the star swimmers come into ac
tion in this meet. The conference
records ia swimming, because of
its relative newness as an inter
collegiate sport, are not very low
yet and nearly every <>'• of thorn
is scheduled to be lowered. Texas
University, from dual meets held
already this session, ia favored to
easily take tho meet while the
fight for second place should be
almost a deadlock between S M U
and the Aggies.
Of special interest will be the
400 yard free style race between
Chappell of S M U snd Alton of
Texas. Both men have been steadi
ly beating the exjsting conference
record and they swim the 400 free
style in nearly the same time. W.
S. Sinclair of A and M is probably
the only Aggie who will likoly cop
a first place but Coach Leonard
Nachmaa is relying on soooad plac
es to give the Cadets a high stand
ing in the meet Dupree of the
Longhorns is s sure shot to clip
time from tho record in the back
stroke while the relay team from
each school has been consistently
swimming under th# conference
record.
Admission for tho meet will be
fifteen cents for students and
twenty-five cents for others.
