fatal blow to the Japanese hopes fol-

Konno of the American team KEEP
up steady pace throughout to wiz
the 1.500-meter freestyle in the
world record breaking time of Il
minutes 44.4 seconds. His teammates
Chalked up victories in the 200-meteI
breaststroke and the 300-meter med
ley relay to bring the U. S. teams
total points for the first day aug
a. of the American swimming
meet to 10 against the home teams
eight points.
Recently, the Korean war with
its attendant worries had been &C.
cupying the minds of the Japanese
people and occupation personnel
alike here in Tokyo, and the long
awaited swim meet to decide the
world Championships it were
was a welcome diversion. Tickets
were as difficult to get as snow
balls in summer as people lined up
all night to buy advance tickets
which were sold out within a few
hours after the ticket booths were
opened.
This morning was as cloudy and
sultry as the last ten days had been,
bit thousands lined up outside the
Meiii Pool-built for the 1912 Olym-
pic Games which were never held
in order to get a good seat since
there we're no reserved seats. Hours
before starting time, all the seats
we're filled and scalpers were de-
handing and getting fantastic sums
for black market tickets.
TABATA WELCOMES NATATORS
At 5:55 in the afternoon with rain
threatening, the two teams walked
in with their respective flags John
Marshall marched in at the end of
the American team, carrying the
Australian flag. All the Americans
were barefoot and wearing "zori"
with the exception of Ford Konno
who wore moccasin shoes. Nasal
Tabata, president of the Amateur
Swimming Federation of Japan, gave
a welcome speech. After Allen Stack,
John Marshall and Hironoshin Flu
rub shi had taken the amateur oath
for their respective teams and had
shaken hands, the meefwas officially
opened.

KONN0, HAWAIIAN NISEI, STARTS BALL ROLLING
FOR NATATORS, WITH STUNNING VICTORYN
RECORD-CRACKING 1900 METER FREESTYLE RACE

There was an Over-capacity
crowd of $4,000 crowding the sta
dunn with quite few occupation
personnel present. The aisles were
quite impossible and some boys
even climbed the floodlight towers
but were told to get down. Rain
came once i'm while and the spec
tatOrs were kept busy taking off
and putting on their rainwear.
BROWNER WINS EASILY
In the first competitive event of
he meet-there was a water polo
anne which Waseda won from Keio
by nine goals to four-Robert Brow
ner with his powerful kick led from
he start with the Japanese mermen
behind in the 200 meter breaststroke
From the 100 meters, Hagiwara, who
has his head sideways instead of
straight up, started closing in. He
was stroking more often than Brow
ner. but his legs apparently were
rot giving him the push that Brow
ler'S we're for his body did not go
as far forward. Browner finished
first in the meet record breaking
lime of 2 minutes 376 seconds. Ha-
yiwara, although coming in second,
-ould say he had done well for he
had bettered the Japanese record.
Kajikawa, who at one time looked
as if he were going to come in sec
nd negotiated the distance in the
same time as third-place Stasforth,
out was placed fourth.
FURUHASHI TAKES 200
After an exhibition 50-meter
wOmen's freestyle dash and diving
by American diving champion JO-
seph Marine and Japanese cham
piOns, the second competition took
place. 1t was surprising to find
Furuhashi i'm the lineup for the
200 meter freestyle. At the starters
gun. Cora got out in front and had
Hamaguchi following him closely.
Furuhashi was way behind and
looked as if he wouldn't even place.
Maruyama started putting on po-
wer, and after the 100 Olympic
champion McLane and Furuhashi
really started going. 1t was touch
and go, but Furuhashi showed the
tremendous power that has won
him the name of Flying Fish of
Fuiiyama" in the last-lap squirt
which beat McLane by barely one
stroke. Furuhashi beat the worlds
record for the 200 meter in long
distance by two-tenths of Sec

