Gliding contests for the intercollegiate swimming
and water polo championships held in the College
Of the City OF New York natatoriurn last night
Pennsylvania defeated Princeton in swimming by
20 points g. while the Els in turn spoiled the
Quakers' chances for two titles by trouncing them
in the deciding water polo game by the score OF
goals TO O.
The result of the swimming meet came as big
surprise 70 the followers OF the Princeton team
The New Jersey boys had defeated the other teams
in the intercollegiate league by precisely the same
scores as Pennsylvania, but last night the best
that they could do was to get two hrsts and three
thirds. At time were the Philadelphians IN
danger OF losing their lead in the point score. rs
they captured the first two places in three OF the
contests, and they also the relay race.
Things looked bright for Princeton victory in
the relay for the first relay. Railli got on
with the pistol and at the turn had a considerable
lead over Sylvester. the Pennsylvania man. When
Baurman started on the second stretch for Prince
ton he had lead Of six yards on Graham. But
the Princetonian couldn't keep the pace Of the
Quaker, and at the end of the tank they were on
even terms The sprint to the finish decided the
outcome OF the race. Graham forged ahead. with
Baurman close behind. but when they had covered
half the distance the Princeton man gradually
weakened and Graham beat him in by FIVE yards.
Chambers, with this handicap TO make up
started Off at fast clip, but he soon exhausted
himself, although he managed 10 keep Dalrymple,
the third Pennsylvania man, from increasing the
lead It was the same thing in the last relay. Shy
rock and Darymple fought IL out stroke for stroke
from start TO finish, but neither was able 70
change his position. and Shyrock finished five yards
ahead for Pennsylvania.
Shyrock further distinguished himself by win
ming the yard swim He had the race from the
start and easily, in 3:l6 ID, leaving Dalrympe,
his team mate, and Rogers. OF Princeton, TO fight
II out for second place. Dalryrnple finally got the
place by few feet after nip-and tuck struggle.
Princetons best work done in the short dis
tance swirns- Denniston won the 5o-yard swim IN
the fast time Of 2S seconds The men had 10
swim three lengths or the tank 10 cover the dis
tance and it not until they the last
stretch that the Princeton man pulled away from
the others and by about six yards. Two Penn
sylvania men, Graham and Sylvester, scored sec
ond and third respectively. Graham kept on even
terms with Denniston and never allowed the Mas
10 get than a foot ahead for
more than half the race. Then the strain told on
him and ne gradually slipped back and barely man
aged to get second place from Sylvester
Chambers duplicated Dennistons performance
and won the hundred yard swim with fifteen yards
10 spare Shyrack and Dalrymple however, got
the other places for the Quaker team, so the VIC
tory failed to give Princeton chance 10 cut down
the lead 70 any great extent. Chambers had the
race from the start, but he had 10 keep moving
lively for the first sixty yards when he just had
q. lead oover Shyrac. The time 1908 about
seconds behind the intercollegiate record for
the distance.
r D Hopkinson, Of Pennsylvania plunged 81
feet inches. The next best plunge was 81 feet
inches and this also made by 2 Pennsyl-
vanian- ". G Chapman. VoIferth took third place
for Princeton with e. feet.
Pennsylvania then started the water polo game
confident of victory. They had previously defeated
Yale IN match game by the score Of goals 10
? but Yale by winning all her other games tied
the Quakers for the championship, as the latter
team forfeited TO Harvard The result seemed TO
De even moro overwhelming to Penn than the
swimming victory they had jusr won The Ars+
Fa~
cerned- Yale managed 10 touch the goal once b,r
had successfully defended her own board The
[hLaoelphlans, however, were outclassed and in
lhe second period Yale tailed four times and let
her opponents have the ball only once
The PENNSYLVANIA guards were beviIdered with
1he last swimming and graphing OF the Yale for
"aros. They tried 70 break up the formations and
once N while resorted 10 foul tactics. but these
oHeoces were never serious Time had 70 be taken
