NEW YORK, April 2H.-(P-A
lilliputian mite of a lad just nine
years old, four feet tall and Is
pounds in weight has taken New
York followers of aquatic sport by
storm.
Hardly big enough to bend a
springboard, little Hal Benham of
Indianapolis finished third in the
national junior high board diving
championship and on the following
night made a surprising showing in
the senior event in which he was
by far the tiniest tot ever to par
ticipate.
The brilliant diving OF the in
trepid nine-year-old and his r.
year-old pal, Frank FehSenfeld
proved to be one of the big features
of the title competition and more
than indicated the Judgment OF
their coach, Richard O.. Papenguth

advised by the chairman Of the
Amateur Athletic Union Swimming
Committee not to bring them be-
cause they were too young"

neither one knows the meaning o.

The young coach started out with
a big class of boys, but rs the dives

only Hal and Frank remained
Every day after school in Indian
apolis they dive for two hours OF
more.
The Little One" as Papengutt
calls him. has been diving off the
high board-ten feet above the wa
ter-for less than a year, but ne
has mastered all the intricate aeria,
feats of the experts.
Little Hal is a winning young
ster with q ready grin on his baby
face. but when doing his stuff he
is all dignity. On land he affects
a collegiate sweater and Knockers
His water garb also run to colors.
The most fun he had in New
York. he thinks. was when he was
watching a 250-pound local diver
in the junior championship whc
persisted in smacking the water
with his broad-beamed back.
That tickled Hal and he wrig-
gled with glee.

Babe Ruth drew the fans by the
