With a strong nucleus of juniors to build on and several promising sophomores from last year's team, Coach Harold S. Ulen is moulding a powerful swimming team down in the pool at the Indoor Athletic Building. Although cautious Ulen won't say a thing as yet about the all-important Yale meet, the way the team is lining up points to an outfit fully as strong as last years.
John J. Colony, Jr. '37, who is a free-styler, leads the team as captain; but the primary interest will lie in the members of the Junior class, paced by Charlie Hutter, national intercollegiate 100 yard free style champion and a member of Uncle Sam's Olympic team in Berlin last summer. His classmate Graham Cummin is also an intercollegiate champion, having won the backstroke in that meet in record-breaking time. Two other top free-style men from the class of '38 are Donald McCay and Donald Barker.
In his Freshman year Darrio Berizzi created a sensation with his performances in the 440 and 220; last year his performances were very disappointing, but there are hopes that he can get back into his form of two years ago.
Hailing from Sydney, Australia, and like Hutter, in Berlin at the Olympics last summer, is William Kendall '40, whose sensational performances are expected to help turn this year's Freshman team into the best Yardling outfit ever to wear the Crimson. Supporting the Australian ace are several other able swimmers like Henry A. Curwen, Frederick W. Griffen, Enno R. Hobbing, Robert Urquhart and Harry Southwick. These men, under the guidance of Lawrence Peterson, new Freshman coach, face their first meet on December 16, with the Lynn Y. M. C. A. as opposition.
