furious speed. the first 50 metres being covered in the fast time of 342 seconds, the gruelling pace eventually proved too much for the contestants and Hekking was finally clocked in 2 minutes, 378 seconds. eight seconds above Toby Gavriloffs record for the distance established in 1938, but considerably better than the 244 recorded last year by Charles Huang, Grebenschikoff Extended The Men's 100 yards breast-stroke did nor prove such an easy victory for Grebenschikoff as expected, for Dodd. after taking his customary early lead, fought off all attempts of ihe champion to draw level and it was only in the last lap that Grebenschikoff finally managed to assume the lead and win by a yard io spare, The time of 76% seconds was & second below the mark recorded by Grebenscikoff in the heats last Wednesday and a second better than his time in 1940, Jil Peach in Faulty Turn A very bad turn nearly cost Jill Peach—the record-holder and champion—to lose the ladies' 50 yards backstroke, The winner lost a full two seconds on the turn, enabling Miss L.
