egg' . . COACH STREETER For the second time in two years, the varsity swimming squad copped all honors in the city, Cross- State and state competition to set an all-time record. Under the able leadership of Ed Werner and Bob Steinseifer, co-captains, and Mr. Streeter, their new coach, the tankmen were able to take on several out- side engagements besides their regular meets. One of these was a trip to Victoria, B. C., which, it is hoped, will be an annual occurrence. Although they were beaten by the Canadians, the mermen did not lose a single league meet. Lincoln met defeat twice at the hands of the Tigers, 39-27 and 49-17. The latter victory was won even though the Royals had five men missing. By an 18-point margin the Bengals won over their nearest opposition, Lincoln, in the state meet at the University of Washington pool. The scores were: Stadium, 59, Lincoln, 41, Everett, BSMQ Longview, 122. - At their annual banquet the varsity mermen bestowed the honor of inspirational award upon Dick Nicholson and voted Ken Addis and Dave Bigger to be co-captains for next year. Besides these two, the team of next year will be blessed with 25 returning lettermen. Competing in a total of six meets, the reserve swimmers had a perfect season by taking the city title and winning all of their matches. Lincoln, their only opponent, never seriously threatened the fast Tiger mermen, who won by at least 24 points each time. Outstanding in the squad were Bob Nichols in the 200-yard race and Dave james and Bill Storie in the 100-yard. Contrary to tradition, the reserves did not elect a captain but gave Dave James the inspirational award. ROW 1: Dave Bigger, Don Kneip, Clare Hopper, Ed Werner, Mr. Strecter, Bob Steinseifer, jim Driscoll, Ted Erichsen, Joren Husby, Ralph Loudin. ROW 2: Bob Bourden, Dick Lowery, Dick Nicholson, Dave james, jack La Rue, Bob Nichols, Bill Bidwell, Bill Storie, jim McCormack, Benjamin Marble.
