Sammy Fishman, the "Maiden Minnow," together with Ikea Powers are expected to show the Harvard players something in the way of running this afternoon. Both backs did well against Pennsylvania last weekend. Ward Donner is another Indian whom football fans will remember as one of the best ends produced last season, and he is as well a noted pass receiver. Dave Hedges, starting right halfback, is a veteran player...
...Jones Beach. A towheaded girl with a little boy's face and the torso of a minnow, 15-year-old Katherine Rawls of Miami Beach, Fla., surprised everyone a year ago by winning the national breast stroke championship at 220 yd. Last week in the Olympic Swimming Trials for Women at Jones Beach State Park. L. I., she surprised everyone again. Sure that she could qualify for the team with third place or better, her coach told her to take it easy in the 200-metre swim, save her strength for the diving that came later the same afternoon...
...Minnow Rawls had one more surprise left. She clambered onto the 10-ft. springboard, began manipulating her tiny sunburnt person toward the water as though she were impersonating the knife in a game of mumblety-peg. A brilliant half-gaynor helped her get the points she needed to win the event, 78.64 to 77.75, from goldilocked Georgia Coleman, U. S. diving champion since...
...pretty freshness with big muscles and fat, breaks a backstroke record almost every time she goes for a swim. This time it was the world's record for 100 metres, which she swam 1:18.2. A crowd of 55,000 wanted to see what would happen between Minnow Rawls and Georgia Coleman in the platform dive. Again Minnow Rawls surprised everyone: she withdrew. Georgia Coleman's running swan dive looked too short and the title went to Dorothy Poynton of Los Angeles, who wore a white bathing suit, a red-&-white bandanna around her head...
...lively girl named Mary Ewing Outerbridge paid a visit to Bermuda. There British Army officers taught her a game which was becoming a polite fad in England. When she returned to the U. S., Mary Outerbridge brought with her a net suitable for minnow-fishing, several strange-looking, gut-strung bats and a rule book. She had her net pegged up on the grounds of the Staten Island Cricket & Baseball Club, set about teaching her family how to play tennis. Seven years later, when the game was being played at 33 U. S. clubs, her brother, Eugenius H. Outerbridge, helped...
