Under NCAA and ECAC rules, women have been allowed to compete in swimming for the past two years, and this season the squad counts seven coeds on its roster of nineteen swimmers. One division of the swim team that is stronger than in past years is its divers, all of whom were women this year. The season's record of two and eight does not indicate the consistency of Trinity's competition against formidable, well-trained rivals, nor do the scores reflect the excellent performances of individual swimmers. All of Trin ity's meets have been much closer than the scores tend to indicate. Trinity defeated Amherst 57-56 and Holy Cross 69-44, while losing to R.P.I. 47-66, . ufts 51-60, Union 54-59, Bowdoin 3674, Coast Guard 44-67, M.I.T. 35-78, W.P.I. 40-73 and Wesleyan 30-81. Letters were awarded to Steven G. Cecil, Barbara L. Clark, James E. Oevery, Theodore F. Eynon, Michael T. O'Brien, Eugene Y. Shen, JoAnn Simons, Ronald M. Williams, and Manager laurie Blair. In addition to winning a letter, Captain Frederick R. Stehle was presented with the John Slowik Most Valuable Swimmer Award. umerals were awarded to James T. Bradt, Barbara E. Hayden, Robert C.
