SWIMMERS OPEN SEASON WITH BOWDOIN TONIGHT

Harvard's second swimming team in 16 years must roll up enough points to give it better than a four to one victory in its initial meet with Bowdoin in the Athletic Building at 8 o'clock this evening if it is to equal the record set by its predecessor a year ago.

The University mermen should have no trouble tonight but their performance will give some indication of what may be expected of them during the rest of the season. In spite of the success which attended Harvard's first swimming team in many years, and the fact that, with two important exceptions, all of the veterans of that team are back this year, Coach Ulen has consistently refused to recognize any improvement in the outlook. Some of the men will be more experienced but, handicapped by the loss of W. S. DeLima '31 and Addison Love '33, it is doubtful if the team as a whole can average as good time as last year.

Captain B. S. Wood '33 will be entered tonight in the 440-yard free-style and in the relay, new moved up from 200 to 400 yards. Wood last year competed chiefly in the short events but this year Ulen plans to use the versatile 440-yard intercollegiate champion in whatever event Harvard's opponents are strongest.
