HYATT, NEW TRIER SWIMMING COACH 1linois,' -uary, A New Trier athletes have made for _hemselves an enviable reputation as VEITZBeaders in aquatic sports, the past few ounty Geasons, competing, individually and ity, Hiicollectively, in many contests and al- fic without exception outswimming heir rivals with ease. This success etka. n water sports is due to the excep- ional training New Trier boys re- eive from Aquatic Coach Chauncey "A. Hyatt, an acknowledged master in =he tank and one of the best handlers |n the country, today. ' J C. A. Hyatt came to New Trier High school from the University of Wiscon- =n, where he had been a student, spe- meer 2112111 in physiology and physical lver :ducation, and later an instructor in bles he department of physical education. Prior to taking up athletics Mr. Hyatt Cn -- A spent two years in the College of Engi- = neering preparing himself for the pro- OXesS fession of forestry, deciding eventu- Tally, however, that forestry as a life svork did not appeal to him. | During his sophomore year Mr. Hyatt entered the only intercollegiate competition of his career, represent- ing his Alma Mater in the Western 'Intercollegiate Gymnastic meet held at the University of Minnesota where 'he was awarded an emblem for ex- _cellence at tumbling and club swinging. The director of athletics at the ZZZZB d ger university recognized in Mr. Hyatt great possibilities as an athlete ------and at the end of his sophomore year offered him a position as an assistant ------instructor in the athletic department. 9, } Accépting this offer, Mr. Hyatt abandoned the ranks of the amateur athlete Ss and entered the field of sports as a professional. During his first year as a TS coach he had no connection with swimming but his excellent physique of IERY® foot 1, together with the 195 pounds of "beef" he carried, rendered him , CreagPeculiarly adapted to water sports and the natatorium of the university found "him a frequent visitor with the result that interest was aroused and he was rcolniy long in becoming an exponent of aquatic pastimes. ------ At the end of his junior year Mr. Hyatt was called into the office of the _director of athletics and offered the directorship of the department of 1077) Mr. Hyatt accepted and entered into swimming in dead earnest. "During the vacation season Mr. Hyatt came to Chicago for special coaching in aquatics. Hard work under such renowned authorities as Cavill, Bacharach and White sent him back to Madison in the fall with a fund of knowledge ont arelative to water sports that made of his first year as swimming coach an un- ith tqualified success. leas Hyatt-coached swimming teams twice defeated Northwestern and Chicago p 28, nd his water-polo teams took honors from Chicago twice and secured an even break with Northwestern. His second year at Wisconsin was equally success- "ful. He developed Herbert Taylor who, during that year, made two National intercollegiate records, one of which, for the 200-yard breast stroke, time gs Chauncey A.

Much of the credit for this success properly be- ~ longs to Coach Hyatt for he personally collected funds with which to send YE Taylor to Chicago, besides inspiring within him the courage to enter the lists against a world champion and Olympic contestant. During Mr. Hyatt's third year as swimming instructor at the university, ~ Wisconsin swimmers engaged in a dual meet with Northwestern university a 1 i he 1 water stars at Patten gymnasium.
