DARTMOUTH SWIMMERS TAKE SECOND PLACE AT BOSTON

The Green swimming team concluded the first year of the water sport at Dartmouth by taking second place in the New England intercollegiate championships held in the Boston Y. M. C. A. pool March 19. Tech took first with 19 points, Dartmouth was second with 12, nosing out Wesleyan by one point. Amherst with 6, Brown with 5, and Boston University with 2 were next in line.

The plunging of Capt. Bird and Short of Dartmouth was the feature of the meet. On his first attempt Capt. Bird hit the end of the pool in exactly one minute, but on his second try he did it in 51 1/5 seconds, breaking the Boston Y. M. C. A. tank record, made last year by Olmstead of Williams, by 4 seconds. Short missed the end of the tank by a foot on his first plunge but came back on his second, doing the 75 feet in 581/5 seconds, easily taking second place. Capt. Williams of Wesleyan was the high scorer, taking first in the hundred and second in the fifty. In the hundred he barely won out from Taylor of Dartmouth, who pressed him the whole distance. Roberts gathered Dartmouth's other points by taking fourth in this race.
