The winter swim season marks the start of the second year of Coach Walt Schlueter's leadership of Multnomah Athletic Club Swim Team. At the present time, he is training approximately fifty swimmers, both boys and girls, from ten to twenty-one. Multnomah's most outstanding swimmers fall into the 14 and under division. Many of these youngsters can give the seniors all they can handle. Besides winning many honors in their own age group, his young mermaids can be counted on being right in the thick of the battle for national honors. During 1960 Multnomah will be heard from.

JOE STETZ, JR. KNICKERBOCKER'S MEDLEY SMASHER

In today's trend toward stroke specialization, the spot- light does not fall very often on the performances of medley swimmers. Because of the new trend, or due to the fact that the individual medley is omitted from the Olympic games, most swimmers as they approach the longer distances go for the one or two favorite strokes. Joe Stetz is swimming the longer distance individual medleys, liking them and smashing the records besides. This 16-year All-American High School Prep Swim ace is the 1959 National Age Group Champion in the 400 meter individual medley with a new record of 5:43.0 (long course). For short course 400 yard Ind. Medley he is ranked 2nd in the 1959 five best times with a 5: 04.0. Joe has also done well in the butterfly, receiving national recognition in 1958 and 59. In April, 1958 he won the 400 yard individual medley Junior National Championship. That same year he was also a member of the 800 yard Junior National Freestyle relay championship and the 4 mile long distance Jun- ior National Championship Team. He is a product of the Metropolitan Assoc. age group development program. Stetz attends Horace Mann Prep School, Bronx, N. Y., and represents the Knick- erbocker Swim Club. Bob Alexander, Wayne, N. J., has coached this medley smasher for six years, work- ing him out about 2 hrs. per day. His next goal is college and a shot at the 1964 Olympics.

THEM SWIMMERS

His preselected squad of "youngster-veterans" was molded by Kristenson into a harmonious effort that resulted in a U.S. team performance that will be seldom equaled. The "girls" were unanimous in their outspoken praise of Kristenson as a coach and advisor. But the success and respect that Kris Kristenson won, has not come without prodigidous effort and years of work in the sport. Kris was born 44 years ago in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. His family moved, when he was six, to Southern California. From the Los Angeles Public School systems, he went to Los Angeles Jr. College. While at J.C. he was a member of both the swim and water polo teams. From Jr. College he attended Occidental College. Before graduating in 1940 with majors in Physical Education and Biology, he was back in ~he swim as I I a member of the swim and water polo teams.

He was / high point man on the Occidental Polo team which / won the Conference championships for 3 years. Came the war and Kris served in the Navy in Gene Tunney's Athletic Program. After discharge in 1945 as a Lieutenant, he taught in the Los Angeles Public School system. Kris Kristenson still couldn't keep away from his love of the water. Winning deep water ocean swims and serving as Pool Director for the L. A. Recreation l i; Dept. in summer and off hours only whetted his enthusiasm for the sport.

Plans for sending a top-ranking swimming team to the Olympic Games in Rome are well under way. At the convention in Miami, December 4th, the Olympic Committee and the A.A.U. will award the Tryouts and the Outdoor National Championships. It is hoped we will be able to set up these events so that competitors will have a chance to cover both without too much time and expense. It is hoped that prospective bidders for both the Championships and the Trials will be in the Middle West. At the present time there are five organizations interested in the Outdoor National Championships for men. As far as the Trials are concerned, it is assumed that prospeetive sponsors will present their bids at the same time in Miami. The dates for the Outdoor Nationals would almost have to be the last weekend in July with the Olym- pie Trials following the next week. This would en- able the Committees to place their entry blanks to the Executive Board of the Olympic Committee for approval by the 10th of August, which is the dead- line. The Men's Swimming Committee will select first and second in the individual events for the Olympic team and the first six men in the 200-meter freestyle, which will make up the relay," and two alternates. The medley relay team has to be chosen from the entire team members. The Opening Ceremony of the Olympic Games in Rome is the 25th of August. The swimming events will be the first week of the Games instead fo the last week as has been done in the past. The American swimming team a p p e a r s t o b e strong enough to give any team in the world a good race for a championship.
