...Ulen, like Dick Harlow, is going to have to reply on the efforts of a group of sophomores during the coming aquatic season. Just how capably these men can carry the burden about to be thrust at them in a 13 meet schedule is doubtful for the time being. So far, the second-year group can be judged only by last year's performances, which were made none too striking and by the spirit shown during practice mansions this fall. Time trials have been few.
