THE WIMMI TEAM Loyola was represented this season by one of the most spirited, if not one of the most successful swimming teams, in its history. Coach Alex Wilsoll, in his fifth year as tank instructor, whipped a small inexperienced squad into good enough shape to maintain a .500 won and lost average. Bill Spoeri, who performed on the crack aggregations of former years, was elected captain at the start of the sea- son. He, together with Mortimer Joyce, Ken Kruckstein and Bob White, swam in the free style sprints. Marty Oishaughnessy and Bob Evenson splashed in the distance crawl. The hreastroke was handled by AI Burke and Chuck Jasiel. Everett Ross and O'Shaughnessy worked William Spovri can-rar N The results of the season are as follows: Milwaukee State Teachers' paddled to victory on in the backstroke. with Ross also doing the diving. a Hood-tide, 53-13.

THE GULF TEAM Golf is another sport that cannot be covered in the LOYOLAN because of its late start. Most of the book has been compiled before the team gets its first chance on the fairways and greens. This year the Loyola squad has found itself lacking in time for practice and also has the problem of replacing almost the entire team of last year which was lost through graduation. Composing the team this year will be three men from the Medical School and one man from the Arts campus. Representing the pill-tossers department of the Univer- sity will be Ray Grunt, a veteran of last yearls campaigns, and two newcomers to varsity golf at Loyola-Bill Lee- , mach and Ted Henz. The captain of the team, Joe Lynch, is the lone Arts campus man on the regular squad. However, be is backed by two alternates from the Rogers Park division of the University-George Kane and Bob lVliller. During the practice rounds the team showed very well and with two members, Lynch and Renz, shooting in the high seventies they can be expected to pull down their share of the vic- tories Lnyola has specialized in this year. The schedule for this year will include home and liome arrangenients with Marquette and St. Ambrose and home meets with Wayne University of Detroit and the Armour Tech squad of Chicago. Out of town meets only will be played with Vlfestern State Teachers College of Kalamazoo and St. Louis University. The increasing interest of the students in all departments of the University augurs well for the future of golf at Loyola. Twenty candidates from all parts of the school turned out. 269 GOLFSTERS.

E I TEAM l Hopes for a successful 1937 season for Loyola's ten- nis team have been brightened considerably with the addi- tion of one of the nation's ranking tennis coaches. George O'Connell, to the Loyola stall. lVIr. O'Connell has merited national recognition, first as a player and then as a coach, and already has proved to be an invaluable asset to the team. The tennis season started early this year with the added facilities of indoor courts offered by lVlr. O'Con- nell. first call for candidates was issued in the middle of February. Only two veterans returned from last year's team, m,,mX ' Tibor Beresky. who was elected captaing and Don Swaf- ford, who has acted as manager, scheduling all the meets and taking care of the other tasks that are placed upon a manager. However, capable replacements have been found in Gene Dubay, captain of Loyola Aeademy's team last year, and in Bill Lynch, Len Kaplan. Norb Hruby and Bill Janik, all of whom have progressed exceedingly well under lVlr. O'Connell's tutelage. Loyola's first match was a practice match played against Armour Tech at the 108th En- gineers armory on April 13. Loyola must have been well up in their practicing for they admin- istered an 8 to 0 drubbing to the helpless Engineers. For their first match away from home, the Ramblers journeyed to Naperville to meet North Central College but received a heartbreaking 4 to 3 setback. Beresky, Dubay, and Jauik gave Loyola an advantage in the singles, but this lead was erased by two defeats in the doubles matches that followed. 267 TENNIS TEAM. H l'ul by, Lynch, Sivrks.
