MEDICA LEARNED
FIRST SWIMMING ’
STROKE AGE SIX
Jack Medica, of Seattle and the
University of Washington, the holder
of ten swim records and the rightful
successor to Johrtny Weismuller as the
greatest of the day, started swimming
at the age of six years in Green Lake,
Seattle, a half-mije from his home. He
didn’t improve much until he was 13
when he was tutored by an expert.
Then in 1930 he became affiliated with
Ray Daughters, famous swim coach,
and showed steady improvement until
hee reached the top.
Medica made the Olympic squad in
1932 as an alternate on the reUy team,
but he didn’t get to swim, admitting
that at that time he wasn’t good
enough. He saw the Jap swimmers rout
the Yankees, and right there he de
cided to do something about it. Jack
wears glasses when he is net swim
ming, ars when he takes them off
he can’t see the length of the aver
age pool. He says he doesn’t like
to drink or smoke, but if he did he
wouldn’t abstain because of his swim
ming. He likes to play bridge and
read, but he has not favorite authors,
reading anything he happens to pick
up. He will be graduated from the
university in June, but has no plans
for the future. He majored in physi
cal education.

RAIN HALTS GAME
AT DARNWELL, ROB
PRUNES HIS TEAM
Rain stopped the intended game
at Barnwell, S. C., between the Sa
vannah Indians and the Columbia
Sally League ball club yesterday
and as a result the exhibition match
between the two nines has been
scheduled again, this time for

Ford, catcher, and “pixie Hill, third
baseman.
Hill left here for the Class D
club at Jeanette, Ra., and Braytop
is headed for the Palatka club in

ever, are dye Monday from Birming

McKenna In Record Breaking
Form As High School’s Tank
Team Makes Debut At DeSoto
In an exhibition enlivened by the
record breaking form of John Mc-
Kenna, breast stroker, the Savannah
High swimming team last night made
its bow before a small but enthusi
astic crowd at the DeSoto Pool.
Swimming with the same ease and
grace which last year won for him
the coveted GIAA crown the Jacket
stylist completely dominated the field
to win his event by more than one
half a length of the pool. Bidding
holder in his event for the coming
fair to become the Southern title
season, the slim youngster appears
to have improved much over his
winter lay-off.
Sam Williams, the Blue Jacket
Coach, expressed hope that his boys
would finish among the top notchers
in Atlanta, and was enthusiastic over
the prospects that he had for the
diving and breast stroke events. Be-
TECH SWIM STAR
IN FINE FETTLE
AS VISITS HOME
J. B. Holst free style and diving
star for Georgia Tech dropped into
town yesterday for the week-end. Ap
pearing in fine shape for the con
tinuation of the college season, the
former Savannah High star has lost
only one meet for the current sea
son and that against Clay, the Emory
representative.
Having concluded meets against
Auburn, Florida, Tennessee, and
Emory, Holst is anxious to dive
against Clay in a coming meet. Also
swimming the 50 and 100 yard free
style events, this college star is high
point man in the Southern Confer
ence. Returning to Atlanta Sunday
he will return home in time for com
petition with the Savannah “Y" team
in the late spring.
LAWERSTOMAKE
BOW IN SOFTBALL
LEAGUE THIS P. M.
A complete newcomer to the ranks
the indoor teams composing the Civ
ic Softball League has been noted
with the filing of the registration of
the Lawyer’s Tea mwhich will vie
with five other teams for the cham
pionship in this particular league.
Being perhaps the first team to
ever represent the Savannah bar in
a softball League, the aggregation
boasts former college and city stars
in its lineup. With such names as
Alex Lawrence, Jimmy Houlihan,
Charlie Debele, Joe Hester. Sammy
Rhode, Edgar Terry, Basil Morris,
and other prominent players emong
the court circle, the ten to be chosen
to play for the lawyers will have to
fight for their positions, and not in
the vernacular of the court room.
With a practice game to be played
on the fast field at Daffln Park to
day at 6 o’clock the veteran Georgia
State Bankers, the outcome of the
newcomers’ debut will be watched
with Interest by the old heads at the
gam®- Little being known of the guid
ing force behind the men who spec
ialize in book “larnin’ ” it is strong
ly suspected that Alex Lawrence will
handle the reins from the shortstop
position with Joe Hester playing the
role of alternate Captain.

