Word was also received from Westminster Coach Joe Ferris that his Titan tankmen will be able to swim against the Galbraithmen on the afternoon of February 6, 'in stead of in the evening. Previous ly, Westminster asked that the meet be held in the evening as they planned to make the trip by train and bus. In a letter to' Coach Galbraith yesterday, Ferris stated that West minster now has arranged for the team’s transportation by automo bile and will save enough time by that change to swim against the State mermen in the afternoon. Preparing for the tilt, most of the Lion swimmers are busy prac ticing daily. The meet is still over a week away and the squad should be in much better form for the Westminster duel than they were against Carnegie Tech. Latest reports state that the Titan splashing squad turned out this year by Coach Ferris is tops and will cause State trouble.
