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. He cracked Jim Skinner's Exeter and world's record of 1:02.1, and the accepted national mark of 1:02.7 made by Jack Kasley, of Michigan. Hough was paced by a pair of Yale breastrokers...

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...

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...
