HOWE DEFEATS CROSS IN TANK
Yale Man Points Out a Mistake in
Swimming Season Review.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir on the sporting page OF to-day's
Sunday Tribune page 1D was an article
on intercollegiate swimming. in which the
victories OF Cross, of Princeton. in the 100
and 20 yard races were discussed. Then
followed a slight misstatement. which ]
hope you Will be kind enough 70 correct
The statement appeared that I'm the
Yale meet he Gross took the measure OF
Mayer and Summers. who tied for first
place in the Intercollegiate"
The actual results of the 50-yard dash
in the Yale-Prince,on meet were: First
Howe, OF Yale: time. &c 2-5 seconds; sec
ond. Cross. OF Princeton third. Summers.
Of Yale. Mayer. OF Yale. did not swim
in this race.
Furthermore, the time made by Sum-
mers and Mayer in tying for first place in
the intercollegiate was also d 2-5 seconds,
so II will be readily seen that the state
ment referred TO was incorrect. Mayer
won in the Harvard meet in IS fiat. and
has frequently done that in the relay.
