composed of R. Welch, Jensen, and Wise took first place in the three- hundred-yard medley relay race. The Saint paddlers were about twenty points ahead of their nearest competitors, Granite, who were closely fol- lowed by East High. Too much praise cannot be given Coach Charles Welch, who has worked untiringly in coaching the Saint swimmers to the state champion- ship and in making swimming one of the major sports of interest in the athletic curriculum of the L. D. S. Swimming in former years has been a sport, backed by only a few enthusiastic supporters. But now, with the excellent teams produced each year, and with continued success seeming imminent, many have become more interested in the water sport and large crowds have been in attendance at the various meets. Many aspiring stars have also tried out for places on the team because of this added interest. Relays, medley events, and individual races have been hotly contested and some swimming records were broken during the nineteen thirty season. All of the members of the squad received valuable experience from this year's work and many will stand excellent chances of capturing a place on a college swimming team, where more fame and honor will await them. Captain Sorenson has done much to bring about the successful season. Coach Welch has trained several Juniors along with the regulars and the prospects for another championship team for next year are very bright. R.
