...climaxes that left Crimson spectators almost as spent as the competitors. Every event except the 220, won by Eric Cutler with Frannie Powers at his heels, and the 400 relay which was won by Harvard after the fate of the meet had been decided, ended up with a nerveracking finish. The sad part of it all was that in most of the last lap surges Crimson tankmen were bettered...
...with the odds in favor of Brown's Wilcox. But last year's Freshman captain proved himself a fine competitor as he outswam Wilcox to take first place. In the 200 breastroke, Jack Waldron, rated No. 2 Harvard swimmer in that event, dug his way past Max Kraus to finish third, but the pluckiest race of the evening was swum by Frannie Powers against George Gibbons of Brown...

Dartmouth may find a much higher spot in League rankings if Julian Armstrong, a sophomore who has turned in 23.5 in the 50 and 52.4 in the 100, can escape the Dartmouth equivalent of probation. Only one League meet has been held--Columbia's 46-29 win over Penn...
