named Peterson, Yale's little seXtet of
water poloists swan through. around,
over and under the City College team
last night in the c. c. n. y. tank, for
ii to victory.
The victory at water polo was a
eapsheaf for the 46 to s score by which
the Old Eli team decisively won the
swimming meet.
1t took the Yale water poloists the
entire first half to get working without
friction, but the blue sextet came with
such gallant rush in the second half
that the c. c. n. y. team was swept
down the tank and was constantly on
the defensive. Not once during the en-
tire second half was the New Haven
goal seriously menaced.
Elusive and Tricky
Peterson was easily the individual
star of the game. c. c. n. US backs
and goal found him rs elusive and
tricky as RAINBOW trout, for he made
up in underwater work what he lacked
in sheer poundage. Several times he
sank before the rushes of Grasheim,
Jicha and Suda, only to wriggle away
at the bottom Of the tank and, with an
unerrng sense of direction, shoot
again to the surface with the white
oval impinged against his rivals goal
1t was Peterson who made the open
ing score of the game. going through
Suda in a miXup directly in front Of
the c. c. \. Y. goal. c. c. n. y. came
back and evened the count when Mike
Auerbach picked up the rubber in front
Of Yale's goal after Dexter had tempo
rarily lost sight of it. Auerbach pressed
the ball against the wooden background
for q goal which. with goal shot
after foul, sert c. c. n. Y. into the
lead. Before the first half had ended
Peterson had twice slipped through the
attenuated defence of the New Workers
for goals and Yale led. 16 to 6.
In the second half the contest be-
came procession, with Peterson lead
through the entire c. c. n. y. sextet.
Five times he broke through for goals,
once breaking away from a regular de-
lensye swimming circus. With Vory's
goal 1t brought the total to Al, includ-
