Captain Richard R. Hough, of Princeton, warmed up for his race tomorrow by swimming the fastest 100 yards breastroke ever swum by man. He did the century in 59.9 in an exhibition swim which was not accepted as a world's record because the authorities in New Haven had not been notified the prescribed three days in advance.

This bath, built in the days when the trudgeon was man's fastest way of cleaving the waters, is not designed for modern intercollegiate swimming as most any Princeton man will readily admit.
