A victory by Captain W. S. deLima '31 in the quarter mile event, and first places won by B. S. Wood '33 in the two shorter free style swims, together with a sprint by Wood as anchor man in the decisive relay race, again gave the Crimson swimmers victory, the sixth successive one in the pool of the Indoor Athletic Building, when they defeated Dartmouth 37 to 25 on Saturday.
Wood and deLima were the only Crimson swimmers to take first places. At the start of the relay race Harvard lead 29 to 25; Wood and the Hanover anchor man dove into the water at the same second, but the Sophomore star gained a yard lead which he held to the end. The time set, 1 min., 39. sec., betters the former Harvard record mark by 1-5 sec., but compares unfavorably with the mark of 1 min., 34 4-5 sec. set by the Eli relay team in its victory over Princeton on Saturday.
The summary:
50-yard free style swim--Won by B. S. Wood '33; second, Cukor (D); third, Smith (D). Time--24 4-5 sec.
