The Russians, another inland horde, were choosing not to help their rival horde, were biding the time (maybe many years hence) when they would be the challenging power...

Pete Robinson, Bob Sceery, Tom Godfrey, Walt Downing and Tom Shrewsbury may help out the situation somewhat, but it will take time to bring most of them up to Eastern intercollegiate League standards. IIf none of them make the grade, the jobs may be appropriated by the above-mentioned white or backstroker Dick Harris...
