Dave Hawkins came up from last place in the finals of the 220-yard butterfly at the National A. A. U. swimming meet at Yale on April 2, shot by four of the men ahead of him, but could not overtake Eulalio Rios, Pan American Games champion, who set a world record to win. One of the men Hawkins passed was Phil Drake of North Carolina, who had beaten the Crimson junior over the 200-yard distance in the N. C. A. A.'s.
Rios covered the course in 2:30.2, Hawkins took second with a 2:30.5, and Drake was a full second behind.
Hawkins dolphin kick didn't work well in the time trials, producing only a 2:35 clocking and forcing him to rely solely on his own slide kick and the frog kick in the finals.
