day. They hit 1t on the nose,
because when the final event was
finished the Colts and Cardinals
were tied in points at ASA.
The rival coaches, Hugo Mat
son of Cooley and Wally Laury
of Northwestern, agreed to flip a
coin to decide which team would
oppose DENLY, east side winner,
for the league dual championship
Dec. 20.
COLTS WIN TOSS
Northwestern won the toss, but
II is likely the final decision will
be put up to George Mead, super
visor of the Metropolitan League.
DENLY, meanwhile, made the
east side finals Tar splash party
as ii took every event in whip
ping Highland Park. 81 to 81.
Northwestern held a two-point
lead over Cooley when the teams
went into the last event, the 200
yard free style relay. Cooley won,
as expected, with Northwestern
second.
That left il up to the Colts and
Cardinals "B" teams, swimming
simultaneously with the others.
In a thrilling finish, Rudy Heu-
mann, Northwestern anchor. beat
Louise Dame of Cooley by inches
to give the Colts third place and
tie the meet.
CLOSE DECISION
Had Cooley taken the third, the
Cardinals would have won the
meet by four points. AS 1t turned
out, Northwestern received seven
points in this event to Cooley'S
nine.
Northwestern led Cooley in
first places, six to three, but the
Cardinals balance made it up.
DENLY. in addition to winning
all nine firsts, captured four Sec
onds to sink the Parkers. Bob
Michaels was the individual star
with victories in the 100-yard
breast stroke and 150-yard indi-
vidual medley.
