While Yale was swamping the hitherto unbeaten Navy mermen at New Haven to clinch its eighth consecutive championship of the Intercollegiate League, the University swimming team fought its way to a 43-28 victory over Pennsylvania on Saturday. Harvard, in its second year of intercollegiate swimming, will thus face Yale on Wednesday, March 9, in the Carnegie pool with a clean record of eight wins.

Two Harvard record were shattered Saturday, first when E. E. Stowell '34 cut down his own time in the back stroke to 1 minute, 44 4-5 seconds, and then when a relay team composed of R. D. Fallon '33, E. P. Parker '34, T. H. Jameson '33 and B. S. Wood '33, hung up a pool record of 3 minutes, 42 seconds.

In addition to the relay, Wood swam the 220 and the 440, maintaining a narrow lead over Strong of Penn in the latter event to win by a two-foot margin in 5 minutes, 16 seconds. Wood won the intercollegiate 440-yard championship last spring with a time of 5 min., 4 sec. and if he swims in this event against Yale is likely to take first place. Yale made a clean sweep of the first a year ago.
