WOOD WINS 440-YARD DASH IN SWIMMING INTERCOLLEGLATES

B. S. Wood '33, captain-elect of the 1931-32 swimming team, and only once defeated in the two short free style dashes during the past season turned to the 440-yard free style and took first place in that event from a field of natators representing 16 colleges and universities in the finals of the 25th annual individual championships of the intercollegiate Swimming Association in Columbia pool Saturday night.

Wood one of four champions to be crowned at the meet finished ahead of Leedy of Yale, winner in the Harvard Yale meet with a time of 4 min., 58 3-5 sec., and ahead of his team mate Osborne. The Crimson sprinter's time 5 min., 4 sec., was not a record one Yale with eight men qualified for the finals failed to win any event.
