Yale Cops Title In East Coast Swim Meet

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Yale swam away with the Eastern Seaboard Intercollegiate Swimming Championships at Princeton this weekend, beating its closest contender by 66 points and leaving a tired Harvard team a distant eight places in its wake.

Competing without star performers Abramson, Mahoney, Miller, and Brandling-Bennett, the depleted Crimson squad allowed Princeton, Army, and Navy to avenge their losses to Harvard earlier is the season.

Crimson swimmers could score only one point during the final day of the three-day meet. Bill Chadsey earned a sixth place in the 100-yard breaststroke with a time of 1:05.4 for the lone tally. Chadsey has previously swum the event in 1:02.0.

The only other Harvard swimmer to place in a final heat was Steve Seagren in the 1650-yard freestyle. Seagren failed to place in the finals.

Harvard's sole first place in the entire meet was won on the first day by Captain John Pringle in the 400-yard individual medley. Princeton's Gardiner Green stole the 200-yard breaststroke from Pringles on the second day, setting new pool and Eastern records with a time of 1:18.0. Pringle's second place in this event and Chadsey's fourth gave the Crimson its only points of the second day.
