Marks Fall as Eli Swimmers Dominate Meet with 9 Wins

Yale swimmers took nine out of 14 first places in the Eastern Intercollegiate Championship Invitation Tournament held at Annapolis over the weekend.

While Harvard's 400-yard freestyle relay team of Bob Berke, Shep Brown, Bob Stroud, and Captain Joe Fox took third Friday for the Crimson's only success, the Blue broke four meet records and equalled one other in an imposing array of complete domination of the meet.

The stars of the meet were Princeton sophomore Bob Brawner, who set a meet record in the 200-yard and won the new 100-yard breaststroke event: Captain Al Ratkiewich of Yale, who broke the meet 150-yard backstroke mark and won the new 100-yard event; Jack Blum of Yale, who set meet records in winning both the 220-and 440-yard freestyle; and Eli diver Roger Hadlich, winner of both the one meter and three-meter dives.
