Before Princeton and Yale are to be worried about, however, the Crimson tankmen must consider the strong challenge Brown will make tomorrow evening to upset the Uien applecart. The Bruin swim team apparently has some of the glant-killing tendencles of its football men and will be correspondingly hard to beat. But Captain Rusty Greenhood's bunch is determined that the finish of tomorrow's meet will find Coach Ulen smlling.

For her fright, Mrs. Smith won ?2,500, assessed against Hall & Pickles and Mr. Cunliffe of Droylsden, since both were found equally responsible for the motor crash. Unless the decision is upset on appeal, the future may well see frightened British bystanders by the hundreds seeking nerve balm after every motor bump in Britain...
