Swimmers Swamp Lions, 66-18, As Jorgensen Sets 220 Record

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Jim Jorgensen broke his own record in the 220 and Gus Johnson placed third in the "Johnson 440" to highlight the swimming team's otherwise dull 66-18 trouncing of perennially weak Columbia at the I.A.B. Saturday night.

Obviously intent on a record, Jorgensen swam hard all the way despite the fact that his nearest competitor finished 30 yards behind.

The summaries: 300 medley relay--Harvard (Winthrop, S. Falk, Mischner)--2:58.5. 220 freestyle--Jorgensen (H), Cochran (H), Brown (C)--2:07.5 (new Harvard record--old record 2:07.8 set by Jorgensen March 12, 1955). 50 freestyle--Johnson (H), Clifton (H), Orrik (D)--23.5. 200 individual medley--Hawkins (H), Falk (H), Luikart (C)--2:16.2. One meter dive--Stone (H), Murner (H), Lee (C)--55.75 points. 100 freestyle--Jorgensen (H), Orrik (C), Macky (H)--52.5. 200 backstroke--Santmire (H), Galbraith (C), DuPont (H)--2:29.9. "Johnson 440"--Brown (C), Kastin (H), Johnson (H)--5:25.0. 200 breaststroke--Fowler (H), Silverblatt (C), D. Falk (H)--2:45.2. 400 freestyle relay--Harvard (Macky, Mischner, Hawkins, Lind)--3:34.6.
