Varsity Mermen Submerge Boston Y.M.C.A. Swimmers 59 to 16

Crimson swimming teams enjoyed a successful evening last night, but not a brilliant one, as the Varsity over-whelmed the Boston Y. M. C. A. by as score of 59 to 16, after the Yardling team squeezed out a close win against the Boys' Club of Boston, 35 to 31.

Coach Ulen's tutees did not exactly shine but the opposition offered by the "Y" did not lend itself to record-breaking efforts on anyone's part. Bill Runge, of Boston, with wins in the 50 and 100, and a relay leg, was the sturdiest performer of the meet, while Eric Cutler's two victories in the distance events also stood out, particularly his 2:18.2 furlong. All three of Harvard's breast rokers were vastly improved, Mr. Ulen noted with approval.

The 1942 team produced several noteworthy efforts: Stearns' double triumphs in the 50 and 100, and Johnson's fine 1:07.6 backstroke century.
