...When a coach inherits a bunch of Sophomores lacking in outstanding ability local sportswriters generally conclude their remarks about the squad with the ancient blurb, "--but the spirit is fine!" It is the choice of this writer to start, rather than conclude, his remarks with the blurb, for if what is called 'spirit' now can be translated into hard training for the duration of the season, then something tangible will have been achieved in the way of improvement. This, Coach Ulen will tell you, comes only from practice of the most strenuous sort...
...Coach Wes Fesler has made one change in the lineup since the M.I.T. game, adding Homer Peabody, six foot two center, to the list of starters in order to give some needed height to his midget team...
Last year at this time Coach Harold Sylvadore Ulen of the Varsity swimming squad was bemoaning the loss by graduation of the greatest team in Harvard aquatic history--the 1938 League Champions who in many ways rated the title of "the best dual meet team in the country." This year Hal's problem is different, for of last season's tankmen only Captain Rusty Greenhood, Harley Stowell, and Phil Walker have departed with the Class of '39. What he has left is a nucleus of experienced Seniors and Juniors, and a horde of Sophomores who make up in spirit...
Cutler has been described as the most genuine and inspiring leader of Crimson tank forces in several years, while it can truthfully be said that not for a long time has such a real harmony of interests existed between captain and coach as it has this season.

Arthur Bosworth, who was captain of his Freshman team and who has been first Varsity backstroker ever since, will compete almost exclusively in the free-style sprint races this year, thereby fulfilling Coach Ulen's need for a fast sprinter and his own desire to swim on his face for a while. During his first year in the pool Art negotiated the 50 in very close to 24 seconds flat, and while his backstroke 100's which at one time approached the 1:02 mark are valuable, his sprinting ability will probably be more in demand this season...
