Yale 1934 Swimmers Win Relay, Take Meet 34-28
A two-foot margin in the deciding relay race gave the Yale Freshman swimming team a 34 to 28 victory over the Crimson 1934 swimmers in the final meet of Harvard's initial season, Saturday afternoon in the Carnegle Pool at New Haven.
Captain E.P. Parker '34 was victor in both the shorter free style events and G.L. Jorgensen '34 won in the 220-yard free style swim. The Crimson led 28 to 26 at the start of the relay, and Parker failed by only two feet to overcome the lead which the first three Blue swimmers had given their anchor man, Meffert.
The Freshmen during the season won one of six meets, from Exeter. At Andover, handicapped by the absence of George Wightman '34, they lost by a two-point margin.
