SWIMMING EXPERTS
TO HOLD CARNIVAL

the intercollegiate Out
door Title.
(Nationai News Association)


New York, July 8-With the outdoor
championship of the intercollegiate
Swimming association at stakes, sixty
stalwart young athletes will compete
tomorrow In the big water carnival at
Sheepshead Bay. The meet promises
to be the best in the history of the or
ganization. Ten colleges are repre-
scented: Yale, Columbia. Pennsyi-
vania, New York City College, Prince
ton, Cornell, Amherst, Brown, Will
liams and Syracuse.
Most of the entrants were out at the
course today, taking their final work
outs, and declared themselves in the
best Of condition and fit to do justice
to their best records.
There are five events on the pro-
gram, the 1O0-yards, quarter mile, half
mile, and mile swims and the fancy
diving contest. The same events were
beld last year, when Princeton carried
off the honors, but the field is not only
larger but of higher calibre this year,
90 that the Tiger swimmers will have
to extend themselves to win.
The 1O0-yard dash will bring to-
gether some of the fastest sprinters
in the league. Half dozen men are
equal favorites and 1t looks as If the
event would prove neck to neck con-
test. II. Smith, of Brown university,
Is heralded winner by New England
ers: Princeton students think they
have trump cards in A. Gosnell and II.
Barnes; Columbia expects to land in
the awards with p. Culman, J. w. Pull
ltyn and J. Edmunds; Yale will pin
faith In Wilson and Borrows: Pennsy-
vania claims the race for Ourbacker;
College of the City OF New York. relies
on Eisele and Coughlin; Cornell anti
cipates being in the running with
Shamburg and Hamilton. and Williams
thinks Captain Dean will finish In
front. AS all these men have gone
around / minue seconds there is not
much choice.
ship should be rafting good race.
J. Stoddart, of Yale; Eben and Frank
Gross. of Princeton; b. M. Eyre. of
Williams. and s. Rogow, Of Columbia,
are very evenly matched and each has
q good following. Stoddart and F..
Gross are considered the likeliest lead
ers on past performances.
l. w. Anthiry, OF Pennsylvania, is
picked by experts for the half mile
swim, but with Gross. of Princeton OPP
posing him he will have to go faster
than he ever did before to finish in
front. 1t Is also reported that McLana-
han, of Princeton; +. Sutcliffe, of Coz
umbia, and Israel and Summerfield,
of College of New York, are moving
well and may upset calculations.
For the one mile contest, Anthony
again seems best and will take lot of
beating. His most formidable rivals
are Bertrand. Rogow and Watson, of
Columbia, and Steigman and Neuss-
baum Of G. C. n. Y.
The fancy diving championship ap-
pears to be gift to Stoddart, of Yale
who took the indoor title by good
margin. His team mate, Hughes,
should make a good fight for second
place, but he is rather new to a high
platform and with such stars against
him as Plat, Wight and Laurence, of
Princeton; Patterson and Rogow OF
Columbia: Ostander and kaufman, of
Cornell; Fielding and Berman of c..
c. N. Y. and Berons of Pennsylvania.
there Is no telling how he will make
out.
The Princeton squad seems to have
the best chance OF the team champ
ionship. They should score in every
event and 1t is probable that they will
repeat their victory of last year.
