X the attack of the candidates
for the American women's
Olympic swimming team on the
first day of a four-day program OF
Olympic tryouts and national cham
pionship events at Rockaway Piayland
Pool today.
In retaining her national title at 44O
wards. and qualifying for the Olympic
team at the slightly shorter 400meter
distance, Martha Norelius Of the Wom-
ems Swimming Association clipped
nearly 2 seconds from her own record,
covering the distance in minutes 80 3-5
seconds. Her former record for the 44O
yards was minutes 81 2-5 seconds.
This time also betters the 400-meter
record of SSH fiat also held by Miss
Norelius
Second to Miss Norelius in a nip
and-tuck struggle, another w. S. A.
girl. Ethel McGary, lost a. chance OF
putting her name on the record books
by her teammates brilliant perform
ance. Miss McGary finished only a
foot behind the winner and equaled the
old record time. Two entries from the
Carnegie Library Club of Homestead,
a.,
zanne Laird trailed the two leaders by
a little more than yard, while Joseph
inc McKim was a good fourth.
Another thrilling finish marked the
100-meter back-stroke Olympic tryout.
in which Eleanor Holm of New York
beat out five other finalists by less than
a yard Another New York girl. Ade-
laide Lambert. took second place. Mar
ion Gilman of Alameda, Calf, was
third and Lisa Lindstrom of New York
fourth.
The six girls we're so close together at
the finish that the judges had some
difficulty deciding the places. Although
she failed to equal her teammates feat
of breaking a world record. Miss Holm
made fast time, She covered the dis
tance-actually ITO yards instead Of
100 meters-in l minute IS seconds.
The world mark of 100 meters, held by
Wilhelmina Denturk of Holland. is 90.
The third event Of the days program,
the Olympic Spring-board diving tryout,
saw the downfall of Mrs. Betty Becker
Pinkston of Detroit, winner at Paris in
1924 and present national champion.
Mrs PinkSton failed to place in the
event. which was won by Helen Meany
of New York, who also was member
of the 1924 Olympic team with 1887
points for the six events.
All of the four who placed in the
event scored between 65 and II points,
Georgia Coleman of Los Angeles took
second place with 69.8l points, Dor
othy Boynton of Pasadena, Calf, scored
6739 points to take third place, while
Bunnie Fergus of Alameda. Calf, took
fourth with $500 points. Each girl per-
formed three required dives plain
