GIRL
DIVING CHAMP
Mary Herger, II, Miami
Scores Amazing Upset
in National Meet

NEW YORK, July 10. (UP).-
Tiny Mary Hoerger, 11-year-oid
kid from Miami, who weighs only
73 pounds and doesn't look any
where near that big, scored an
amazing upset yesterday when she
won the three-meter springboard
dive event of the National A.A.U.
swim championships.
Little Mary, who won't reach
her 18th birthday until Aug. p,
is the youngest girl ever to have
won a national senior title. En-
route to her smashing triumph she
did half a dozen impossible things.
Most amazing of all was the fact
that within the space of two years
she didn't begin diving until she
was nine-she reached champion
ship form. Usually it takes even
an older girl at least five years.
Mary's win completely upset all
vestiges of form. Before the girls
began their plunges the crowd of
5000 and the experts damned
into the tiny press box had given
the title to Olympic Champion
Dorothy Poynton Hill.
But the 40-minute event was
scarcely half over before the
crowd began to sense the impend-
ing upset. With almost deadly
regularity the five judges raised
the cards reading 81" and more
often "S" when the slim little
grade school kid slipped almost
silently into the blue-green salt
water of Oriental pool.
And so, when the points were
added officially and announced,
the great shout was one of delight
for a tot who had made good ra-
Their than one of surprise.
To complete the surprise, pref
ty Mrs. Hill was able to register
no better than third place. Little
Mary amassed a total of 125.o9
points. Janice Lifson of New YORK
was second with 1870, while
Mrs. Hills total was 1858, near
ly three full points behind the
winner.
