UNDEFEATED SWIMMERS MEET STRONG YALE TEAM

With small prospects for a Crimson victory but fairly bright ones for one or two first places, the undefeated University swimmers will go into action against a favored Yale team at 7 o'clock tonight in New Haven. Given a bit of luck in picking up second places, the Harvard natators should be able to offer the Intercollegiate League champions much better opposition than Harvard's first swimming team did a year ago.

Possible Harvard Firsts

Indications point to two likely wins over the Elis. E. E. Stowell '34, after breaking the Harvard record several times in the back stroke, swam the event in 1 minute, 44 4-5 seconds against Pennsylvania last Saturday. Stowell was not pushed at that time and may be able to clip something more off his record. Anderson has done 1 minute, 44 seconds for Yale, although not in recent meets.

Captain B. S. Wood '33 is Harvard's other likely five-point scorer. Wood has shown his versatility throughout the season by entering both distance swims and sprints, in addition to holding down the anchor position on the relay. His best chance of victory seems to lie in the 440, in which event the holds the intercollegiate championship with a time of 5 minutes, 4 seconds. He would encounter Captain Osborne and Harte, both of whom have exceeded this time but who trailed Wood last spring in the Intercollegiates.

On the other hand, Wood may enter the 220, in which case he will be able to swim the century. Against Army, the Harvard leader did 2 minutes, 20 seconds, while Osborne and Hapke of the Elis have covered the distance in three and two seconds less respectively.

In all of the other events, the Yale mermen have turned in times substantially under those of Harvard. The University mermen will be obliged to extend themselves to take better than third in the 50, breast stroke, and dive. Yale's relay team, made up of Hapke, Fobes, Brines, and Butler, has equalled the world record of 3 minutes, 35 seconds, giving the Crimson little hope of annexing the final eight points.
