Swimmers Go Down to Defeat in Meet With Rutgers and Navy

Although the university swimming team was able to keep its engagements with Rutgers and the Naval Academy in spite of delayed train schedules, the crimson merman were obliged to accept defeat from both of their opponents. The meet with Rutgers, which took place in Ballantine Pool at New Brunswick, N. J., Friday night resulted in a 39-14 score in Rutgers' favor. Ross was the star performer for the New Jersey mermen, winning first in the 100- and 200-yard dashes and swimming on the victorious relay team. L. B. Davis '22 placed first in the plunge, while A. H. Brackett '22, and A. Levy '21 took second places in the 50-yard dash and fancy dive respectively; these being the only first and second places won by the University swimmers.

The experience and ability of the Navy swimmers proved to be too much for the University tank men at the meet in Annapolis Saturday afternoon, the final score being 36 to 8.
