Hal Ulen will open Harvard's intercollegiate swimming season this evening at 8.15 o'clock when he pits his Varsity against the Greenwood Memorial Club of Gardner. Last year the Ulenmen defeated Greenwood 51 to 24, and the score is expected to be similarly topheavy tonight.

Nevertheless, some close races ought to materialize from tonight's competition at the Indoor Athletic Building, particularly in the breastroke and in the dive. Captain Stan Glinski, of Greenwood, nosed out Jack Waldron and Phil Walker '39 last year with a 2:42.7 clocking for the 200 breastroke, but Crimson breastrokers have improved since then, particularly Waldron and Max Kraus. The former was swimming the 200 under 2:40 toward the end of last season. Glinski turned in a 1:12 100 in a recent meet.

Kelley Again1

Gardnerite Bernie Kelley will strive against Harvard divers for the third time. Two years ago he defeated Rusty Greenhood, but lost last year, while at the same time defeating Chet Sagenkahn. Tonight he faces George Dana and Sagenkahn, both of whom should tally between 100 and 110 points which may or may not be enough to top Kelley, who recently scored only 78 points in a meet against a Roxbury boys' club.

Unfortunately, not much can be said for the remainder of the Greenwood team, particularly in the free-style departments. Accordingly, Coach Ulen is expected to shift his men around considerably. He will try to enter as many of the squad's inexperienced men as possible, and will test his veterans in events to which they have not been accustomed.

Hewitt vs. Stowell

Captain Eric Cutler may withdraw from the 440 and concentrate on one or two free-style 100's, leaving Lonnie Stowell and Ed Hewitt to battle it out in the quarter. Hewitt, who is this year's PBK man on the team, has been reported to be under 5:20, while Stowell is a converted sprinter who has been making quite satisfactory progress in the longer distances. The race should be hotly contested since the No. 2 440 berth will be at stake.

Art Bosworth may add to his jack-of-all-trades reputation by competing in the furlong. He has swum in five events while at Harvard: 50, the 100, and 150 backstroke, and the 50 and 100 free-style. Ulen, who is timing practically everyone in a variety of events because of the advent Saturday or the critical Dartmouth meet (away), will observe Bossio's performance carefully as well as those of the men he enters in the sprint races.

Powers Will Sprint

Frannie Powers, fresh from the Florida sunshine, is expected to try the sprint events tonight. He is reported to have caused much anxiety among lifeguards around Miami because of his long training swims seaward during which he was frequently mistaken for a sailfish by the fishing ernisers which abound in those waters.
