VARSITY NATATRS
VICTORS 43 TO 33
Hubbard and Hyde Star for Winners;
Nixon, McNulty, Bowen and
Kearns for Freshmen
WINNER HARD TO PICK IN
220 YARD FREE STYLE RACE
Varsity swimmers yesterday re-
deemed the honor of their team lost
to the freshmen last year when they
defeated the yearling squad in the
annual dual meet by a score of 43 to
33. Individual stars would be a hard
thing to pick, but Hubbard and Hyde
were probably a trifle more luminous
than the others on the Varsity squad,
while Nixon, McNulty, Bowen and
Kearns slightly outshone their fresh-
man teammates.
Nixon Beats Hubbard
Most brilliant of the races was the
220 yard free style, which was won by
Captain Nixon of the first year team
by the smallest part of a fifth of a
second over Hubbard of the Varsity.
It was barely possible to pick the win-
ner at the finish, so closely were the
contestants matched. Hubbard had
held the lead well through the race
when Nixon overhauled him on the
home stretch, the two alternating in
first place to the very finish where
Nixon was a hair's breadth ahead of
his opponent. The winner's time was
remarkably fast when the size of the
tank and the fact that four men were
swimming the race where there was
room for only three are considered.
He was caught at 2 minutes, 42 sec-
onds. '.
Hubbard' win in the 440 was with-
out much competition and his revenge
over Nixon for the latter's victory in
the 220 was complete. The Varsity
star's time, however, was rather slow.
Kearns, '24, coasted the length of the
pool for a win, in the plunge for dist-
ance. Had Yerkes, of the Varsity,
been able to remain under water for
a longer period it is quite likely that
he might have been the victor. He
moved through 55 feet of water in a
bit under 20 seconds and was still go-
ing strong when he same to the top.
McNulty Wins 40 Yard
Another freshman win came in the
40 yard event when McNulty nosed
out Captain Gilmore and Smith in the
closest sort of a race. Hyde's two
firsts were in the 100 yard free style
and the 150 yard back stroke, while
Bowen, of the freshmen, surprised with
a victory over Hanson in the 200 yard
breast stroke.
The Varsity relay team cornered
their event without much difficulty,
but the time was a disappointment to
Coach Drulard. It must be improved
upon before many victories can be ex-
pected in competition. The results:

Is Willie Hoppe
the 1 Exception
(By George Reindel)
For any human to attain perfection
in any walk of life is universally and
rightly considered an impossibility.
But so closely has Willie Hoppe ap-
proached the line of the infallible in
the game of billiards, that he above
any other man may be justly consid-
ered the one human exception which
proves the rule. This master, sur-
passing in his sport without any
doubt all other champions in all other
sports, is the recognized genius and
king of kings today living.
Inspires Admiration
Hoppe is the type of champion who
has the respect and admiration of the
entire sport loving world. Nor is this
the respect which is simply aroused
and due a most accomplished sports-
man. It is rather a recognition by
the public of the sterling character
and true gentlemanly moral fibre of
the champion. This coupled with his
uncanny ability has rightly and In-
evitably earned for him the position
of the world's most popular champion.
Hoppe is a rea gentleman in every
sense of the word. His habits and ac-
tions become the conduct of one so
judged. His perfect selfrcontrol Is an
outstanding quality. Perhaps it alone
has contributed more to making him
the world's greatest billiard player
than any other quality.
Self Control Necessary
Nor is it hard to understand why
this characteristic should be most
necessary in a game such as bil-
liards. Realizing that for this pur-
pose steady nerves are an absolute
and prime requisite, Hoppe has ab-
stained from smoking and drinking or
the use of any stimulants. Nor has
anyone, it is said, ever heard him
lose his temper or swear. Not that
Hoppe is not a real man, more right-
ly is he the truest type of man be-
cause he has realized that in his
sport self control is necessary and he
has consequently had the moral pow-
er to abstain from anything which
would tend to unsteady his nerves.
CORRIDOR LIGHTING IN
LIBRARY BEING CHANGED
Finding the lighting system in the
main corridor of the Library to be un-
satisfactory, a new indirect lighting
system is being installed.
8 GAMES PLAYED
BY FRATERNITIES
The following are the results of the
games played Tuesday night in the
fraternity basketball tournament:
Theta Chi defeated Zeta Beta Tau 23
to 4; Beta Sigma Delta beat Chi Psi
19 to 17; Phi Sigma Delta overcame
Delta Sigma Phi 16 to 10; Phi Gamma
Delta defeated Delta Tau Delta 10 to
9; Sigma Alpha Epsilon set down Sin-
fonia 21 to 19; Phi Delta Theta beat Psi
Upsilon 22 to 12; Phi Chi defeated Al-
pha Delta Phi 13 to 1; Phylon fell be-
fore Theta Delta Chi 8 to 3.
Though the score would seem to
disprove it, one of the most closely
fought games of the evening was the
battle between Phi Chi and Alpha Del-
ta Phi which Phi Chi won 13 to 1. Up
to the last six minutes of the game
the score stood 3 to 1 in Phi Chi's fav-
or. Then Phi Chi had extremely good
luck in finding the cage and shot five
baskets in quick succession. Splendid
guarding by both teams was the main
feature of the game. Comparing the
work of Phi Chi with the speed shown
by the other fraternities represented,
the chances of Phi Chi winning the
tourney seem good. With their of-
fence as strong as their defence they
will prove among the best in the
league.
Another close game was fought
