Varsity Swimmers Lose to Yale, 56-28; Eli Freshmen Nip Yardlings

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

For the second year in a row, Hal Ulea's Crimson swimmers wound up second to Yale in the Eastern Intercollegiate Swimming League as the Elis captured their 84th consecutive dual-meet victory, 56 to 28. And for the second year in a row, Yale spoiled the Crimson's perfect record, giving them 18 out of 20 victories in that time.

In the freshman meet, Captain Kerry Donovan took the 50- and 100-yard freestyle sprints in near-record time to lead the Elis to a 50 to 34 win over Bill Brooks' Yardling team.

Freestyler Dave Hedberg was the big point-gatherer for Ulen's squad, winning the 100-yard sprint and trailing the Elis Don Scheff in the 50. The Crimson scored three firsts during the afternoon. Pete Dillingham found some tough competition in Ken Welch, but he won the three-meter dive anyway, with 122.58 points. And in the 200-yard backstroke Ken Emerson and Ralph Zanl finished one-two for the Crimson.

For most spectators, the big event of the meet was the 220-yard freestyle, which included John Marshall and Jim McLane. With most of the crowd cheering McLane, Marshall nosed out his teammate with a time of 2:07.
