Matsushita went out in front from the start of the quarter mile and swimming his powerful stroke, soon forged into a comfortable lead. Matsushita has 'a peculiar stroke, and brings the hands across the body below water, getting tremendous power out of his stroke, and using his feet in what appeared almost an eight-beat crawl, He won comfortably in 5 min. 18 1/5 sees, In the men's 100 yards backstroke, E, Smith went out in the lead followed by Arimitzu, the latter spurting in the third length and going ahead, but the final spurt was hard ight and Arimitzu only won by a narrow one year without bail.
