The University swimming team will leave today on the 1.05 train for New York, where they have two meets scheduled, one with Columbia this evening at 8 o'clock and one with the College of the City of New York on Monday night at the same hour. The men will stop at the Hotel Vanderbilt while in New York, and will return in time for classes on Tuesday.
The team has been showing great improvement lately, and should do creditable work in both contests. Captain B. M. Fullerton '16 and H. Wentworth '17 have been the most consistent point-winners for the University. Columbia has a strong team as usual, which while it lost to Yale last Saturday, defeated Princeton 35 to 18 early this week. Vollmer is probably the best of the Columbia men, being very fast at almost any distance. C. C. N. Y. will not be as dangerous an opponent, and the University will probably have a shade the better of the Monday contest.
The following men will take the trip: Captain B. M. Fullerton '16, R. M. Benjamin '17, A. Dixon, 3rd, '16, K. F. Jackson '17, W. T. Jenney '17, W. B. Monro '16, J. W. Seymour '17, and H. Wentworth '17. Coach Matthew Mann and managers T. M. Sloane '15 and R. A. Whiting '16 will accompany the team.
