A week ago, the Cliffies swamped Wellesley and Bradford in a triangular meet. Miss Anderson and Miss Wright led the swimmers in scoring 55 1/2 points, to 36 1/2 for Wellesley and 12 for Bradford.

Six Radcliffe pool records were broken in the meet. Miss Oliver sparked the 160-yard medley relay team to a time of 1:35.2, nine seconds faster than the old record. She also led the 160-yard freestyle relay team to a pool record of 1:27.9.

Harvard swimmers officiated at the meet and provided some comic relief with their relay, the "Psychedelic Special."
