pM EE WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, FRIDAY, MARCH 30, 1917 EEE Gee99999@e By Harry B. Kirtland JACK SEARLE, NEW TRIER WATER WONDER LWise old owls say that victory in ng ; contest depends upon which side rings the greatest surprise. Jack Carle; New Trier's crawl stroke immer, springs a surprise at every ent in which he takes part. No mat- or how much he may seem to loiter, how much fatigued he may appear ons his opponents, Jack is always "on lie job" crossing the finish line: A Jack Searle inherits his liking for 4 ter sports, together with his for Srength and skill, from his father, +. C. H. Searle, chairman of the hletic committee of the Haniilton hing ub and leading member of the Ham- "on Seals. From his infancy Jack d $b taught to handle himself in the "ater, his first lessons being given OD €g8; his father with a bath tub for a © ___wimming pool. It was not long un- == the bath tub had been outgrown hd the lad promoted to a regular nk where he soon demonstrated 's nerve and superiority over other ys of his age and many older in n bars. Jack specialized in the crawl stroke and when but ten years old was : ethaf >. the fans at many of the big swimming club meets with his re- --iI kable speed and ability. During his grammar school days he was a ar in the Evanston Y. M. C. A. meets, in one race defeating a red-headed mem, 1th from Kenilworth who was heralded as unconquerable, with ease and suringfidspatch. Young Searle first came under the notice of Coach Hyatt at the Chicago . A. U. championships in the Illinois Athletic club, when the future main- Hay of the New Trier championship swimming team was announced for an "<hibition crawl stroke swim. The little chap walked boldly out onto the ~wmigh diving board, paused for a moment, and then made a perfect dive from Carltonhe ten-foot board. At a later meet he swam 20 yards in :1224 and made 40 mmm, {5 in :28--two records that still stand for boys under 12 years of age. -- Immediately upon his entrance to New Trier, Searle tried out for the _wimming team, making it with his feet tied. Shortly afterward he was mpelled to undergo an operation for appendicitis which kept him from Jarticipating in water sports for several months. He celebrated his return 5 the team by beating the Oak Park star, Mott, in the 220-yard race in the hterscholastic at the University of Wisconsin. J Si Searle took part in many dual meets, placing in every one and winning ris "NT" emblem. Searle has an admirable physique, an immense reserve "ower, a bull dog determination to win and the aquatic ability to carry out hat determination. STONL, where near him in class. "usm Jack Searle has always been loyal to New Trier, though tempting offers ve been made him by different athletic associations. A long list of honors yon might be named but in keeping with his innate modesty Jack is un- Iilling to enumerate his victories. His private den, however, is decorated "ith medals and trophies galore--silent testimonials to his ability and skill. [or some time Searle has been having difficulty with several of the ancient Somans, including Caesar, and it is only lately that he has been able to Tersuade them that he is needed on New Trier's "Rubikand."
