An exceptionally strong Yardling team stroked its way to a 55-17 victory over Gardner High in the opening meet of the high school season in the Greenwood Memorial pool Saturday afternoon.
Three Sophomores are fighting it out in the 115 field. Leading contender is Bill Siegel, who was undefeated as a Yardling and whose strong punches won him victory in the Tech match this year. Behind Siegel but coming fast are Henry Chatfield and victor Gatto.
Easily the outstanding 145-pounder is Dwight Ellis '38. Ellis was Yardling captain two years ago and a regular last year. A fast, clever boxer, he is undefeated in dual meets.
Jim Kostrellos '37 leads the 125-pounders with a record of but one defeat in Varsity competition. Undefeated as a Yardling mittman, Kostrellos boxed in the 115-pound rank two years ago. Bill Garrett is another 125 man but lacks the experience of his competitor.
Working out daily in the Common-wealth Armory are Winmill and Francis S. Von Stade '38, of last year's team Adrian H. Malone '37, and Fred Ayer, Jr. '37, members of the Junior Varsity squad Benjamin F. Dillingham '39, and William S. Rowe '39 of the Yardling squad.
