Evening

New Haven, Feb. 28-Coach BOZ
Kiphuth of the Yale swimming
team who has been putting together
the program for the tenth annua,
Swimming Carnival to he held to-
night at BIS, last night announced
the order of events which taken
as a whole Is one Of the most at
tractive ever offered for this mid
winter entertainment. In all there
will be eleven events, but between
some of these at different points
of the program will be diving ex-
hibitions from both the low and
high board by Jim Cook, Sandy
Thompson, Jack Smith formerly OF
Dartmouth, and Dorothy William
son and Ann Ross of New York.
The program will open with the
annual presentation put on by the
Faculty Kids which will include
swimming and various kinds of
stunts in the water, and when the
youngsters are out Of the pool Miss
Jean Booth of New Haven will
make an attempt to shatter the in
dividual medley relay record at $50
yards.
Event No. 3 will be the presena-
ton of cup by the Yale Dramatic
association to the Yale Swimming
association, following which there
will be some record attempts by
many members of Yale's crack
team. Dorothy Dodson and Mary
Jane Kent of Chicago the A. A. U.
national champions in pair syn
chronized swimming, will take to
the water demonstrating their ar
istic work for the first time in the
east.
Breast Stroke Star
The next event will be an attempt
by Maria Lenk, the great South
American swimming champion, to
better the 500 yard breast stroke
record. Miss Lenk is undoubtedly
the No. breast stroker in the
country today. Six Yale college
teams will follow Miss Lenk in the
water and will swim through med
ley relay of $50 yards; and at the
conclusion of that event the car
nival queen will be presented. The
young lady probably will be selected
from the hundreds of freshman
prom guests who will be among the
audience Saturday night. A novel
dramatization Of the Ugly Duckling
will be event No. 9, a dramatization
which should rank with any shown
during the revious carnival. And
then will come Gloria Callen the
outstanding woman back stroke
swimmer Of the present time. Miss
Callen will attempt to break the
220 yard backstroke record and
swimming as she is today, she may
succeed in that effort.
Then as the concluding number
of the program, will come the IA
nous clown act put on by the
Aqua Zanies. An act similar to this
has always been one of the high
light attractions offered by the
swimming association in the presen-
tation of the carnival. Altogether,
Coach Kiphuth and Bert Shevelove
who will be master Of ceremonies at
the carnival, believe that the pro-
gram will match up well with any
of he nine others of its type. They
point out that there will be a lit
tie of everything, with probably the
greatest variety of acts in the his
tory of the carnival.
Wide interest is being shown In
the event this year and the chances
favor an exceptionally large audi
ence. The athletic association re-
ports spirited sale of tickets and
at the same time, announced that
there are plenty on hand these tick
cts being available at the A. A. office
today and at the box Office in the
Payne Whitney Gymnasium in the
evening.
