Coach ,Matt Mann,. whose proteges have captured the Big Ten and National Collegiate chain- pionships this year will accompany the swimmers. The Battle Creek exhibition will mark the last appearance of five members of the Varsity team, eN-cap- tain Paul Samson, John 1-alsted, Mau- rice Shorr, Paul Starrett, and Al Mayer are the Wolverine tankien who have completed three years of competition. Samson's loss will be felt the most as he won the 220 and 440 yard freeN style national intercolle- giate titles this season. Halsted was a back stroker cn this year's team. He placed second in the conference championships in 1926, but Spindle andm ubbell, sophomore stars, were the regular back strok- ers this season. Shorr swam in the breast stroke, taki wg fourth in the' Big Ten meet at Urbana. Starrett competed in the fancy diving, being the most consistent performer in that event on the Wolverine squad. Mayer was a member of the water polo team.
