In its second meet of the season the Freshman swimming team went down to a 41 to 21 defeat at the hands of the Boys Club of Boston in the pool of the Indoor Athletic Building yesterday afternoon. The 1934 swimmers, who downed a strong Exeter team 39 to 27 last Saturday, were able to secure only two first places, two second, and five third places from their older opponents.

Shinney of the Boys Club was clocked at 2 min., 16 sec. in the 200-yard free style; his team-mates Kyles and Nolan won with ease in the back stroke event. The Boston swimmers scored eight points in the dive, with Waters Kellogg '34 supplying the only competition, and eight in the 200-yard relay, at the finish of which O'Brien lead G. L.
