The University swimming team concluded its season yesterday afternoon by defeating Boston University 32 to 20 in the Boston Y. M. C. A. pool. The Crimson swimmers took first place in every event except the 220-yd, swim, in which W. W. Douglass '22 finished third. Although the University was able to enter but one man in the plunge, L. B. Davis '20 captured that event by floating a distance of 58 ft. 6 in. Both teams had only one man available for the fancy dive, in which A. Levy '21 easily took first place.
