Bill Daugherty, breastroker, for the Red and Blue, will offer the Crimson butterfliers a good race in the 200 yard event. He has been swimming it under 2:38 this season, somewhat better than the local efforts. Coach Ulen will probably pit Walker and Waldron against him, retaining Max Kraus for the medley...
During the examination period, action along the E. I. L. front was somewhat abated, but several games were played. Yale was shoved further into the league's cellar as a result of a defeat at the hands of the Big Red of Cornell. But more important than this game was the Yale-Dartmouth clash at Hanover in which an inspired band of Elis made things exceedingly not for the favored Big Green, and were only nosed out 34 to 32 by Moose Dudis' last-minute basket...

He maintained a blistering pace and almost lapped the field in the quarter-mile grind. His winning time was 4:59.5, a mark which has not yet been beaten by any of the country's other top collegiate 440 men this year...
