Rusty Greenhood, Eric Cutler Chalk up Only Crimson Firsts in Eastern Swim

Rusty Greenhood came through with the only Harvard win in Saturday night's concluding events in the individual championships of the Eastern Intercollegiate Swimming League, scoring 119.5 points to snare the high-board dive for the second consecutive year.

Out of the eight events scheduled for the second day of competition, Princeton took four firsts, Yale three, and Harvard one, leaving the Crimson with a total of three victories--two dive titles for Greenhood and a 440 triumph for Eric Cutler.

Cutler won his heat of the 220 in 2:17.6, but succumbed to Ned Parke's driving finish in the final, losing by one foot to the Princeton sophomore who was clocked in 2:16.8. Frannie Powers, timed in 2:18.6 in the qualifying round when he was second to Parke, ended up sixth in the final.

Misfortune overtook Jim Curwen in the 100 free-style. Coming into his turn at the halfway mark, he spun without touching the wall and had to return to make contact, losing two body lengths in the process. He turned on the heat for his final fifty but his qualifying time of 55.4 was too slow to place him in the finals. Yale Captain Johnny Good took the final in the fine time of 52.7, eclipsing the meet record of 53 flat set by Charlie Hutter last year, and thus ending his career in Payne Whitney Pool with his best time.

There was no one within 18 points of Greenhood in the dive. Gosling, of Penn; Dyer, of Dartmouth, and Chet Sagenkahn, of Harvard finished in the order behind him, with Chet losing To Dyer, who scored 92.3 points, by three-tenths of a point.

The really sensational feat of the evening was provided by Princeton's incorrigibly fast medley team. Breaking its own American and unofficial world's record for the 12 laps. Al Van de Weghe, Dick Hough, and Hank Van Oss turned in the unbelievable time of 2:51.9. It is calculated that Van de Weghe did his 100 in 59.2, Hough the breastroke leg in 59.3, and Van Oss the free-style century in 53.4 to hang up a record that is likely to stand for many years.
