Scratch starters dominated the events outside of the mile, 440, and the hurdles. Fred Ulen captured the century in the fair early-season time of 10.3, while favorite Joe Donnelly snagged the furlong...
Curwen is a potent threat to Good's 2; 14 supremacy in the furlong, while Cutler and Powers are all in the running. Big Jim wanted to enter the quarter, too, but the authorities said no because he has not swum it this year. Chet Sagenkahn will enter the dives and should do well if he concentrates on the high-board. Art Bosworth, Bob White, and George Dana of the Crimson team are staying home because of health and studies...
...Tiger captain Dick Hough, however, who provided the feature performance of the evening when he annexed the 200-yard breastroke in 2:22.2, a new world's record. Many of the Yale times were sparkling--Johnny Good's 2:15.2 in the furlong and 53.5 century should give the Crimson mermen something to shoot at.

...lend itself to record-breaking efforts on anyone's part. Bill Runge, of Boston, with wins in the 50 and 100, and a relay leg, was the sturdiest performer of the meet, while Eric Cutler's two victories in the distance events also stood out, particularly his 2:18.2 furlong. All three of Harvard's breast rokers were vastly improved, Mr. Ulen noted with approval...
