Swimming Records Broken.
Taking a tip from their track and
field friends, swimmers Of the world
opened the aquatic events Of the tenth
Olympiad today by breaking three
Olympic records and eclipsing one world
mark three times.
The crowning achievement OF the
auspicious opening before 5000 persons
was that of Mrs. Eleanor Garatti Say
vile, who followed up a succession of
two record breaking trial heats in the
women's 100-meter free style event by
traversing the 50-meter pool twice in
minute 85 seconds. 1.3 seconds faster
than Miss Albina Ospiowich's accepted
world mark. set by the American SWIM
mer in 1929.
The San Francisco mermaid. mem
Der of the 1928 team, also broke Miss
Ospiowich's Olympic record of iii, set
four years ago at Amsterdam.
Her performance followed Japan's bid
as a serious contender for the water
carnival honors as 17-year- Yasuji
MiyaZaki sped past Johnny WieSmuller'S
Olympic record of 58.6 seconds for the
100 meters free style, winning his semi
final heat In So seconds fiat.
During the morning, Clare Dennis OF
Australia started off the proceedings in
proper fashion by leading the qualifiers
in the 200-meter breast stroke for wom-
en- with an Olympic record-breaking
. pace of 3:08.2.
Then, just to top of large first day,
the Hungarian water polo team, play
ing brilliant offensive game. swamped
the defending champions, Germany, 6
to 2, in a fast contest.
While the championship is a round
robin affair and does not necessarily
mean elimination of the titleholders,
the defeat of the Germans stamped
their opponents as the class of the six
teams entered.
U. S. Wins From Brazil.
The United States seven won a slow
of the two games, but the teamwork
which Hungary presented far excelled
that of the Yankee combination.
The women's preliminary trials in
the 10O-meter free style clearly were
the class of the races. First, Margaret
Cooper, sprint swimmer from Great
Britain, started out in the second heat
| by cutting two seconds off the Olym-
pic record. Her time of l :09 was eight
| tenths of a second faster than Miss
Osipowich's world mark.
Spurred on by this performance,
Helene Madison of Seattle, applicant
| for more records than she can count on
| her fingers and thumbs, went Miss
Cooper one better and traversed the
course in 1:089, only to have Mrs. Say
vile follow with her great race.
The first heat of the women's hun
| dred had been won by Cornelia Ladde,
Holland, in 1:121, and it appeared that
a drab afternoon was in prospect for
the cash customers. Then the lightning
struck Miss Cooper was closely pressed
! by josephine McKim a United States
| entry, in setting her mark.
| Miss Madison had no opposition. She
was almost three seconds ahead of Jen-
ME Maakal, South Africa, entry, and
climbed out of the pool without showing
signs OF having extended herself
| On the other hand, Mrs. Sayville had
| Willemijnte Denouden of Holland push
ing her all the way. She trailed slight
| ly at the turn, but with Miss Denouden
out in 'front.' the San Francisco SWIM
mer quickened her stroke, churning her
/ lane into froth as she dashed to the
| finish.
