Fifty men responded to the first call for candidates for the University and Freshman swimming teams yesterday afternoon and evening. As most of these were candidates for the University team, more 1919 swimmers are needed. Freshmen are particularly wanted in the 50, 100, and 220-yard dashes, as well as the plunging and diving departments, and all new men should report at the Cambridge Y. M. C. A. tank this afternoon between 3 and 5 o'clock.

Regular practice begins today, the sprinters having the use of the tank from 3 to 5 o'clock and the plungers and divers from 5 to 5.30 o'clock. Next week the squad will be cut down to practically a minimum and the men then retained will receive instruction either individually or in small groups.
