Again as state champions, the swimming squad returned another trophy to Hibbing High. The first aquatic meet was held at Eveleth, and the tankers returned home trium- phantly, having upset the Bears, 49 to 24. Success follow- ed the first game when the squad defeated Duluth Central, 48 to 24. Pop Lukens then took his mermen to Ely where the Bluejackets lost to their host, 35 to 38. Swimming against their alumni, the Bluejackets downed their oppon- ents, 46 to 26, and took Hrst in all but one event. Hibbing then played host to Virginia, although the races were close and exciting, the mermen finished victoriously, outscoring the Virginians, 48 to 25. By using his best men sparingly, Coach Lukens' entries easily defeated Chisholm, 45 to 26. The local tankers then won over Ely, 47 to 26, to even up their previous setback by the Timberwolves. In an- other dual meet with Chisholm the Bluestreaks were out- classed, 45 to 28, and again the mermen took first in all but two events. At the University of Minnesota, Hibbing was defeated, 35 to 37, in a very close race by Austin, last year's champions. Clashing with teams from the Range and Duluth, the local boys landed on top with 42 points at the Virginia Invitational Meet. Their closest rival was the Ely squad with a score of 29 points.
