DE LIMA SOPHOMORE, TAKES SWIM, TITLE, BREAKS RECORD

Swimming in the annual New England A. A. U. championships at the Brookline Public Baths last night, W. S. De Lima '31 clipped nine seconds off his own record for the senior men's 500-yard free style race when he thrashed the distance in 6 minutes 18 1-5 seconds. George Shinney of the Boys' Club of Boston, who finished second to De Lima, was lapped by the victorious Harvard Sophomore.

De Lima won the 500-yard championship last year, and it was his own mark made in the 1928 race which he eclipsed in last evening's performance.
