Trim EvELETH
Coach Nj. Herseth's Revamped
Squad Hit Stride to Trounce
Visitors, Al to "a.

A somewhat revamped swimming
team took the Eveleth team into camp
and gave them Al to "a trouncing in
the local pool last Saturday evening.
much to the enjoyment of a capacity
crowd.
1t was somewhat a disappointment
that Coach Lewis of Eveleth did not
use his ace breast stroker in the 100
yard race in which he is number one
in the state this year.
To strengthen his team somewhat in
other departments he used Ojampaa in
the 40 yard free style, in which he
finished second, and in both the medley
and free style relays.
AS a breast stroke performer, DIAM
paa is in class by himself and will
have no trouble at all coping the state
title in this event.
| In the 220 yard free style race, the Ely
coach used two Junior High boys and
their performance, through winning
first and third place, was very amusing
| to their mentor. Great things are ex-
pected from these boys in future years.

grade swimmer, took first place with
the time of 2:44, a remarkable time for
an eighth grade boy. Sheldon Brown,
ninth grade student, finished third
and his time of 3:05 is also considered
very good. Brown has excellent form
for long distance swimming but IS
lacking the necessary strength to carry
him through to fast time.
The 100 yard free style, which re-
suited in a nip and tuck race from start
to finish, between Edward Kun and
Gene McCarty was spectacular. 1t is
! believed that if McCarty had not
coasted quite so far into the last turn
he would have gotten a better puShoff
and undoubtedly would have won the
race which was so close that it was a
discussion as to who was first Their
time Of 597 was remarkably fast after
two weeks layoff during Christmas
vacation.
In the dives Grahek had things
pretty much his own way and won out
with many points to spare over his
nearest opponent, Larson of EVeleth.
Because of the graduation of Grahek
and zaic this year, Coach Herseth is
| tutoring a newcomer, Albin Markun, a
ninth grade swimmer, who, while he
has lot to learn, nevertheless is show
| ing much promise and may develop into
star diver in another year or two.
Markun is also an excellent all around
swimmer being able to swim back
stroke, breast stroke and crawl, equally
well, which is very unusual.
Some Of the regulars did not see much
service in this meet but it is expected
that Coach HerSeth will have to use
full team strength against Chisholm in
meet against them next Saturday
at Chisholm.
William Carlson did not see action in
the free style relay although he is a
regular on the squad and he negotiated
his leg of the swim in the fastest time
among the four co-swimmers. His time
was 20 seconds even for the 40 yards.
