...winner on Coach Harold Ulen's first Harvard swimming team this year. He swims in the sprint events and had been undefeated in intercollegiate competition until the Yale meet on Wednesday. In that meet he came in third in the 50-yard, swim, second in the 100 and swam anchor on the relay team.

...then led dark-haired Lee Sentman, last year's champion, and Gene Record of Harvard, intercollegiate outdoor champion, in the final. His time of 8.5 sec. took one-tenth of a second off the U.

His teammates were James ("the Rabbit") Healey, Howard ("Schoolboy") Jones, Horace ("Horse") Steele. They had beaten by five seconds (7:30.4) the world record made by an Illinois A. C. team in 1923 when Joie...

Wood '33 in the two shorter free style swims, together with a sprint by Wood as anchor man in the decisive relay race, again gave the Crimson swimmers victory, the sixth successive one in the pool of the Indoor Athletic Building, when they defeated Dartmouth 37 to 25 on Saturday...

The time set, 1 min., 39. sec., betters the former Harvard record mark by 1-5 sec., but compares unfavorably with the mark of 1 min., 34 4-5 sec. set by the Eli relay team in its victory over Princeton on Saturday...
...shorter free style events and G.L. Jorgensen '34 won in the 220-yard free style swim. The Crimson led 28 to 26 at the start of the relay, and Parker failed by only two feet to overcome the lead which the first three Blue swimmers had given their anchor man, Meffert...
