TIGER In WATER
Coach Sullivan Declares Prince
ton Will Do Well to Finish
Third in Title Events.

lDRINCEToN, N. j., Dec. TO-
Title laurels of the Intercol-
= legiate Swimming Association
this season should go to Yale or
Pennsylvania, according to Frank
Sullivan, coach of the Princeton
swimming team, who issued q
statement today on Princeton's
prospects in the annual series Of
dual meets. The Tiger mentor
poined out that the Nassau aqua
tic team, hampered by the loss OF
several good men, would do well
to finish in third place.
He also said that there was danger
Of overconfidence among the MEM
ters of the water polo aggregation,
which last year carried off champion
ship honors.
Coach Sullivan,s statement follows:
Princeton viii have to travel fast
to finish third to Yale and Penn
syivania. The loss of Ken Smith,
captain OF the 1924 squad, by the two
sport rule; Nswby, star OF last years
freshman swimmers, on account OF
football injuries. and k<lsay. star
in the 220-yard event. has hampered
Princeton's chances.
"The men available now are Captain
Stingon, Powers and Shriver Tor the
relay, SO and 100-yard dashes; Pawley,
Selden and Kydd, plungers; Moser,
lGulik and Prime, fancy divers, and
Montgomery, Mcdonald, Lawson,
Foster, Pole and Semple for the relay
and 220. Bray looks good for the 30
and 220 events.
"Princeton's weakest event as COM
pared with other members OF the
q L. 81. In "a ~
Law. the Tiger quartet-Powers
Shriver, Stinson and Montgomery or
McDonald--at present do not oom-
pare with Pennsylvania or Yale. In
fancy diving, Moser is the best. but
lacks experience. II he can perform

should win q number of first places.

men like Balbach OF Columbia, VINO
placed second In the Olympic diving
last year: Armstrong OF Penn. VINO
Finished second In the intercollegiate
last year. and Pollard
OF Yale, who won the intercollegiate
championship, I cannot predict how
he will perform. The other two
divers are fair and viii alternate with
Moser.
ssIn the fifty, Powers Is the best
man. but his record does not compare
fayorably with that of Jeliffe, of Yale.
or 0enthner, of Penn. Both Of these
men have twenty-four- records.
The same is true in the 100-yard event.
Powers and Stinson are best 1or
Princeton, but, with records OF close
to a minute, they cannot cope wlto
Jeliffe and Genthner, who have rec
ords well under a minute. In the ~,
Montgomery and Mcdonald are prob
ably the best In the league, with the
exception of Marshall and Cook. OK
Yale, who outclass all others.
This outline is based on past per.
formances Princeton has not had
enough preliminary practice TO enable
any one to make a definite statement
as to chances, and II the plungers de-
velop and Newby is In condition for the
| I0O-yard event. II will make a material
difference to the strength of the team.
The freshman team is one OF the best
balanced that has ever entered Prince
ton. A wealth Of plunge: who do sew
enty-five feet under the minute time
| limit and several prep school cham
pions, including Draper. OF Andover,
who Is probably the fastest 220 man
In college next to Hayes, have made
the prospects for the Tiger yearlings
very bright.
"In regard to water polo: While
we have the Same team back that won
the 1921 championship, there is dan
ger of overconfidence. To date, inter
est In water polo has been at a low
ebb and this must be aroused II we
are to repeat last years performance"
