HUPD Chief Says Harvard Yard Encampment is Peaceful, Defends Students’ Right to Protest
Turning in a fine performance for their absent coach, Hal Ulen, who was sick with the fin. Harvard's mermen took nearly every event in the swimming meet at M. I. T. last Saturday night. Against weak competition from Tech the Harvard squad dropped only two races to the down-stream team.
Outstanding were the performances of J. E. Curtin, Jr. V-12 (Harvard), who pulled up from behind in the 300-yard medley and the 200-yard breast stroke and that of Harvey Pastel, V-12, who had a close contest with Hun of Tech, winner of the diving event in last years meet. The final score in last Saturday night's competition being 75 points for Pastol to 74 for Hun.
Although no records were set, the team looks good for future dates, despite the handicap of limited opportunities for practice because of crowded conditions in the Indoor Pool. Next event on the squads card are the intra-mural races against the Army team on Carnival Night, February 12.
