Three men, Captain Arnie Blume, Thur- ber Stowell, and Bill Powers, will be loot to the Techawko due to graduation, and it is felt that, al— though these men produced for MoGillivr-ay in winning Ways, their vacancies; can be replaced. Wear-son flock Whitney Pearson, who as a freshman led the ’I‘echawks to a brilliant oeaeon, has given the signal that he will be back wear- ing the Gray and Scarlet. Pearson is a free. otylor of no mean ability, and can easily do a fast hundred. With the exception of Blumo, sprint end relay man, and Powers, 220 marl, the free style division will remain virtually the some. At present, the only dark: cloud looming on the horizon of. the Tech swimmers is the possibility that Larry Radcmacher may leave school in preference for work. Ra- (iemaohcr has Supplied the team not only with his ability to swim, but also with his undying spirit to win. His: lose. will be. felt keenly by the team. ill-mat Stroke emu Strong); All other departments; are ezo pected to be as strong if not stronger than was this. season, barring ourlden accident and draft possibilities. The back. stroke oeo tion, headed by captalmeloct lilarle liuxhold, will boost of Iliuxhold, ’l‘alcott, and Wahlgren. Karl K003 will again lead the breaot otrokcro, and next year it should be tops if Karl regains; his pro-season health. Versaa-tlle Dick Talcott may fill the vacancy left by Eitowell. For the first time in many, porn hops; countless years;, the McGllllw rziymen will boast of a near top~ notch diving department. Two sophomore co-ops dominate the board. Jack Tregay, on Oak Park product, and Bill Condom, a Crane Tech lad, have been fighting it out tooth and null. for honors in this field. Together, they have taken more firsts and seconds againot really good competition than any other divero in Tech’s hiotory. Mallklllll Another Dodge lo the free style division, Illi» nois Tech can boast of a well bal- anced contingent. The probable li'ne~up will read something like this: Pearson in the dashes and relay; Rademacher in the dashes and relay; Talcott in the relay; Taylor in the hundred and relay; Mankus in the hundred, 220, and relay; Gage in the 220. If Manitus keeps up his present rate of im’ provement, he will soon surpass Ray Dodge’s iron horse ability in the distance events. Taken all in all, next season’s Swimming team should be as well bolanced a team as has ever taken a dive and stroke in Bartlett pool. The medley relay team of Hux- hold, K008, and Pearson should, be invincible and record breaking. However. not only should the med» icy team prove undetectable, but the whole team should experience a winning season.
