Natators Lose Three Veterans Page T wemy-six Hoy Natntors The Southwestern lligh School natators had a very poor season in 1929, when victories are set down against defeats: but from the standpoint of organi- zation, the team ranged with the best in the city. For the first time in many years, the schedule was followed to the letter and the whole team stuck together to the end. This was due to the splendid coaching of .-'Xrehie llogan and to the lighting spirit of Captain bl. ll. Angell. The Prospector splashers will have a veteran squad for next year, and much is expected of them. Those graduating are Captain .-Xngell, l'aul llinger, Anthony Sargenti. and Louis QContinued on page 291
