"Mie W HEN Captain Matthew Webb swamt the English Channel an August 24-25th, 1875, he certainly started something. From that day ta, this, maay of the finest swimmers in the world have plunged into the chilly stretch of water, ready ta battie the swift currents and tr'acherous tides. Captain Webb swamn from Dover,' England, ta Cape Gris Nez, France, (about 19 miles), in 21 hours and 45 minutes. He was the first swimmer ta cross the English Channel under his own power. On August 6th, 1926, Miss Gertrude Ederle of the United States startled the world by accomplishing the Channel crossing in 14 hours and 34 minutes (a record which still stands for %vomnea), and sinee that time nearly haif of the successful attenîpts have been *made by the distaif side. Janadian Ederle? - Aitter a dozen years of ç jIchampionship competi- tion at the C.N.E. and - elsewhere, a Canadian housewif e has decided ta :, take up the challenge fi the icy Channel. Last week, Mns. Winnie Roach Leuszler of North York (Toronto) announced ber intention of swimming the 21 miles from Cape Gris Nez ta the white ciffs of Dover. If Mrs. Leuszler is successful, she will become the firet Canadian wornan ta join the swimming greats of the Dover Patrol'. Apparently the trip la best accomplished during August or September. and the feat caîls for a neat sense of timing and endurance (due ta the tides and currents) as well au swimming ability. For ber ta swim the Channel has been a family ambition since Mrs. Leuizier was a littie girl,.lier father and coach, Eddie Roach, lias bcen set on the idea ever since Winnie was big enougb to make a splash entering the water. and next summer his dream may corne true when she attcmpts the fanious crossing. No doubt, at times. ln the months of training ta corne. the twenty-one miles from France ta England will seern much farther to Wtýiinie Leuszlcr than tbcy did ta Adolph Hitler in 1941, but then, the 'Superman' lacked courage.
