The Ducks were awarded the Aloha Trophy 1 for the senior division. Van Rossen said, “There were no outstanding times but the boys ; turned in good performances." VAN ROSSEN ADDED, "We hope to turn out in Hawaii every year just as the Eastern schools! train each winter in Florida now. | The opportunity to work outdoors will perhaps give us an edge over ! nations like Mexico when it comes ! to international competition.” The mermen worked out twice daily in the new Farrington Hotel pool in Honolulu. They worked on exercises and water workouts in an 11 a.m. session. The after noon workout consisted of two miles of sand running, 30 minutes of continuous hard exercises, and one mile of continuous distance swimming in the ocean.
