Swimming Marks SOME MAY TUMBLE INMEET SATURDAY Rote Is Leader Among Men. All of Women’s Records Held by Two Stars. BY E. A. FULLER, JR. NDICATIONS peint to plenty of fine competition in the an- l nual District A. A. U. indoor swimming championships Fri- | day and Saturday nights in the| Venetian pool at the Shoreham Hotel. ' It would not surprise to see several marks go by the boards. Mediocre performances, however, will not do if there is to be a real assault | on the records as the present marks mi most instances represent _high-class | efforts. With the Olympic tryouts Jooming, though, every one will be put- Pinetzki Proves to Be “Big” Wrestling Drawing Card 530 POUNDS WILL BE IN RING WHEN HE MEETS ROEBUCK HERE TOMORROW NIGHT. LEO PINETZKIL ting forth their best efforts. Max Rote, crack George Washington | University merman, is the lone man to Thold more than one record, while Lois Bates and Onalene Lawrence have all the women’s marks. | Rote boasts both the 50-vard and | 100 free style standards at 2635 seconds and 1 minute 1 second. He turned each | of 'em in last year. He'll be in there | defending his honors the coming week end. | Miss Bates, who holds the 50, 100 and 220 yard free style records and the 100- | yard backstroke mark, will not per- form, but Miss Lawrence will defend her titles in the 100-yard breaststroke and in fancy diving. Rote appears to have a first-rate chance of again triumphing in the 50 and 100 ‘yard free style. | EVERLY CARTER, former Central High natator, now at Duke Uni-| versity, who is the 220-yard free | style record holder at 2 minutes 423 | seconds, made in 1931, has a big task to | come through again. He will be op- | posed by Arturo Aballi who won the | outdoor 220 last Summer and others, Bob Varela, another former Central | boy, now of Duke, will strive again to win the 150-yard breaststroke, the rec- ord for which he holds at 2 minutes 1 second He turned in this performance in 1929. Competing against Varela, Who will be representing the “C"” Club, will be Richard Lane, Charles :Mac-‘ Millan and Walter Sompayrac of George ‘Washington University and Bob Knight | and John Bonnett of Central High. John Mayhew, erstwhile Central swimmer, now a University of Mary- land student, who holds the 220 breast- stroke standard of 3 minutes 1145 sec- onds, made in 1929, will not compete this year. Alvarado, Philippine repre- sentative on the 1928 Olympic team; James Kinsler of George Washington and Richard Maurer of Central are fig- ured to show strongly in this event. Georgetown will strive again to win the 200-yard relay held for the first | time last year. The Hoya team, which captured the race in 1 minute 52%; sec- | onds, comprised Aballi, Benedetti, Pryor and ‘Mehren. George Washington, Central and Ambassador Swimming | Club are expected to oppose the G. U. | team and bang-up competition is likely. ‘Whether Joe Lyman, who is the de- fending fancy-diving ' record holder, | will compete is doubtful, but there will | be other good divers in action, includ- ing Bob Knight of Cgntral, who won the event in the recegt“South Atlantic interscholastic meet g8. timore; Reg- inald Hodgson, also~of Central; Gale Heslop, Lawrence Bohner and Sompay- | Smith and Emory Wilson of Ambassa- dor Club. ENTRAL, George Washington, “C” Club and Ambassador Club will compete in the 300-yard mediey re- lay, & new event this year. The first swimmer will n ite 100 yards back- itroke, the second 100 breaststroke | and the third 100 free style. | Jean Smnth, thter of an Army officer, formerly stationed in Honolulu, | and a comparative newcomer, is ex- | pected to make a strong bid for laurels | in the women's evénts, as are Rita Au gusterfer and Anmabelle Whaler, unusually promising youngsters. | Miss Lawrence iS expected to once more win in the breaststroke and fancy diving. two the East's biggest drawing cards, may, by virtue of his 280 well-dis- tributed pounds amd with the aid of Tiny Roebuck’s 250, establish a record indoor attendance record for a Londos-less mat show at the ‘Washington Auditorium tomorrow night. Despite Roebuck’s failure to upset Strangler Lewis in last week's show, which drew a record indcor crowd of 6,000, the prospect of seeing 530 pounds in the ring at the same time is expected to produce unprecedented appeal for a show in which Jim Londos is not a principal. Pinetzki, who has a reach of 8 feet and who stands 6 feet, 8 inches in his stocking feet, has defeated Roebuck twice in other cities in sensational matches. On bcth occasions, Pinetzki, unable to pin the Indian, was forced to knock Roebuck cold. Li"l Leo, who must socn go back to Poland under the immigration law. is reported to have improved mightily since his last appearance here. Fred Grebmier's undefeated local record will get its second test from other then a palooka when the Iowa “needle” tackles Marshall Blackstock, & power in Southern mat circles. The remaining three matches will include three strong local favorites in Sammy Stein, flying tackle specialist; George Manish and Milo Stein- born. Stein will engage Jack Burke; Manish will meet tough Leon Smith, and Steinborn, holder of 14 weight-lifting records, will oppose Jack Washburn. Women, escorted, will be admitted free. Tickets are avallable at the Annapolis Hotel.

U. The game is the last on the night's card of five. It will be a oqu-gwnd game. .In the opening r ‘Scholastics drul Swann’s Service;i7 to 20, and Uniteds polished off Company F, Hyattsville Guards, 40 to 31. Another tilt of more than usual in- terest will be that between St. John's Victors and A. Z. A. Fraternity of the Jewish Community Center, & 130-pound quarter-final-round tilt, slated to start at 7 o'clock. A. Z. A. conquered St. John's, 26 to 25, last season, and the latter will be battling to even scores. In another e at 7 Georgetown Boys’ Club and Brookland Eagles will have it out in a 100-pound preliminary- round fray. Business High and Olmsted Grill will face at 8 o'clock in a 145-pound quar- ter-final game, promising fine battling, and Y. M. C. A.

GODWIN FINISHES LAWSON AS STAR Virginian Fails to Make a| Fight of It and Is Stopped in Fourth, i BY R. D. THOMAS. RIC LAWSON, erstwhile Virginia | ring favorite, was in the discard today as a main-bouter follow- ing his failure to make a fight |of a match with Bob Godwin, from Daytona Beach, Fla. in Portner's Arena at Alexandria last night, Godwin stopped his former stable mate in the fourth round after having | hit him with every sort of blow within |the rules, with no effective return. | Referee Charley Short arbitrarily ended | the bout when it was apparent Law- |son was outclassed. One round was | sufficient to demonstrate this. RIC charged from his corner with the opening bell, swung with a | vicious right that was blocked, took a couple of quick ones on the whiskers and spent the rest of his time trying to keep from getting hurt. He | took & lacing in the second round, God- win let up on him quite obviously in the third, and in the fourth, shortly after Lawson had taken a count, the referee did the proper thing. | Afterward Godwin appeared genuine- ly sympathetic in consoling a humili- ated opponent. Godwin has caught the fancy of Portner arena patrons. His perform- ance against Reds Barry last week was | masterful and he more than fulfilled | expectations against Lawson. | ILLY SCHWARTZ, after a slow start. outpointed Joe Finazzo of Baltimore in the semi-windup. It was Blily’s first appearance in two | F Street at 7th months and his fellow townsmen of Alexandria were right well pleased with him. In the four-round preliminaries Patsy Lewis stopped Jack Quigley i the fourth after having softened him with body punches in the third; Harry Groves outpointed Bob Portna in a slugging duel; Roddy Davis got the nod over Leroy Zinkham and Bob Golsby and Jesse Belt wild-pitched to e Basket Ball Card In A.A.U.
