NEW YORK, N. Y., March 1.--The University swimming team was defeated by Columbia this evening by the score of 29 points to 24, also losing the water polo game by the close score of 1 to 0. Harvard was greatly handicapped by unfamiliarity with the circular tank.
P. Withington '09 won the 50-yard dash, and in the 100-yard dash slipped on the cloth and after a hard fight lost by only a few inches. J. V. Quinian '07 was third in the 50-yard dash, and first and second places in the 220-yard swim were won by E. Farley '07 and L. Howe '07 respectively. L. B. Harding '08 tied for second place in the plunge and S. E. Goodwin '07 won the diving. The most closely contested event was the relay race, which Columbia won by four yards. The water polo game was much closer than expected and was fast and exciting throughout.
