ming competition gets underway
tomorrow afternoon at 2 o’clock
when the mermen from Oregon
State college begin splashing
against fast stroking Webfoots in
the first nine-event water program
since 1942.
Duck Coach 'Vaughn Corley is
still undecided about the chances
of his tankmen in the first of the
home-and-home swimming meets.
Members of the team have shown
steady improvement since begin
ning workouts at the start of win
ter term.
Strength of the 20-man Beaver

and Cub Callis, free-style sprinter,
.form the nucleus of the 1946 edi
tion of tank men. Backing up the
two lettermen are frosh sprinter'
Hal Sundlie, speedy dash man, Bob
Hiatt, and others that Coach Cor
ley is banking on to splash out a
win ever Oregon State.
Other possible contestants for
