...junior at Tokyo's Waseda University, Yamanaka still has worlds to conquer before settling down to a career as a teacher. Australia's great Murray Rose, 20, swam as a guest in the Japanese meets, beat Yamanaka three times and lost to him twice.

From a humble beginning, spare, jaunty McKay built up a political career along with a thriving Chevrolet agency, rose from state senator to Governor (1949-53).
