Sh ,Y 'gi ...L-,.. H. 9? kwa? 1,- yg-,digg . 5 Q' b -li., and . . . and Swimming . More emphasis was plated on swimming Ibis year than in any previous season, probably because of tbe sbut-down of baseball and tbe cancelling o f the golf and tennis sebedules. As this is written. only two meets remain to be swum, the Blueb- Foxe Invitational, sometimes called the Paeifr Coast Prep Championship, and a meet will: Har- vard Military Academy. It is probably bad to speculate. but it safe to say that the latter meet will be won by sheer sujzeriority, while tbe former, in which Flintriflge will be defending champion. may well be won by eagy swimming.

A,-.. .M ff '91 K Mx Egg S 9 The personnel of this 'year's team is different from that of any previous -rear because of all-around e.wellence rather than the sfieeialization. The loss of Rohhins, Melin, and Eghert was severe, because it meant the loss of so many sure points in each meet. lt meant more strain on the remaining szeimmers who were forced to douhle up on erents rather than take jirerious time to rest. The dirin g department was also weak as last yearff star did not return, and a neu' one had to be lahoriously trained. Melaain stepped in at the last minute in treo eases. the Blaek-Foxe Dual meet and the Pasa- dena Chamllzionships, to try for needed points. He suereeded remarkahlj' well. The harkstroke department was rapahly handled hy Box and W'alker Smith. Smith lacked experienre, hut he still has three years in zehirh to derelofz. Getting sueh an early start, he may well surpass the rerords of any of the firerious greats. Box has a hrilliant rerord comin g in the very near future, and Coach is banking on him to heat the sehool rerord in his event. if not this year, rertainly next season. Tom also showed ul: very u'ell in the individual medly.
