...carefully shuffling his personnel, coach Bill Brooks used his available talent for successful results. Dick Seaton won the 220-yard freestyle and Koni Ulbrich took two third places in the freestyle sprints. In the 200-yard breast-stroke Jim Stanley and Doug McCartney swept first and second and the medley relay team of Gary Pildner, Stanley, Hammond, and Dave Seaton kept a winning distance ahead of the Indians...