SAVANNAH DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY, APRIL 10, 1936
ing noticeably weak in the free *tyle
events, the Jacket aggregation more
than makes up for this delinquency
in the diving with Hartnoil and
Sonny Bragg in the driver’s seat,
and McKenna and Richards taking
care of the breast stroke events.
A newcomer whose form impressed
critics last night was Tom Jesup the
Bethesda lad, whose lack of swim
ming in competition appears to be
the only fault apparent in his form.
With a little experience with his
turns and starts, this swimmer bids
fair to follow in the footsteps of oth
er Bethesda luminaries; Groover,
Duflock.
With their first meet of the sea
son coming off next Friday night at
the DeSoto with the veteran YMCA
Seam Savannah’s chances against
other teams of the state will hinge
on the probable result.

LENGTH OF PIPE STEMS
ATLANTA COPS PROBLEM
ATLANTA, April 10 (TP)—lf a
policeman in Atlanta wants to
smoke his pipe while on duty, it’s
his privilege. But th& Atlanta po
lice committee strongly urged that
the bluecoats use discretion about
the length of their pipe stems. The
whole qusetion came up when Aid
erman William Joiner complained
to the police chief that one patrol
man smoked a pipe with a foot
long stem. The aiderman charged
that the copper couldn’t handle hir»
long pipe and preserve law and
order at the same time.

GUN CLUB MEN TO
SHOOT FOR THREE
PRIZED TROPHIES
Plane so rthe program of the For
est City Gun Club during the com

The question of inviting the

Savannah next year wil lalso come
up for discussion at the Wednesdaj
session. This year the association
holds its shoot next month in Al
bany. The organization may Ibe
aked to put on its competition here
next year.
FAMOUS TRAINER
SAYS MANY PUGS
TRAIN TOO HARD
A trip through the smaller cities
where boxing flourishes convinces one
that the sport of pugilism is becoming
less interesting. Mystery enshrouds the
whole picture until you get talking to
Artie McGovern, an old-time battler
himself and today the outstanding con
ditioner of men in the United 'States.
McGovern belives that the training
routine of the modern boxer is very
faulty and ought to be revised. Artie
s the fellow who runs a big gymnasium
in New York, and he makes big money
keeping waiistlines of rich folks from
ballooning beyond symmetrical proper
tions. It makes him sad to climb into
the ring as a referee and supervise a
bout between two boys who have no
roses in their cheeks.
McGovern believes the average fight
er leaves too much of himself in the
gym. In ether words he thinks the
fighter who trains too arduously convs
around to the night of the fight a
worn out man and an easy prey of
his adversary, provided the adversary’
hasn’t followed the same routine.
What boxers need, he says, is some
good suppling exercise, just enough
boxing to keep timing and judgement
sharp and a few brisk walks. Road
work doesn’t give a man the kind of
conditioning he needs in the ring, he
said. He caled attention to the cases
of two well known marathon runners
who could jog along for 26 miles with
a minimum effort, but one day they
decided they’d try a little boxing. In
less than two rounds they nearly col
lapsed.
SUMMERLIN IS
FAVORITE WIN
MUNY TOURNEY

day to battle for the championship
O- the Municipal course. Both have
been turning in cards in the seven,
ties in the laat few days’ play.

ite to win. He is an old campaigner
while Robinson has not fared so
well in tournaments during the last
several years.

man will play the winner of the
Langford-White match. Bill Cun
ningham yesterday ir the third

flight.
The finals of the ’ourth flight will
find Frank Eady opposing J. A.
Duncan. In the fifth John Nixon
will compete with C. N. Hale.
TIGER MEASURE
YANKS AT J. E. A.
Billy Cohen’s Tigers proved to be
bad news last night to Cocky Al
pert’s Yanks. The Yanks went down
in defeat to the Tigers by a 8.0
score. The setto was the only
scheduled J. E. A. Senior-Inter
mediate Indoor League game for
last night.
The Tigers garnered 14 hits to
the 7 of their opponents and mad?
one error while the Yanks had 5
errors chalked up against them.
Cohen and B. X. Fink were the
batteries for the Tigers and thos?
for the Yanks were B. Alpert and
H. Gottlieb.
