TEAM SWIMMING PAUL FROWN 1 . U I-2 1 -li' JOSEPH PRENDERGAST, JR. Manager, A MR. ROTHERHAM, Coach NORMAN LEMCKE, Captbi'7i i WIMMING is probably the brightest spot in the athletic history of Commerce for the year IQI 1-12. From the start the outlook was bright, as a number of veterans from the IQIO team were in school. ' The squad started practicing in the pool on November 4, under the direction of Coach Roth- erham. They worked hard, and the resultof their work was shown in our first meet, on November 120, with Jersey 5 City High School, whom we easily defeated by the score of 48 to 5. During the re- mainder of the season the team won eleven dual meets and lost one. Among the eleven won was a meet with Clinton, the score of whichwas 31 to 22. The P. S. A. L. Championship came off on lVIarch8, and Commerce was looked to to win it. However, Clinton managed to tie us, the final score being ISM points for Commerce and 1512 points for Clinton. Mack of Commerce and Schwartz of Clinton were tied for first place in the plunge. The following week these two men plunged for .first place. Schwartz suc- ceeded in defeating Mack by two feet, thereby giving the championship to Clinton. The Hnal score was 16 points for Clinton and I5 points for Commerce. Much praise is due to Mr. Rotherham for his excellent coaching, and also to Captain Lemcke, who has proven himself tobe one of the best school boy swimmers in Greater New York.
