Miami, Feb. 1.
Ralph Flanagan, one of America's outstanding swimmers, will not be able to participate in championship events at Honolulu even if he receives an invitation from the Hawaiian group, Steven Forsyth, his coach, said today.
Forsyth explained that his protege would be -unable to accept the offer io swim against leading Japanese swimmers because of the fact that he would not be able to obtain leave of absence from the University of Texas. The university would not grant him permission to leave since his departure for Honolulu would interfere with his studies. Thus a good event will not take place—United Press.
