Since a web-footed crew of Australians collected 14 of 23 gold medals at the Melbourne Olympics, the rest of the swimming world has faced up to an unhappy question: How and when can they ever catch up with the Aussies? While they ponder, the Australian Swimming Union is doing its best to aggravate the problem.

Tom Nuzum, another sophomore, whom Love tried ut at stroke earlier in this year, will row 2, and captain Jack Lapsley will round out the boat at bow. Bob McLaughlin will...
...Princeton track team has come to town with a crew of good hurdlers and dash men, and little else to challenge the Heptagonal champion Crimson power-house this afternoon in the Stadium. Hammer trials will begin at 12:30 p.m., with the first running event, the mile, scheduled...
