Sweeping away to an undisputed lead over the Dartmouth swimmers, the University aquatic forces annexed their seventh consecutive victory, submerging the Big Green contingent on the short side of a 49 to 22 score. E. E. Stowell '34, valuable Sophomore member of this year's Harvard marine group, got off to a good start in the backstroke event, which he won clocked at 1 minute, 46 2-5 seconds, a new Harvard record.
With only one more meet remaining before the clash with Yale on Wednesday, March 9, the natators seem likely to face the Elis without a defeat to mar their record. Pennsylvania will send its team to the Harvard pool on Saturday.
