May 12, 1928 WINNETKA TALK 23 ATTACK SWIM MARKS World Records to be Under Fire at Northwestern May 19 Several world's records will be under fire from candidates for the American Olympic teams during the athletic show at Northwestern university to take place the night of Saturday, May 19. This is the event Evanston's Olympic fund committee, headed by Dr. John Ww. H. Pollard, health com- missioner, is depending on for raising a major part of its quota of the ex- pense of sending the athletes of the United States to Amsterdam. Walter Laufer of the Lake Shore A. C. will attempt to lower the mark for the 100-meter back stroke and the team of women swimmers from the I. W. A. C. will attack the 400, 500 and 600 yard relays records. Ethel Lackie will lead her teammates. Jane Fauntz, Olympic candidate from the same club, and her sister, Ruth, will give a diving exhibition. Other features of the swimming ex- hibition will be a dual meet between the Northwestern varsity and fresh- men and events by Daughters of Nep- tune and Purple Minute Men, the or- ganizations of the best women and men swimmers of the university. While the swimming demonstration is going on, boxing, wrestling and fencing and broadsword contests will be conducted in other parts of Patten gymnasium. Fighters obtained through the Illinois boxing commission and some local men will be on the boxing card. Lupton and Schuler, Northwest- ern, two Big Ten champions, are scheduled for the wrestling matches and members of the varsity fencing squad will perform.

Miss Luse's performance was re- garded as notable as all of the contes- tants were the best orators of their respective universities, decided in pre- liminary contests. Miss Luse won the right to represent Northwestern by recently winning the Kirk Oratorical contest. In the N. O. L. she used the same speech revised and developed and called "Driftwood." It was on the college situation, declaring that col- lege people are drifting into a mass of one-minded humanity with the de- sire to be prominent, popular and financially successful, instead of assert- ing individuality. Prof. James Lardner attended the contest as the Northwestern university faculty member.
