Probably 30 men of the present somewhat cumbersome squad have shown definite possibilities. At the top of the list, not only because he is captain of the team but for his superior performances, is Eric Cutler, lanky 220 and 440 free-style expert who was undefeated last season in the latter event and who placed second to Ohio State's Stanhope in the N.C.A.A. 1500-meter final last spring.

During his first year in the pool Art negotiated the 50 in very close to 24 seconds flat, and while his backstroke 100's which at one time approached the 1:02 mark are valuable, his sprinting ability will probably be more in demand this season...

The greater demands of the Civil War material in range and stamina and subtlety unquestionably deepened and instructed him still further...
Potential material for the distance free style events are Bus Curwen, who prepped at Exeter, and Frank German, from Cleveland. Bob Stires also shapes up as a good distance swimmer but he seems versatile enough to serve as a general utility...
