By BOB TRIMBEE Canadian Press Staff Writer Swimming, which has Staged a dramatic revival ip Canada recently, is the only Sport that has produced a Canadian triple winner in Olympic or British Empire Games competition. It has been 55 years since George Hodgson, an 18-year- old Montreal schoolboy, be- came Canada's first and oaly Olympic swimming gold medal winner. : And young George's per- formance ranks with the best displays of the more widely- tion, she has created quite a splash in the restricted British Empire Games. There she has won 29 swimming and diving golds, 13 by women. And it was only last sum- mer that Elaine Tanner, a 15- year-old high school student from Vancouver, won an un- precedented three individual swimming golds and added a fourth to her total as a lead swimmer in a winning relay squad. Elaine stamped herself as the Commonwealth swimming queen with victories in the 110- and 220 - yard butterfly publicized American water and the 440-yard individual aces. medley. In winning the 220 In 1912 he not only won the butterfly she clipped two sec- 400-, 1,000- and 1,500-metre onds off the world record with a time of 2:29.3. The 108 - pounder, dubbed Mighty Mouse by Canadian team-mates, also won three silver medals and_ finished with seven, second only to team-mate Ralph Hutton, 18, of Vancouver, who won eight medals in eight races at the Games. PUSHED AUSSIES Hutton's only gold came in the 440 - yard medley relay when a victorious Australian team was disqualified after two swimmers left before a team-mate had completed the preceding leg. But Ralph was something of a king-maker at the Games, three times winning a silver in pushing an Australian win- ner to a world record. No swimmer ever has left the Games with as many medals as Hutton did. Aside from the individual efforts of Miss Tanner and Hutton, what caught the fancy of Canadians was the over-all total of 57 medals won in the 1966 Games at Kingston, Ja- maica. All but four members of the 25-man swimming and diving team returned home with at least one medal. events but came away from the Games with four world records. In fact, his winning time for the 1,500 cut two minutes, 33 seconds from the listed world record and was 23 seconds faster than the next man to win the event in the Olympics: American Nor- man Ross in 1920. Hodgson's world records came in the three events he won and in the mile, which ne completed after winning the 1,500 metres. Backing Hodgson's superla- tive effort was the silver- medal performances in both the 1,000- and 1,500 - metres events by George Vernot, an- other Montrealer. FINISHED THIRD Vernot eight years later won Canada's last Olympic swimming medal when te placed third in the 400 metres. The only Olympic diving medal, and to date the only one. captured by Canadian 'women in water sports, was a third-place bronze by Irene MacDonald in the 1956 Games at Melbourne, Australia.

But it is to Miss Tanner and Hutton that Canadians look when thinking about who will be the first Canadian swim- mer to mount the presentation Stand for an Olympic medal and break the 47-year drought since Vernot's bronze. Prior to the 1966 British Empire Games, Canada's best showing came at London, England, in 1934, when she 'won eight swimming and div- ing golds. Phyllis Dewar of Moose Jaw, Sask., was the only double winner, taking the 100- and 400-yard freestyle. The Canadian team won four relays that year, tte men's 880 freestyle and 330 medley and the women's 400 freestyle and 330 medley. ROWERS WIN MEDALS While swimmers have been battling in the wake of other countries in Olympic events, Canadian rowers have shown a steady if not spectacular pace. The rowers have been medal winners since 1904, but the first Olympic rowing gold was won in 1956 in Melbourne by the University of British Columbia fours without cox. In the next Olympics, in 1960 at Rome, George Hungerford of Vancouver and Roger Jack- son of Toronto won the pairs gold medal. The 1904 medal was a silver won by the Argonaut Rowing Club of Toronto in the eights. Other silvers came in the eights and fours without cox in 1924, the double sculls in 1928 and the eights in 1956 and 1960.
