Undefeated Lowell captured the House swim crown with a double triumph over Winthrop and Eliot in last night's final triangular meet. The Bellboy mermen, who downed Winthrop 32 to 16 and won from Eliot by default, will defend their supremacy against an invading Eli squad on March 22.
A dual win for Kirkland over Leverett and Dunster gave the Deacons the runner-up slot, while dropping Winthrop to third. Dunster topped Leverett 26 to 13 to move into fourth place, leaving Eliot and Leverett tied for fifth and Dudley in the year.
Wrestling Finals Completed
Wrestling finals in the lightweight classes were completed yesterday, with Howie Schless of Winthrop downing Lowell's Kenneth Chun 5 to 0 in the 121-pound event, while the 136-pound crown went to Whitney Frye of Lowell House by default.
The 155-pound class boasted some of the day's best wrestling as Tom Smyth turned in two outstanding performances in eliminating Frank Goodwin and Cliff Fichtner. Smyth will face Buddy King, also of Eliot House, in one of five finals to be held on Thursday.
