The varsity swimming team shut out an extremely weak Pennsylvania squad as the Crimson's Jim Stanley set an impressive Harvard record in the 200-yard orthodox breaststroke Saturday night at the I.A.B. pool. The Crimson took every first and second place spot to score a maximum possible number of points in its 78 to 8 win.
Stanley's 2:27.7 beat the old record of 2:30.6. He pulled away immediately at the start and finished a half-lap ahead of the second place varsity swimmer Doug McCartney.
The usual mainstays all came through with victories over the weakest team the Crimson has faced this season. It was their second conference win, the first being over Army, 58 to 28, here, in December. (The Conference includes the eight Ivy teams and the two service squads from Annapolis and West Point.)
