Swimming Team Wins First Meet From Springfield Y.M.C.A. College

In its first meet of the season on Saturday afternoon the University swimming team defeated Springfield Y.M.C.A. College at the Boston Y.M.C.A. by a score of 31 to 22. Although the visitors won three first places, in the dive, the plunge, and the 220-yard swim, yet by capturing the relay event and taking both first and second in the 100-yard dash the University team overcame the advantage their opponents had secured.

Handicapped by the loss of E. C. Mott-Smith, who has been provisionally placed in the Freshman class until mid-year's, and P. Johnson '21, who has been declared temporarily ineligible by the College office, the team made an unexpectedly fine showing.
