Brown 38 — Dartmouth 15

Captain Bird's plunge of 76 feet in 52 3/5 seconds brought Dartmouth its only first place in the tank meet with Brown, at Providence, February 22. Short captured second place in this event with a time of 57 seconds. Brown won handily in the 50, 100, and 220 yard dashes, with Jones equalling his record of 57 seconds in the second of these events, and also took the diving contest when Whitehouse won from Weed of Dartmouth. The relay race was a bitter contest from start to finish. Adams, for Brown, gained five feet from Pratt in the first encounter, which Rix managed to cut to two feet. Then Fitzgibbons of Brown and Roberts of Dartmouth raced neck and neck for the length of the tank, leaving the decision to Jones who splashed out a three foot victory over Taylor of Dartmouth. The total point score at the end of the meet was Brown's by the heavy margin of 38 to 15.

Dartmouth 42 — B. U. 11

The Dartmouth Swimming team overwhelmed the Boston University mermen in the Spaulding Pool March 12, by the score of 42-11. Richardson in the two-twenty was the only first place winner for B. U. Roberts of Dartmouth was the high point winner, cap-Turing first in the 50-yard dash, second in the hundred and swimming on the winning relay team. Brown of B. U. placed second in the fifty and third in the hundred. The only other B. U. points were scored by Diehl, who took third in the dive, and by Washburn, who placed third in the plunge.
