LLOYD HOLLISTER INC. 1232-36 Central Avenue Wilmette 4300 Winnetka 2000 Wilmette Greenleaf 4300 Sheldrake 5687 Display Prowess in Annual Tank Frolic Tom Robinson's summer swimming classes will reach their climax in a water carnival Saturday afternoon at Northwestern gymnasium which will close the instruction conducted by the university coach for 700 women, boys and girls. This will be the eighteenth carnival Tom has conducted. Fifty-five events are carded for the program, in which children from 4 years old and up will compete. Races will be held for the various age groups and heights. One event which has always attracted a great deal of in- terest and will be repeated this year is the 160-yard relay between boys and girls. So far out of eighteen contests, the girls, and not the boys, have the edge. They have won ten races while the boys have had to be content with eight. Tom himself is planning to enter the pool during the carnival to give an exhibition of the many stunts he dis- plays only a few times each year. Exhibition swimming will also be done by several of the Northwestern aqua- tic stars, including Jimmie O'Keefe, diver: Dick Howell and Phil Druiding, prominent swimming alumni, will race Mark Wicks and Paul Callopy, varsity men, in the 100 yard free style, and Al Schwartz will exhibit. Practically all the 700 people who have been under Tom's tutelage this summer have learned to swim, and a large number of them are entered in Saturday's events. There will be medals for all participants, gold for the winner, silver for second place and bronze for third and fourth. Another feature will be a demons- tration by the special Monday and Thursday morning 9 o'clock class which will exhibit all kinds of strokes and life saving methods. In closing his 1928 summer classes, Tom has had an even 3,000 pupils in the past year, including those in the university year as well as the summer tank work. The many swimmers he has turned out in his coaching days schooled in the methods of life saving are averaging 500 rescues annually, he estimates. The last time he took a census of his swimmers was in 1922, and 458 rescues had been made that year. He is planning to make another census this fall. Tom is planning to exhibit his in- struction methods to the coaches at the university coaching school which opens Monday. He will use children from the classes in demonstrating his work.
