= WILMETTE LIFE, FRIDAY, MARCH 21, 1924 PURPLE TANKERS IN BIGGER MEET Swimmera Get Chance for Olympic Team Northwestern university's champion swimming team is not going to break training, following the winning of Big 'fen honors last Friday night but will be pointed by Coach Tom Robinson for the national intercollegiate champion.,hip races at Annapolis, April 11 and 12. The Purple coach holds a contract for a d01l meet with the Navy on April 2 but is now trying to put this meet over to the ninth so that he may take only one trip east with his swimmers. He would like to swim the Navy on April 9 and then enter kis stars against all collegiate comers on April 11 and 12 in . the same pool, thus avoiding a long and trying journey. Northwestern has been informed that the intercollegiate tank events at Annapolis this year will serve as a try-out for Olympic team entries. The winners at Annapolis, Coach Robinson has been told, will have a chance to go to Indianapolis on June 13 and 14 and participate in a national swimming test which will sift out the fastest and best American swimmers-the men who will wear the Stars and Stripes in the world events abroad the coming summer. "On this account we shall send a full team to Annapoli s," said Coach Robinson. "We want our full strength there both against the middies and for the in intercollegiate events April 11 and 12." Robinson, to keep his boys in shape, has entered th ::m in the National A. A. L·. championshtp events at the Itlino:s Athletic Club April 1, 2, 3 and 4. ·Breyer and Howell will carry the Purple colors in the 220-yard free style, the 100-yard free style and the 500-yard free style, Tom said. He also will enter a team in the 400-yard relay events as follows; Breyer, Howell, Paul Corbett C~pt. Jimmy Dickson, and Granvill~ Dtckey-four of five men to swim. Tom said it is possible that he will also have his boys in the 200-yard relay. He plans to enter _Don McClellan, freshman swimmer, unattached, in the 200-yard free style. If he does, young Don will be u~ against Bob Skelton, world's chamPIOn free style swimmer, recently aN . U. tankman, and John A. Faricy, another star of equal brilliance. "If our fellows are in first class shape, we should have a fair chance of winning the intercollegiate championship at Annapolis, despite the long trip and a strange pool," Robinson said. "There has been no inter-sectional swimming championship events since 1913 when Yale first won all honors in the East, then defeated Canada and coming to Northwestern were handed a beating to the tune of 27 to 12. That year the Purple were the all-American champion swimmers. We're going out for that very thi11g during the next month.
