Trounce Blue Devils

Rose Bowl Football Game records were created here today when Peter Fick and Dorothy Evans revealed grand form in the 50-yard and 50- metre free style events respectively.

Surging through the water with terrific speed, Fick covered the 25-yard pool in the 50-yard event in 21.6 sec-ends and clipped one-tenth of a second from the farmer record which was held jointly by himself, Johnny Weismuller and Duke Kahanomoku.

Miss Evans swam over the 50-metre straightaway course and also set a new world standard. She was timed at 30.7 seconds. The former mark was 31 seconds and was registered fourteen years ago by Ethel Lasky.—United Press.
