ATHLETICS.

Swimming.

C. C. N. Y., 11; Pennsylvania, 42.

Philadelphia, Penn., February 26 C. C. N. Y. opened it's intercollegiate swimming season here to-night in a dual meet with Pennsylvania. The competition was a

great deal stronger than the score in points would indicate, Captain Stern just falling short of capturing both the 50 and 220-yard swims. The fancy diving was a very interesting contest, in which Merryman, although somewhat bothered by nervousness, did some very neat work. C. C. N. Y. was clearly outclassed both in the play for distance and in water polo. Mosseson, who took third place in the former, did only 45 feet as against 641⁄2 feet by the winner. Pennsylvania also won the water polo rather easily, the score being 5-0. From the showing made C. C. N. Y.

ought to defeat

Columbia next week, that institution having been beaten by Pennsylvania recently by a score of 48-5.

The summaries:

50-yard swim-Rothchild, Penn.; Stern, C. C. N. Y.;' Edmans, C. C. N. Y. Time, 28 s.

100-yard swim-Sylvester, Penn.; Anthony, Penn.; Becker, C. C. N. Y. Time, I m. 4 s.

220-yard swim-Shryock, Penn.; Stern, C. C. N. Y.; Bischoff, C. C. N. Y. Time, 3 m. 19 s.

Fancy Diving Dalrymple, Penn. (61 points); Hans, Penn. (60% points; Merryman, C. C. N. Y. (58 points).

Plunge for Distance -Jerry, Penn. (64 ft. 6 in.); Hans, Penn. (61 ft.); Mosseson, C. C. N. Y. (45 ft.).

Water Polo Won by Penn., 5-0. C. C. N. Y. team consisted of Jacobins, Mosseson, Mr yman, Voss, Thomas, Bis hoff, Lyman and Pecker.

Basket Ball Notes.

In point of the number games won and lost, C. C. N. Y. stands fourth in the list of eastern basket ball teams. Columbia is first with twelve won and none lost; N. Y. U. stands second with ten won and none lost; West Point third, with a record of eight won and three lost and C. C. N. Y. is fourth with seven won and three lost. But, say the papers, in point of merit, C. C. N. Y. stands second, for both N. Y. U. and West Point played only easy teams, while the college played the best teams of the East.

Our esteemed sister institution, New York University, having won every one of its schedule of ten games with such peerless teams as Union, St. Lawrence and Niagara, has been loudly laying claim to the eastern basket ball championship. In order to "call their bluff," Manager Kleinbaum challenged them, in behalf of C. C. N. Y., to a single game or to a series of games. Did N. Y. U. promptly accept? Certainly not. 'Our faculty would never consent" were the gladsome tidings. But the funny part of it is that they never even asked the faculty whether they would or not.

C. C. N. Y. has entered a lower division at the Pennsylvania Relay Games. Our relay has a better chance in competition with colleges our equals in strength in track athletics, such as Franklin and Marshal, Pratt, Stevens, University of Maryland and St. Johns. With Captain Coyle, Groginsky, Dolan, Starbuck and Richter running, the team ought to bring home another banner for the gym. In addition, each man on a winning team gets a gold watch, while those on the teams coming second and third receive silver cups.

Next Friday night our swimming team will line-up against Columbia. Columbia has a weak team this year and our squad is confident of their ability to make up for the Columbia basket ball score. On the following night (Saturday) the College swims Harvard at the Sportsman's Show.
