When the spray settled around the Indoor Athletic Building last Saturday night, diver Bob Aaron of the Crimson swimmers had walked off from the 3-meter board with an all high pool point total of 110.9 points, a most significant share in his teammates scuttling of the Brown sqquad 45 to 30.

A Yardling aggregation setting the style for their elder brothers, topped the Bruins 44 to 31 earlier in the evening. But here Milton Brier of the foe breast-stroked his 200 yard way for a time of 2:32.9 and the record mark of the first year Providence visitors.

With the taste of their first Ivy League triumph sweet upon the tongue, the mermen retired after the victory to elect John G. Watkins '46 of Hawaii and Lowell House as Varsity captain. The Freshmen picked Charles F. Grover '50, a Boston commuter, for the same honor.

Brown Tide Ebbs Early

Ulen and his men were in command from the outset, and when Brown's intercollegiate ace Carl Paulson was nosed out by Jerry Gorman in the 220 freestyle, it was clear which way the tide would continue to flow. Paulson acquitted himself, however, in the closest event of the meet, as he touched the wall a stroke ahead of the Crimson's Chuck Hoelzer in the 200 yard breast-stroke.

Ralph E. Gossler garnered the only other firsts for Brown, outstroking Bill MacVickar in both the 50 and the 100 free. In the 440 Gorman and Ted Norris, both of the Varsity, raced it out between themselves for first and second respectively. Dave Murray led the backstrokers easily for the full 150 yards.

Despite a successful Brown push in the 400 yard relay for the often crucial seven points, the lap margin still wasn't good enough to make up a gap that would have needed more than a doubling of the Bruins' points.
