"This drop is not due to any inferiority in the swimming of the men now on the team," Ratcliff said. "All of the boys are very good and I am well pleased with theni. The trouble is due to the fact that they are only nine men carrying the load of 15. "There is no reason for this situation since there are enough capable swimmers on the campus who could aid the overloaded mem bers of the team. There are at least four good swimmers who were on the team last year and who could make themselves avail able. I would go so far as to say that we have more good swimmers here than we now have men on the team." The members of this season's swimming team are Jimmy Smith, B. Rhame, Doc Lamb, Pat Mc Kinsey, Nick Koluch, Perry Daw son, Preston Darby, Dick Dunham, and Pete Wardlaw. Carolina has lost to Emory, 61 12, and Clemson, 57-18.
