Tripp again stood out as a fast swimmer in the forty-yard dash, beating another State champion. But, once again, R.-M. Afs F-77 gallant, but never disheartened, tankmen were defeated by a score of 24 to 36. l i The following are to be commended for their ultra-fine performance i during the season of l928: Without Bob Stork we are sure that diving would not have been the i success it was this yearg Bill Davis was more of a help to our team than can be expressed, in his swimming of the relay, the forty-yard and hundred-yard dashesg Dan Taylor served as a great help to the team in the two hundred and twenty-yard swimg Raynor, improving all season, was a great help in the two I hundred and twenty swim, toog John T. Carstarphen is to be more than con- l gratulated for his speedy work in the relay and two hundred and twenty-yard swimg Carroll, I-l., showed excellent form and was a much-needed help in the diving, forty-yard back and breast strokeg the success of our relay team was largely due to the excellent work of HE. J. Alderferg his brother, Alderfer, l H., was also of great service to the team in his excellent Work in the diving and forty-yard back strokeg Alva Tripp was our outstanding swimmer and was high-point man-he swam' the forty-yard and hundred-yard and the relay l in fine formg heading the team, Captain Hobbs upheld the breast stroke' in fine style. Although not placing in the first meet, he was not disheartened and came back with a first or second in every meet after that. To him is due a large part of the success of the team, being always there for practice, thus setting an example for the others to follow. We wish to make special mention here of one of our star divers, Lucas Baird, who, due to a serious accident, was unable to be with the team this season. Last, but by far not least, Coach Maben is to be commended for his hard and untiring work with the team in training each individual for his particular event. To Coach Maben the whole team extends their heart-felt appreciation for the unsparing effort expended by him this season. Thefprospects for next year's team are quite brilliant, as all but two y members of this year's team will return to school next fall. E F i H K ml l93l H Q . elllfi t --'lll Q 1

Riding all morning and part of the afternoon' in cars, the team went with determination in their minds to beat Fishburn. But we received the small end of a 44 to I5 score. Our next encounter was with one of the strongest teams in the State- that of Staunton Military Academy. On their team they had two lnterscholastic men who, in their meet with us, set two State records. Here, again, our cadets were defeated, the bad news being 48 to l2. Then we met Augusta Military Academy in the Y pool, at Staunton, Virginia. This meet was a very sensational one in that all events were nearly ties. But our cadets again received a defeat, the score being I8 to 42. ln the last meet of our trip we faced, for the second time, the Washington and Lee University Freshman team, in their pool at the University. By this time our team, being on the go for its fourth day, was nearly worn out. Although confident of winning this meet, our tankers were nosed out again with a score of I8 to 42. Our last meet was with Augusta Military Academy in our home tank. Being our last meet, this brought a very large audience and it is believed that everyone thoroughly enjoyed the event, for it proved to be the most thrilling of the season, due to the now well-trained Mermaids of R.-M.
