If it would be at all possible I fii-mly believe that such an undertaking would do much to­ wards the furthering of athletic variety. It would afford ample room for more students to show their athletic prowess in something else besides the more pub­ licized sports. I've talked this over with a PHONE 3-0678 60I N.NIUES number of the fellows from our hall, and for Reservations they seem to hold the same hope for the forming of such a squad. In all probability a number of setbacks would be suffered; however once the University's interest in such an endeavor were published I believe a number of fine swimmers interested in Notre Dame, but also interested in swimming, would find their way to Notre Dame.
