Drucker, Curwen Place In Collegiate Swim

Competing against the greatest aggregation of swimmers ever assembled in collegiate history, Harvard, together with 14 other colleges, could do little to prevent Yale from taking 10 out of a possible 11 titles in the Eastern Intercollegiates which took place over the weekend at New Haven.

Of the six Crimson entries, Captain-elect Bill Drucker and Bus Curwen were the only tankmen to place. Drucker garnered a third behind Danny Dannenbaum of Yale and Tom Shand of Princeton in the 150 yard backstroke with the sparkling time of 1:37.7, only eight-tenths of a second slower than the winning pace.

After qualifying for the finals with a time of 2:31.8, the best he has done this season, Curwen finished up sixth in the final heat, which was taken by the Eli's Jack Meyer in 2:24.5, one-tenth of a second faster than Princeton's Dick Hough did it in the 1939 meet.
