Local Telegraph Features 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. WOMEN GOLFERS ' GO INTO FINALS OF NORTH SIDE PINEHURST.

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.

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 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.

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.
