line up at the Bimini plunge for an
other splash after the bedewed goals.
Les Henry predicts another victory

is expected to be a prime aid for the
Water Rats as his faulty knee is al
most entirely well and the Harvard
swimmer is once more in perfect trim
to play his best.
After the game a meeting will be
held between the two clubs and other
enthusiasts for the purpose of COM
