STUDENT DEFIES WEATHER AND DARES FRIGID RIVER

The first signs of spring were apparent yesterday afternoon despite the frigid weather. LeC. H. Eells 1G.B. after many tempting bribes offered to him by fellow students consented to swim across the Charles River.

Clad in only a thin bathing suit, Eells walked over the bridge to the Weld Boathouse and, to the utter amazement of crew officials there, plunged right in. A delighted crowd of several hundred students greeted him on the other bank, while the Larz Anderson Bridge was jammed with automobiles of other spectators.
