Schollander Loses in 200; Mark in Freestyle Broken

Greg Buckingham of U.S.C. pulled the biggest upset of the swimming season as he defeated Yale's Olympic Gold Medalist, Don Schollander in the 200-yard freestyle by six inches in the NCAA Swimming Championships at East Lansing, Michigan. Buckingham, a lanky junior, also won the 500 yard freestyle Thursday and will try to add a third win in the 1650 yard freestyle today.

Dan Havens, also of U.S.C., set a spectacular record in the last leg of the 400 yard freestyle relay. He swam the last hundred yards in 44.8 seconds, the first time anybody in history has ever swum a hundred yards under 45 seconds.

Harvard's qualifiers did not do as well. Captain-elect Pete Alter and sophomore sensation Bill Murphy did not make it through the diving preliminaries Thursday in the lowboard. Ken Sitzberger of Indiana, 1964 Olympic Gold Medalist won that event.

Alter and Murphy will get another chance at Sitzberger today in the high dive. This is Murphy's speciality. He won the high dive at the Eastern Seaboard Swimming Championships two weekends ago with a great comeback effort. Coach Bill Brooks is counting on another effort of the same caliber today.

The other Harvard qualifier, Bob Corris swam the 100 yeard breaststroke in 1:03.6, but managed to finish way down the list in the 23rd position. In that event, Mike Buckley of Yale finished sixth with a time of 1:01.1.

Ross Wales of Princeton, with a second place finish in the 200 yard butterfly was the only other high finisher from the Ivy League Friday. He finished second with a time of 1:53.2, 1.2 seconds behind the winner, Carl Robie of Michigan. In spite of its great effort today, U.S.C. trails Stanford by a point, 172-171. Yale is in sixth place with a total of 88 points. Harvard has yet to win a point, but with Murphy in the diving today, Harvard may finally turn in a point-getting performance.

Wrestling

Harvard didn't fare any better in the NCAA Wrestling championships, being held this weekend at Kent State University in Kent, Ohio.

Howie Henjyoji, 123-lb. champion in last weekend's New England AAU tournament, dropped down to 115 lbs. for the nationals and was eliminated in the first round by Steve Kavanaugh of Mississippi.

Harvard's only other entrant, junior Paul Padlak lost out to Michigan State's powerful George Radman in the 167-lb. division. Captain Ed Franquemont had to work on his thesis and couldn't make the trip.
