l candidates for the Swimming and | Water Polo teams, held last Friday
 evening in the gymnasium was at l tended by 73 men. With this number | of candidates to work with, the pros poets for another championship team are bright. AS a nucleus for the team | this year there are five men who held | places on last years team. Of the relay team, which broke the inter collegiate record last year, Captain | Schlaet and Ferguson are back while | of the new material three have al
 ready proved valuable. Steiner. cap- | tain of last years water polo team IS | still here. However, the loss of Hoad- l pion and record holder of the DO yards swim will leave a vacancy difficult to | fili. In the 100 yards swim loss by graduation is most severely felt. | Nevertheless, considerable new mater | ial will undoubtedly be developed.

 Fred H. Rindge, of New York city, ] the International Secretary of the h. I dustrial. Service movement, was visitor in New Haven last week. While here he conducted series of 1 lectures the purpose of which was to l enlist more Yale men in volunteer in dustrial work. This industrial Ser i vice work is a movement which en- l lists college men. particularly engin- eering students in volunteer service for industrial workers. It trains and l encourages them in their work and after graduation cooperates with them | in their efforts for industrial and So- cial betterment. The movement start 1 ed seven years ago at Yale, and at | present time $500 students from 200 colleges are rendering volunteer in dustrial service under association | they are studying. Other students are finding opportunity to do this work where they live or work during the l summer months. Nearly 5000 grad uates who became interested at col l lege, are now promoting the ideas and 1 ideals of the movement in their larger l spheres of influence. Employers, labor l leaders, professors, social workers and
 many social agencies are cooperating 1 in the movement in a large way. It | is part of a great international move ment being promoted by city and stu | dent Young Mems Christian Associa- | tions working together with many oth- CT agencies in the United States and I Canada. It is surprising how readily | college students have responded to a I real service appeal. In a three day l campaign in New York, the Indus 1 trial Service movement was presented l at Columbia, New York University 1 and the College of the City of New
 York, with the result that 33O students ] showed great interest and 165 were 1 willing to undertake immediate work.
 In a single year, 182 graduates en- | gagged in industrial service in New 1 York City, and the movement has be- | come of such importance that a sec retary gives all his time to it. It is i noticeable that many of the biggest 1 men in college volunteer for service in l this line. At Yale athletes, debaters, and honor men are deeply interested l and active in this work It is not at 1 all uncomOn for a hundred men to volunteer from a college in a single 1 day. Recently, during six weeks pre- ] sentation of the work at the colleges
 in the Middle West, 500 students vol unteered for definite service, and most
 of them have already been placed. As | a result of MT. Rindge's visit to Yale l already APO students have expressed
 their interest in the movement.
