during the time she swan with the
club showed further promise of
what she could do.
Following the months she was a
member of the Hygeia, she gave up
swimming for five years, and re-
turned to active competition only
after entering Temple. She is TAX
ing a course in physical education,
and plans to go into athletic in
struction work upon graduation.
The Temple co-eds are preparing
now for the 1929 season, and al
though only few meets have been
scheduled for the team this year,
it is expected that the Philadelphia
mermaids will repeat all of their
last years performances.
