: New Trier SrDim New Trier swimmers took away the heavy ends of a swimming meet with the Oak Park high school aquatic wonders, last Saturday afternoon. The grey-and-green seniors triumphed over the invaders 31 to 28, while .the ponies won, 26 to 24. Bennett, in very slow time, took the senior 40 yard swim. The 100 yard swim also was won by the New Trier captain. Bartholomew of Oak Park narrowed' the difference between the two teams on the score-board by winning the 220 yard swim. In a · very close and fiercely contested· race, Rogers of the home men, nosed out Perkins by a few inches in the 100 yard breaststroke. This was the last senior event taken by New Trier. The 60yard backstroke went to Bartholomew of Oak Park. Meisenheimer won the fancy diving by a margin of three points. The relay .was awarded to Oak Park when one of the New Trier men started before his predecessor had finished the race. Gelder of Oak Park was the star of the juniors, with first place in the 40 and 100 yard swims. The 40 yard breaststroke went to Lennox of the invaders, and N. Granstrom in the backstro~e ·took the only first place for the JUDior locals. Granberg easily out-drove Coach Jackson's entries. At this ·point, although the invaders had captured. every first place but one, the New Tner lads had kept following with second and third in every event .but the backstroke, the score standing at 24 to 21 fn favor of the west suburbanites. . The grey-green swimmers rose to the occasion, and, in a time that they usually better l>y two seconds, took the relay and with it the ~ny-rhalt,of_the ,meet. - - - - .In, the sp~cial feature-event:== the g1rls ch~mp10nship fan-cy diving contest, Doras Fraser won by eight points over ~er nearest opponent, Helen Gerlock, m a field of six divers.
