Captain Ed Stowell of the Harvard swimming team fell just one-fifth of a second short of the world's record in the 220-yard backstroke, turning in a time of two minutes, 32 2-5 seconds yesterday afternoon in the Indoor Athletic Building Pool, during the intermission of the Freshman meet. The record he was trying to break was two minutes, 32 1-5 seconds, made by George Kojac in the Yale Pool.
Stowell was Intercollegiate champion in his Sophomore year, and stands a good chance of winning again this year. This Friday night, against Franklin and Marshall, he will meet Chalmers, who won the Intercollegiate event last year.
