SWIMMERS SUCCUMB TO AMHERST

Despite recent losses which greatly weakened them, the University swimming team held Amherst to a 33 to 20 victory Saturday night at Ocean Pier tank. As was expected Nelligan of Amherst proved the star of the meet taking first place in the 50- and 220-yard dashes. The most exciting race of the evening was the 100-yard dash in which all four entries remained abreast for about three quarters of the distance when Huthsteimer of Amherst pulled ahead and won by inches from Captain Wentworth. A. F. Pickernell '14 had the distinction of being the only man to win first place for the University by going 62 feet in the plunge for distance.
