Swimming
The other winter sports here are in such early stages that nothing is definitely known about them. Sid Hazelton has been working a large swimming squad daily, which seems to have fair prospects. With men such as Capt. Bryant, who holds national intercollegiate records in the dashes, McCaw, a four- year veteran in the back stroke, and Birnie, a fine man in the 440-yard event, Dartmouth should be able to stand up against any oppoment in the East in several events.
There is also a possibility that Karl Michael, called by authorities the finest college diver in the United States in 1926, will return to the fold to compete again this year. Michael is also leader of the Championship Glee Club, and he has been having a mental struggle within himself this Fall between his two loves. At best he may compete in each of the home meets. His understudy has been Bob Leigh, who is also a fine diver.
In conjunction with the swimming meets, Coach Delehanty will send a water polo team against his league opponents. The team this year is captained by Harry Enders '29, who was also an assistant freshman football coach during the fall.
Only meagre reports have come from the others sports: boxing, fencing, gym and track. Harry Hillman has another fine track team under his wing, but inasmuch as they do not have a meet before the next sports column appears in this magazine, it will be treated at length later.
December is always the "in between" month of the year, and during these dull days we can only look back upon the late football season and talk about the future of the winter sports teams. In other words the only activ- ity in the sporting line is furnished by the typewriters of the experts.

Football letters were awarded to 28 men this year, an unprecedented number. This was due to the fact that so many players were forced to the sidelines on account of injuries. The complete list of letter men is as follows: Backfield: Capt. Black, Sutton, Johnson, Marsters, Reece, Clark, Wolff, Breithut, Lee, McDonough, Harris and Longnecker. Ends: Swarthout, Booma, Bankart, Mclnnes, Magee and Stokes. Tackles: Cole, Armstrong and O'Connor. Guards: Sherman, Lyle, Crehan, Bromberg and Ferrini. Centers: Andres and Poehler. Of these men the following graduate: Black,lßeece, Breithut, Harris, Bankart, Sherman, Lyle and Ferrini. Two men who won their letters two years ago but failed this year were Jeremiah and Snider. The latter graduates.
