In Stellar Feuts

Indications that local sports fol-
lowers finally are aware they have
some crack aquatic performers in
their midst today were evident as
the result of robust reception ac-
corded the District A. A. U. outdoor
championships last night at Ia
koma pool. More than 1000 watched
the well-contested events.
Serving to buoy interest has been
the return to competition of June
Booth Stan, who already is challeng-
ing the local supremacy of Ann Arm
son with only minimum of train
ing.
June Stan Scores.
Representing the Shoreham SWIM
ming Club. she captured the 100
yard backstroke event, missing rec
ord time by mere four-tenths of a
second. She covered the distance
in l:24.8 and might easily have estab-
lished a new mark had she not re-
peatedly fouled the lane rope.
Obviously tired, she finished third
in the l50-yard medley race, won
by Ann Arnson in the record time
of 2:16.2. The old mark was 2:22
and was held by Miss Arnson.
Miss Arnson, swimming for East
Potomac, snatched individual scor-
ing honors with 18 points, winning
100-yard freestyle, l50-yard medley
and diving events, in addition to
taking second in the 50-yard free
style race.
