Olympic Swimmers Show Record Speed—Final Day of Title Golf Play

WEISSMULLER IS VICTOR OVER HAWAIIAN DUKE World’s Aquatic Marvels Meet in 100-Meter Race — Broad Ripple Pool Scene of Thriller Competition, If there was any doubt in some minds that Johnny Weissmuller was kinpr of the sjprinters in the water it was dispelled Thursday at Broad Ripple pool where the final Olympic swimming trials are being held. Weissmuller is clearly in a class by himself —one of those athletic marvels who stand out alone in his almost superhuman ability to flpsh through the water faster ■han any one ever was known to travel before.

It was the first meeting between Duke Kahanamoku of Hawaii, now representing the Los Angeles Athletic Club, and Weissmuller. The Duke was the sprint champion before Johnny appeared upon the scene. World's Greatest Although the Chicago paddler has broken all existing records from 100 yards to 500 meters in his sensational swimming there were a few skeptics who thought maybe the Duke could win if the two were brought together. The doubting ones are silenced. Perhaps the two fastest swimmers in the world met Thursday at Broad Ripple and it was Weissmuller all the way. Weissmuller made the 100 meters in 59 2-5 seconds, which is 4-5 seconds slower than his own world's record made on a 100-meter course, but a full second faster than the Duke's Olympic record made in Antwerp at the 1920 games. Gets Poor Start The aquatic marvel made the fast time in spite of a rather poor start and the hindrance caused by swimming into the lane marker just before the finish. On a false start every swimmer except Duke Kahanamoku dived into the water. The Duke, with iron nerves, stood still. When the pistol Saturday’s Swim Card AT BROAD RIPPLE POOL. 2:30 P. M.

He won without apparent effort. Duke Kahanamoku j was second and Sam Kahanamoku third. Jack Roberson, a fine speed swimmer from the Olympic Club, San Francisco, was a close fourth. Six in Final HeatSix stars were in the final heat. Papul Kealoha was fifth and Lee Jervis of Hollywood A. A. sixth. Four heats decided the finalists, the winners and two fastest seconds qualifying. Buddie Smith of New Orleans had some tough luck in the second heat, when he became entangled in the line marking tinlane and could not finish. He might have qualified. It took him several minutes -to get loose. The other Olympic event decided Thursday was the 1,500-meter swim, which was won by the Western conference champion. Richard Howell of Northwestern University. The time was 22:35 1-5. The Olympic record, made in 1912. is 22 minutes. The world's record is held by a Swede, Arne Borg, with a mark of 21:35.5. Wallace O'Connor of Venice Plunge, Cal, led for a greater part of the v ay, but Howell came strong at the close . nc won by about fifteen yards. Clyde Golowater of Neptune Beach Club. Oakland. Cal., was third, and John Hawkins of Princeton University. fourth. Goldwater's performance was noteworthy, as he swam the 1,500 meters in the morning to qualify.
