BUSY SEASON
IS PLANNED
SWIMMING POPULAR AMONG BIG
EASTERN COLLEGES
Six Institutions in League Which Has
Planned Lively Schedule-Water
Polo Tournament on
Program

NEW YORK, Nov. 29.-Aquatic sports
are assuming an important position in
the collegiate world and the enthusiastic
activity displayed in the university pools
this fall gives every indication of a bril-
liant season for 1907-19O8. So far have
things advanced that the intercollegiate
Swimming association decided to lose no
time in formulating plans. and met here
for that purpose last week.
After electing Foster Naething of
Yale president, Z. Hopkinson Jr. of
Pennsylvania vice president and w. C.
Springer of Princeton secretary and treas
urer the delegates took up the question of
arranging the details of the intercolle-
glate tournament. The system of last
year was again adopted There will be
dual meets, consisting of so, 100 and 22O
yard swims, plungs for distance, fancy
diving and a four-man relay race, each
to swim fifty yards. Each team will have
to meet the other in the tournament and
the total number of victories will decide
the championship The water polo games
VIII be held in connection with the dual
meets but will be a totally separate af-
fair. The individual championships will
be competed for at a special meet to take
place In the Princeton tank on April 4.
change was made at the meeting in
the membership of the league Brown
university resigned and the College of the
City of New York was take in irstead
This leaves six in the organization-Yale
Princeton, Pennsylvania, Harvard, Co
lumbia and C. C. N. Y
1t was rumored at the meeting that
there was strong probability of the new
swimming associations of Amherst and
Williams combining with Brown in the
formation of a triangular league 1t
seems that the Providence boys were dis
couraged over their poor showing of last
year and thought it would be more salts
factory to find opponents nearer their own
caliber.
Princeton or Yale
Should the proposed league come to
pass it will do lot to promote interest
In the sport. A canvass of the various
squads gives evidence that the fight for
premier honors will be close and keen.
1t looks like Princeton or Yale in swim
ming and Pennsylvania or Yale in water
polo.

collegiate swimming tournament:

WAIKIKI AND AALA
PARK ARE CROWDED

There was a large crowd at the Wal
kiki beach yesterday afternoon; and
there were many swimmers in the
water. The officers of the Cincinnati,
which leaves this morning for the
Coast, were at the Seaside, Captain
Quinby being among the number. and
all went out for ride in the surf
canoes, enjoying the experience great
ly. Honolulu certainly has earned a
good reputation with the officers of
this ship from the way the officers and
men talk.
One of the interesting things to be
seen at the beach was the giving Of
swimming lessons to the chief officer
of the Indiana, Mr.. Hodgins. He was
accompanied by Purser Al. Evans and
Second Officer Yardley. who insisted
that the more salt water he swallowed
the better he would float. His at
tempt to follow this advice caused a
great deal Of fun for those on the
beach.
The ball game at Aala Park was
the attraction which drew the greatest
number of spectators. A good game
was expected and before 1t commenced
the crowd was so large that there was
hardly room to play.
