Aug. 28.-Coach Charles L. BUD
Sawin found out today that his ace
didn't count, but he came up with
three lovely queens to give the
Riviera Club of Indianapolis a COM
manding advantage for the first
three days in the chase for the 1943
women's national swimming cham
pionship.
The ace was Betty Bemis, the de-
Tending champion in the 400 and
300 freestyle events. Miss Bemis
failed to qualify for the 400-meter
race and Sawin said tonight she
would not even compete in the 300
meter event tomorrow. Miss Bemis
showed up as surprise contestant
after having spent her time fighting
the women's part of the war as a
member of the WAVES.
Riviera Takes 800 Relay.
The three girls who came through,
however, for Sawin were Joan Fogle,
Mary Ann Waits and Patty Aspinall.
Their performances gave Riviera 81
points at the end of the day. In
second place was Multnomah Club
of Portland, Ore, with 81, and third
was the Womens Swimming Asso-
citation of New York with Is.
