the crown he lost last year to Jim
Smith, former Ambassador ace. and
Bill Keim. consistent freestyler.

bolstered by Freestylers Lew Hedges

named the outstanding competitor
in the D. c. junior championships
where he scored in the 100 freestyle
and backstroke events, as well as
pacing the winning relay team.
Aiding Miss Roland in the wom-
ems division are Dot Ballos and
Mary Neate, two juniors who are
showing constant improvement un-
der the tutelage of coaches Jack
Hengstler and Ma" Roland. Miss
Ballos is a former District junior
titleholder in the freestyle and back
stroke.
The District championships will
be inaugurated tonight at Congress
sional Country Club where both
