SWIMMERS FINISH THIRD

The swimming team finished in a third place tie with Navy in the Eastern Intercollegiate League after losses to Yale, Princeton and, very unexpectedly, Harvard. Princeton beat the Indian swimmers 52-23 two days after the losers had swamped Army 51-24. The Columbia meet was a runaway as Coach Fred Worthen's team won by a score of 57-18. Paul Lux broke the freshman 200-yard breast stroke record with a time of 2:39.8. In a non-league meet with Springfield Bill Rolph's victory in the 440-yard freestyle clinched a 38-37 win for the Indians. Harvard upset the Big Green two nights later, 40-31 in the first victory a major Crimson team has had over Dartmouth during the 1942-43 season. Still ahead of the swimmers are the Eastern Intercollegiates to be held at Cambridge. The team has a good chance to place high in these since the champion Yale team will not be present due to its new war-time athletic policy.

With Coach Red Hoehn in the Marines, the squash team was guided by Tom Dent this winter, but lost both of its meets by 5-0 scores. Yale and Harvard were the opponents, and in the Intercollegiates at New Haven, Penn Frost and Warren Sullivan, the Dartmouth representatives, went out in the first round.

As this goes to press all Dartmouth eyes are looking towards New York and the N.C.A.A. tourney. The basketball team is going to make an all-out effort to better last year's record of being national runnerup.
