Meeting Dartmouth, Princeton, Columbia, and Yale, and then going to the Easterns on consecutive weeks, the Crimson swimmers definitely were tired, and justifiably so, on Saturday night. I caused defending champion Pete Dillingham to muff his second-last dive in high board competition and finish third behind Navy's Owen Davies and Yale's Ken Welch. It slowed up the Harvard players and added a second to the times of individual medleyist Mary Sandler and sprinter John McNamara, who were eliminated in the trial heats...

David made the trip on the initial invitation of the Bank of Hawaii and the Matson Navigation Company. The former has a fund for the study of economic development problems. Other business men like Walter F. Dillingham '02 urged him to accept the invitation...
Freestyler Dave Hedberg was the big point-gatherer for Ulen's squad, winning the 100-yard sprint and trailing the Elis Don Scheff in the 50. The Crimson scored three firsts during the afternoon. Pete Dillingham found some tough competition in Ken Welch, but he won the three-meter dive anyway, with 122.58 points.
