the greatest physical condition
ers Of all time.
THAT isn't quite the way it u.s., :"
Yale's director of athletics said.
"Furuhashi is another Nurmi -
another Ruth-another Cobb-far
above the mass. You can't make
rules for a genius"
Here are some of the peril
nent facts" Kiphuth continued.
"Furuhashi is now 81 years Of
age, is junior this year and
has another year to 60 at Nip
pom university in Tokyo. He
started to swim when he was
eight years old, was an out
standing schOOl-boy competitor
and many of his records are
still on the books. During the
war he was in war industry
and as soon as 1t was over and
pools were available, he started
his practice again.
with maturity, he has gained
terrifically in power and skill with
a great determination to be the
worlds outstanding swimmer. How
he has succeeded is clearly shown
in the results of his swimming the
past two or three years.
Gin the summer Of 194S on
the same day of the finals In
the $500 meters event at the
Olympic games in London,
HirOn0shin Furuhashi in the
Japanese consolation NEE
turned in 1880 against the
Olympic time Of 1880. This
particular race was a ding
dong battle between FuruhashI
and Shire Hashizume. The pic
lures show there was never
more than stroke separating
these two boys, and Furuhashi
finally won by 7/10 Of q Sec
ond."

Arns Borg's Great Swim

one OF the great swims Of all
times was Arne Borg's 1900 meter
in the European championships in
Bologne in 1927. Borg in that race
swan about one minute faster than
he had ever done before, and he
never came within minute of that
time afterwards. 1t was truly one
OF the most astounding athletic per-
formances of all time in swimming.
when the Japanese came to
great, swimming power In the
late twenties and early thir-
ties, they went after that 1907
plus record, trying to break the
mark. ! have seen them over
and over again on my visits out
there try to do the job, but
they always missed by
about two, seconds because
Borg with . very erratic pace,
cut his lap time down after 800
meters and started to 20 even
faster. In the natural process
Of deceleratiOn, any advantage
the Japanese had piled up at
that point was slowly lost and
by the end Of the race the Jap
anese had lost out, too.
However, in 1888, Amano finally
cracked the Borg record by doing
1883, so it was really amazing
in 1913 when Furuhashi turned in
1880. He also bettered the world
time for the 400 meter and 800
meter events during the same sum-
mer. tt y, f gt4s
NEVERTHELESS, we were. not pre.
pared for what he did in Los An
geles this past month. His $500
meter was 1890 and he also went
under his marks in the 400 and 800
meters, and was anchor man In the
300 meter relay. swimming his zoo

Games in 1924! t
I'm doing this, Furuhashi
has aroused a great deal Of
comment because Of his un.
orthodox style.
He has developed tremendous
facility in the water and is really
the only person who can swim the

stroke, but in his leg kick he uses

time. However, the beats that he
does use are executed with a snap
which gives him tremendous pro.

These observations from Bob
Kiphuth should help clear up the
many rumors about form.

The speakers at the Zion

measures to permit the city of
Zion to levy a special fire pro-

recreation tax, inasmuch as the
Community Chest Fund failed
to raise sufficient funds for
their activities.
However the Zion Tax Pay

sharp opposition to the measure
at their meeting.
