George Kojac, Intercollegiate 100-Yard Free Style Champion, Entered in Meet

George Kojac, the Rutgers College swimmer who shattered his own intercollegiate record for the 100-yard free style event with a time of 53 1-5 seconds, two-fifths of a second better than his former mark, will be entered in the National Intercollegiate Association swimming meet to be held on March 28 and 29 in the new Crimson pool. In this competition more than 30 Association members will be entered.

It is expected that a dozen or more colleges will send their star swimmers to participate in the ten events of the meet. Harvard will not take part in the competition this year, as the University has no regular swimming team: but R. L. Honget Jr. '31 who has been chosen as manager for next year, will be in charge of this year's meet, which is the seventh annual event of the Intercollegiate Association.

Pool Nearing Completion

The new pool, the donation of "Alumnus Aquaticus". Is rapidly nearing completion. It is expected by those working on the construction that the tile work will be all finished within two weeks and the first flooding of the pool made shortly after that time. The smaller tank, to be used for non-swimmers, is practically done, while all but the floor of the larger one is finished. Work has been started on the grandstand seats, of which there are a total of about 2400.

The larger unit is 75 feet long and 40 feet wide, going from seven to ten feet in depth. The smaller is 20 by 40 feet and five feet deep at the far end. Quite an engineering difficulty was experienced in the construction of the large pool, Intercollegiate rules call for an exact length of 75 feet. Due to expansion of the materials, great care had to be taken in the laying of the cements. Ceramic tiling was used throughout.

It will be impossible to get into the water with one's clothes on according to the designers. All entrances to the tank go first through a shower room, and then through an eight inch deep foot bath. There are two shower rooms, one on each side, containing 30 showers apiece. On the pool floor there are over a thousand lockers in rooms directly under the grandstand seats. Participants will not have to enter these rooms while still wet as there are two drying rooms furnished with hot air ventilation between the showers and lockers. Also, there are squad rooms and visitor's rooms on the same floor.