KONNO OVERLOOKED

Marshall, at least in the beginning
did not disappoint his fans as he
showed his power from the start and
was easily leading at 100 meters
having swum the first lap in l min
ute "a seconds. Many of you proba-
bly, saw Marshall swim in the meet
held in Seattle last month and will
agree that he too, like Furuhashi, has
a style all his own. His left arm
barely clears the water while his
right arm goes almost straight up
out of the water so that he looks sort
of lop-sided while he is swimming
Furuhashi, on the other hand, is a
very choppy swimmer and his legs
don't kick the same number of times.
Your reporter was sitting with
the cameramen and all of them
were concentrating on Marshall
and Hashizume, expecting the two
to fight it out for first place. Prac-
tically nobody was filming the
smooth swimming of Ford KOnnO
who was approximately eight or
nine meters behind the leading two.
At the 400 mark, Marshall had a
time of 4 minutes 43 seconds, which
seemed to indicate that he might
break the world record. From about
the 600 Tanaka and Konno started
coming in fast and at the 700, Ia
naka temporarily took the lead
Azuma was right behind them, and

in the 400-meter freestyle event. Hi
ronoShin FuruhaShi showed his SUI
premacy as the worlds No. SWIM
mer by closing the gap overtaking
the Australian hope and finishing
in the new world record time of 4
minutes 1872 seconds. This was the
only event IN which the Japanese
got any points at all for the Ameri-
cans made a clean sweep of the 100
meter backstroke and 100 breast
stroke events in the second day
aug. 81 of the third international
swimming meet between the United
States of America and Japan in the
Meiii Pool in Tokyo With a total
of 81 points against Japan's IL, the
American team was assured of an
easy victory without waiting for the
final day.
THOMAS COMES IN
With a crowd estimated at close
TO $4,000 attending. feeling ran
high as the days events opened
with the 100-meter backStr0ke.
From the beginning the japanese
swimmers, YamamotO and Tomita,
didn't have chance against their
bigger opponents who used their
height and longer arm sweep to
take an easy lead and maintain il
tn come in one, two and three.
Thomas and Stack finished almost
in dead heat and recorded the
same time of | minute ~ seconds,
new Japan international record.
Although the japanese swimmers
did not place. they had clicked in
at their best times so far.
The 100-meter breastStroke saw
Shimizu OF Japan getting to the so
meter mark ahead of StaSSforth and
Browner. but he was oyertaken at
the turn. He seemed to tire in the
last so meters and ran very close
fourth to O'Connor's third place. All
three who placed-Stassforth Brow
ner and O'Connor in that order
bettered the Japan international re-
cord Stassforth came in at minute
sc seconds. as did Browner. O'Con-
nor was clicked in at l minute 90
seconds. Having adopted the butter
fly stroke but recently, the Japanese
swimmers could be commended for
their excellent showing against more
experienced and bigger opponents.

held up to now. Much Wanted Ha-
maguchi who expended himself in
the first 100 meters came i'm a poor
fifth, trailed by Cora.
Immediately after this close finish
the long awaited 1,5O0-meter event
vas held, but to the disappointment
Of all the fans and not least of John
Marshall and Coach Kiphuth, Furu-
hashi was not entered in the race
This left Hashizume to cope with
he renowned Australian swimmer
Many of the fans were not hesitant
about showing their disappointment.
The japanese team coach had APP
oarently thought that Hashizume
and his teammates could easily carry
the 1900 meters and had placed Flu
'uhashi in the 200 meters, an event
in which he did not have too much
confidence

ATLANTA, Ga, Nov. 8.-(SNS)
No end was seen to the control

chine if the proposed amendment
to extend the county unit system
to the general election is passed,
political leaders agreed at a meet
ing of the Atlanta Negro Voters
League last night at Friendship

agreed that unit system was sun
democratic and unjust" and would
make possible government by a
minority of those voting.
John Wesley Dobbs presided and
made a vigorous attack against
the amendment. Atty. A. T. Wal
den predicted "Talmadge dy-
nasty if the amendment is passed
and urged heavy turn out at
