Allowing the Alumni only two first places, Hal Ulen's varsity swimming team left the Coach's former pupils in the wake of a 47 to 19 score in their traditional opener, Saturday night in the Indoor Athletic Building tank.

The younger generation piled up firsts in every event except the 200-yard freestyle relay and the 100-yard freestyle races while sweeping first and second place slots in four events.

Pre-meet indications that the Crimson mermen were week in the sprints was only mildly evident as Fox triumphed in the 50-yard freestyle and Milt Buzby's third sandwiched Scott, of the Alumni. Buzby and Art Sicular, of the winners, followed Powers to the finish in the 100-yard freestyle.

Varsity Sweeps

Otherwise youth was served. Jerry German and Norris finished one-two in the 220-yard freestyle; John Drohan and Winslow Briggs carried off first and second places in the diving contest; Tom Woods and Bob Brainard led the field in the 100-yard backstroke; and Chuck Hoelzor and Ulen came home first and second in the 100-yard breaststroke.
