BULLETIN!
LEWISTOWN, Pa., Mar. 12.
—Bobby Cowell, sensational
Penn State backstroker, left
here late tonight for New
Brunswick, where he will en
ter the Eastern Intercollegiate

During spring vacation, the
freshman sensation was warned
by doctors to remain out of the
Eastern meets to prevent a serious
relapse in his condition, but Lion
Coach Bob Galbraith was hopeful
that the unbeaten merman would
be able to make the trip.
In the past few days, Cowell’s
illness has become gradually
worse, until local doctors advised
him to remain out of the tourney.
Last night the Nittany tanker
was resting, attempting to recover
for the National Intercollegiates
scheduled for Columbus, Ohio, on
March 27. Cowell said that he had
received a bid for the Harvard
Invitation Meet, but turned it
down due to his physical status.
Only a few weeks ago, Cowell
was accepted for admission to the
U. S. Naval Academy at Annapo
lis, and will leave Penn State for
his midshipman’s training in early
June.
Rocky Young, Bill Christy, and.
Don Knoll are the Lion entries in
today’s tourney, and are favored
to cop several high places in the
rankings. Young offers stiff com
petition to Ralph Buratti for the
diving title, while Knoll should
place second in the distance free
style races.
