lacking in good two-twenty dash
- Said George Nistler, coach OF the
.m psnn swimming team. In his sanotum
this morning. :,
The yeteran tutor of the Red and
o,,a oouatic team was discussing the
Dann prospects in dual meet between
-. team and the Eli aggregation in
w,irbtman Hall pool Saturday after
W., ot Q 80. The result Of the meet
Iii" III, virtually decide the intercollegiate
.Samnlonship in swimming, as both
...ms are regarded as unbeatable among
Ms other teams in the league.
"If We had two good 220.yard men
=. would have more than an even
,h.nce TO defeat the swimmers from
Snu Haven" continued Kistler. Last
- r.,r they had one Of the best college
srimming teams I have seen In many
sssrs in college ranks. This year they
.,e almost as good, but our team II
s,sotlv improved over the one that last
ssoson lost twice to the champions.
,Thc meet should prove close from
n. 6rst race, with the possibility OF It
h.,ng decided in the last event or two.
NJ have an excellent all around team
,h;s wear. and while not over confident
tss that wc are going to make the
uulldops fight to the bitter end for vic
tory.
"There is n CHARGE that records may
t.u in the meet. The dashes and the
rsiov will provide competition the like
- which has not been seen among the
onleees for a long time. The relay race
WITH Martyr, Hoist. Genthner and
Armstrong @ representing the Red and
Rlne should be one Of the best Of
,bs season. The teams are about
srsnly matched. and II our lead off men
c,n get away to even n short lead !
am confident that Armstrong and
C,enthner. the last two men, will re-
lain It to the end.
"Tc have an eaceilent oppor-
funity 10 trin the ,cdter polo game.
Yale has q team about as strong
az ours. tchich isn't the best on
the league by any means. The
lack Of big men has severely
hammered ny IN our cork for

III the league would only adopt the
English game where fast and not big
men are The rule we would have an ex-
cellent opportunity to lead the league.
The players we have now are light in
weight and fast, just the right combina-
tlon for the English game. Outside the

Lack Of Candidates
ut is rare afternoon il we have
two teams to scrimmage each other in
water polo practice. Often we are
! forced to make up four or fve-men
| teams, two and one less than the regu-
lar number. The other colleges. l am
told, have as many as four or five teams
working out an the time"
Not in many years has Penn had such
an opportunity as this year to win the
college swimming championship. Yale
has had the lions share Of the honors
for the last few years, Penn usually
trailing along in second place.
This year with Genthner and Hoist
from last years freshman team eligible
for varsity competition, the Red and
Blue team is stronger than in years.
The remainder of the team. is COM
posed of veterans. Loeb and Rambo.
the former star on the freshman re :
lay team last year, and the latter a
member of the varsity team last year,
