By HARRY GRAYSON NEA Service Sports Editor MIAMI BEACH, Fla, March 25. —Mrs. | Katherine Rawls Thompson has returned to the races. This! will be good news to those interested | in swimming, for there never was a greater or more ver-

the little Ft. Lauderdale matron.

Kitty Rawls was finished as a competitor when: she defaulted four naational titles last summer. After-all, she’s Mrs. Theodore Thompson now and is busy teaching Friend Husband Ted to swim while she polishes up her flying. Thompson conducts an aeronautic school in Ft. Lauderdale.

She Gets the ‘Bug’

But Kitty, who stands just five feet two and never weighed more than 106 pounds soaking-wet,. got

Plonships at the MacFadden-Deau-ville Pool here. The National Indoor Women’s Championships were held in an outdoor pool. You figure that out. It’s Florida.

It will be two years ago next May that Kitty and Ted Thompson, former Indianapolis boy and graduate of Indiana University, were married en route to Florida., Kitty had just competed in ‘a meet at the Indianapolis Athletic Club and was wearing Thompson's fraternity pin. He flew her back to Florida, their surprise marriage being Restored en route in Georgia. : i

When the outdoor championships are held ‘in Portland, Ore., in midAugust, Kitty Rawls, only 22 now, will be among those |present, and then we'll see ‘how’ good: some of these Johnny- -Come- -Lately misses are. They're pretty good, Thompson admits. The [features of the indoor (outdoor in this fantastic land of the sheltering palm) . championships were: 1. Fifteen- year-old Brenda Helser

as Mrs.

‘lof Portland, Ore., knocking off more

than two seconds from the 220-yard free-style mark by negotiating the distance in 2:30 3-10. 2. Thirteen-year-old Patty Aspinall of Indianapolis establishing a new American record for the 220yard breast stroke . .. Bfiocking almost three seconds off it . . . 3:10 1-10. 3. Helen Crlenkovich of San Francisco getting 146.77 points, more than any other woman has ever been awarded in 10-foot diving.

Georgeous and Graceful

Helen Crlenkovich — pronounced Krel-enk-0-vich—is a gorgeous creature . . . a worthy successor to the Georgia Colemans, Dorothy Poynton Hills and Marjorie Gestrings. Helen, slender and graceful as can be, celebrated her 19th brithday in. January on a boat headed for the Argentine, where she gave exhibitions along with other famous American women swimmers and divers. Miss Crlenkovich registers from | San Francisco.
