Adolf Kiefer has the world's 150 back stroke record at 1;32.7. Graham Cummin '38 set the Crimson mark at 1:37.3; Art Bosworth is capable of under 1:40. Anything under 1:45 is considered good; while anything under 1:40 is excellent. Princeton's Dick Hough last year set a world's mark in the 200 breastroke at 2:22, while the Crimson best is Greg Jameson's 2:25.4. 2:32 and under is excellent; under 2;40 is considered adequate...

...Waldron has been showing steady improvement in the breastroke and has a good chance to carry off the butterfly event in tomorrow's meet at Annapolis. George Dana and Chet Hagenkahn will need to be at their beat to outpoint Harvard Ficher in the dive, but Art Bosworth should annex the 150-yard backstroke with little effort. Dick Harris may give Midshipman Jack Jacques a good battle for second place...
