Three Who Wiped Out
Weeks Meet Records
Swim Again Monday

District swimmers will be pressed
to maintain local prestige in the
mems sector of the 7th annual
A. Earle Weeks Memorial SWIM
ming meet at Takoma Park pool
Monday night for the three
athletes-all of them out-of-
towners-who completely rewrote
the Weeks record book in captur-
ing the four open events last sum-
mer will be on hand to defend
their laurels.
This potent trio. Jess Green
baum and Jimmy Thomas of
Baltimore's Lakewood Club and
Aaron Kurtzman, who halls from
Plainfield. N. j.. have filed entries,
thus installing themselves as
favorites in their respective
specialties.
Perhaps the inspiration of an
Olympic year had something to do
with it when Greenbaum, Thomas
and Kurtzman retired every Weeks
meet record on the books last
summer. Swimming the same
course they will traverse Monday
night, Greenbaum lowered the 100
and 200 freestyle marks, Thomas
reduced the 150-yard backstroke
par, and Kurtzman captured the
200 breaststroke in record time.
A pair of Ambassador athletes,
Barry Wall and Stan Tinkham.
probably have the best chance of
toppling any of the visitors. Wall,
erstwhile st. Johns aquatic ace,
recently set a District AAU record
in the backstroke, and Tinkham,
Q several-times District titlist, may
push Kurtzman in the breast
stroke.
Jack Droescher and Lew Hedges.
former D. c. AAU winners from
the Takoma team, also will de-
fend against the outsiders.
To the four open events, each
for men and women, will be added
q pair of junior races. Boys OF
IA years and under and girls Of
13 and under will vie for special
honors in 5o-yard breaststroke
races.
The 10-event program. open to
the public, will start at pm.
