ANDRE KOSTELANETZ Swimmers flown Southsirle 3&3? By the narrow margin of one point, the Tech Mei-men submerged South Side, 38377, a week ago yes— terday at tho opponent’s tank. Their second victory 01' the season, both taken in like manner, the meet was clinched with the 120 yard medley. With Winblad swimming the buck stroke of the medley, the South Sid- ers succumbed to an early lead and were beaten by almost half a length. Opening the meet, the South Side swimmers won the 160 yard relay in the time of 1223.8. Dodge then went out to even up the score by winning the 220 yard free in 2:43.3. Vic Svagdis put Armour in the lead with brilliant swimming in the 100 yard breast stroke with the time of 1 :21.2. Hutchins of Armour was second. The home squad came back with F‘ecley barely nosing out Pettes to win the 40 yard free. Winblzid ably filled up the vacancy in the back stroke division by carrying off first place in the 100 yard event. Hur- ricd by his team mate, Svug'dis, he finished in the nice time of 110.6. With the score of 28—20 in favor of Armour, Feeley and Hanavun of South Side cut down the load by placing first and third respectively in the 100 yard 1'roo style with cap~ tain Dodge placing second. The South Side divers then took advan- tage of the only noticeable weakness on the Armour squad, and captured both first and second in that event. This put the home, iiatntors in the lead by two points, but the Techawk tanksters went ahead to win the meet with the medley.

Their meet is scheduled for Saturday afternoon. Despite the fact that DePauv.v is in intercollegiate competition and swims the regulation intercollegiate distances and events, Armour has al- ways showed up well, losing last year‘s; meet by a matter of a few points, and winning the contest of the previous year. DePauw is one 01' the oldest colleges in the middle west, and has a coeducational student body of 1200. Placed about twenty miles west of Indianapolis. Grecn~ castle is a typical small college town. While the meet is scheduled for the fifth of February, the team expects to leave the Friday night of the week—end and swim at three o’clock Saturday afternoon. As all of the squad are studious fellows, they will probably read a little Economics Sat~ urday night. After this Sunday morning, the team will head for home. This trip is one of the two scheduled traveling meets, the other being in March with K. Y. F. of Ken- osha.
