HARD CONTEST FOR SWIMMERS

The University swimming team will have its first real test of the season when it competes with the Cornell University team at the Boston Young Men's Christian Association tank tonight at 8 o'clock. At the same time the Freshman swimmers will meet the Mechanic Arts High School team, and in this contest also there will be very close races. The prices of admission will be 25 and 50 cents. Tickets may be obtained at the H. A. A. Office, Leavitt & Peirce's or at the door tonight.

Last year Cornell defeated the University by a narrow margin, and Harvard faces an equally strong team tonight. The records of the Cornell relay quartet have been especially good, and through their performance in this department the Ithacans hope to carry off the final honors.

The Freshman team, by its record so far this season, has demonstrated its ability in all events, having lost only two meets. This is the final Freshman meet on the schedule, and it is expected that the season will be closed with a victory. The usual events of long and short distance swims, diving, plunge for distance, and relay races have been arranged for both University and Freshman contests.

The University men entered are as follows: R. M. Benjamin '17, A. Dixon, 3d., '16, B. M. Fullerton '16, captain, K. F. Jackson '17, W. T. Jenney '17, F. Machado '17, W. L. Monro '16, J. W. D. Seymour '17, H. Wentworth '17. The Cornell entries are: Allman, Eisele, Fielding, Fowler, Hummel, Jones, Zimm.

The Freshman swimming team is composed of M. Blanchard, F. W. Ecker, A. S. Francis, N. V. Nelson, T. T. Seelye, captain, and W. S. Whiting.
