comparing performances, it he remembered that times for
swimming may be misleading unless conditions are considered. It has been demonstrated that women contestants gain about one second from the push off at each turn, and it will be obvious that a still pool Is far more conductive to speed than choppy
or rough outdoor courses.
It needs be pointed out, therefore, that Miss Bleibtrey did in open water 219.3 yards in 2:54 4-5. one turn; 440 yards in 6:20 1-5, three turns, and 110 yards back stroke in 1:33 1-5, one turn. Allowing for the turns and the handicap of rougher water, these performances are easily the better. It may be added that Miss Bleibtrey has
s aga
Schroth’s fastest time of 2:26. Miss Bleibtrey has never had the chance to show of what she is capable at the half and mile under standard conditions, but her work in ■the three-mile Marathon of the Riverton Y. C, which she won by 300 yards, and in the long distance championship. when she defeated our Thelma Darby, the former national 880-yard holder, furnish proof enough that she ean carry her wonderful speed over any distance. Mrs. Schroth may ■claim superiority at 50 and 100 yards free style only, and by less than one
second.

STECHER BEATS BISCUITS.
, The march of the Butler alumni is on. They have organised, their heretofore vague ideals are assuming f!tartl ‘hK proportions as real facts, and things in an athletic way are ias once more beginning to look resy
about the Christian camp.
Yesterday afternoon the alumni got together at the Hotel Lincoln and perfected a temporary organisation. Later a nation-wide campaign will be made for all Butler grads. The purpose of the association is to fcoost Butler. Clay Trusty was elected president; Lee Burns, vice-president; Charles I^ee. secretary, and Harold
Tharpe, treasurer.
Outsiders May AM, Toe. While the prime status of thta ©rganlxation is that Butler grads only are eligible, the body will probably receive any contributions or aid from friends of Butler and those Interested in athletics /or Indianapolis. Butler is pleased with the ffet that only one game of Big Ten caliber is scheduled for Indianapolis next year. A football card of at least six home games will give Butler a real chanct to establish itself in the eyes of In-
dianapolis next fall.
The movement of the alumni is generally- hailed with joy and approval. The- restriction that no member of the committee be connected with the college as trustee, board member or faculty member, receives the approval of Dr. Thomas Carr
Howe, president of Butler.
