Evening star., 1937-03-28

records were broken, third
tied and fourth left intact
L only by disqualification of the
apparent mark Smasher as the annual
A. A. U. meet came to a finish last
night in the Shoreham pool, with the
Y. NJ C. A. retaining its team cham
pionship.
Bob Jordan the 18-year-old former
Central High School student and pres
ent star of the Massanutten Military
Academy swim team, was the out
standing male performer, swimming
off with the so and 100 yard free style
events in record manner. Jordan
clipped three -f1fthS of a second off the
record in the century with new time
OF 56 seconds fiat, after tying the old
mark OF "a As seconds in winning
the so. The record he cracked had
stood for three years.
Ernie BoggS, who retained his 150-
yard backstroke championship, but
lost his 220-yard free style title to
John Mullady, accounted for the sec
ond record in sensational manner
when he clipped nearly seconds of
his own record for the 150-yard back
stroke. He won the backstroke event
In l:44 3-5.
June Booth Disqualified.
A FOURTH record remained un-
broken only through the disquali-
fication of June Booth in the l50-yard
Individual medley. After she appar-
entity had set new mark OF 2 minutes
l6 seconds-2 seconds better than the
existing record-it was announced she
had been detected using the semi
scissors kick during part of her breast
stroke routine. Her disqualification
resulted in little Anne Bono winning
the event
Miss Bono, incidentally, cried for JOY
when she was awarded the individual
point trophy for women which she won
by a margain Of points from Anne
Arnson. Plenty Of sportSmanShip was
shown by the Misses Bono and Booth
after the medley event when the
former attempted to sympathize with
Miss Booth over her disqualification.
You should have won, June" she said.
Forget it, Ann, I'm glad 1t was you,'
June replied
Lew Clay Of the Y. NJ c. A. re-
tanned his 220-yard breast stroke title
over the bids Of Paul Wilson and
Clay took the lead at the start and
gradually increased his advantage, al
though Baker was coming fast at the
finish.
Mems 220 Free Style Close.
ONE of the closest races Of the
night occurred in the mems 220-
yard free style in which Mullady
snatched the local title OF that event
from Boggs. 1t was AL Hamm Of
Western High and not Boggs, how
ever. who gave Mullady his stiffest
fight, the latter winning only by
hand. Boggs was a poor third at the
end of the first lap, but ended with
a rush which nearly put him even
with his rivals.
John Marshall OF the Y outclassed
the only two other competitors in the
fancy diving, scoring 1l2.48 points,
compared to the 1858 of the runner
up. Paul Harding. Marshall's final
effort, full twist forward, one
and one-half somersault, drew an ova-
ton for its perfection.
Only q second separated the Us
relay team from a new record as 1t
successfully defended its champion
ship in the 20o-yard event. Farrell,
Bishop, Mullady and Schmitt never
lost the lead gained at the start and
finished in the time of ! minute ASS
seconds-one second slower than the
Shoreham's time made in 1885. Y. M.
c. AS No. z team was second all the
vav and Wilson gained third place
when the Western and Y. M. c. AS
BOYS teams were disqualified for
swimming out of lanes.
