Evening Republican, Volume 15, Number 62, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 14 March 1911 — Eliminate Swimming Record. [ARTICLE]

Eliminate Swimming Record.

At a recent meeting of the Amateur Swimming Association of England a long string of records made this year by Frank E. Beaurepaire, the Aua-

traiiian, were passed upon, and one notable one was rejected. That was the 1,000 yards, the time being 13 minutes and 18 seconds. There was not much question that the Australian did the time correctly enough, and there was no doubt as to the ability of the timers and the honesty of the other officials, but still the rules with regard to record breaking were not observed, consequently Beaurepaire’s great effort was consigned to the junk pile.
