Swimmers Train Daily to Prepare for One of Stiffest Seasons---Cornell, Colgate New Rivals

Coaches Ulen and Petersen Show Reticence in Revealing Team Prospects

By Charles N. Pollak ii

Forty-four swimmers are now reporting daily to Coach Hal Ulen for conditioning exercises and short pool workouts, in preparation for one of the toughest seasons ever experienced by a Crimson tank squad.

Two New Opponents

Cornell and Colgate are newcomers to the Varsity schedule, and little is known about their present strength. The fact that the Princeton meet is away will add immeasurably to the team's troubles, for not only will there be the hazard of the Tigers' three national stars, Van de Weghe, Hough, and Parke, but there is always the problem of a strange pool to slow up Crimson swimmers.

It is not definitely known whether the team will compete in the Nationals at Michigan. Whether it will or not depends solely on its dual meet success. Just now, Coach Ulen is answering "yes and no" to every question regarding the team's prospects, and Yardling Coach Pete Petersen is countering queries by saying "Ask Hal."
