This was true in the case of Charlie Hutter, who, by inhaling oxygen for several minutes before the start of a time-trial, turned in the phenomenal time of 22.8 for the 50. The world's record is 22.6. However, Ulen was quick to deprecate the importance of Hutter's feat in view of the fact that it is likely that almost the same results can be achieved by "forced breathing...
...Hutter was the only sprinter who was able to use the oxygen with good results. For any distance over the 50, the gas was worse than useless, since as soon as the swimmer would have to breath, the whole effect would be lost, and it would be accompanied by a minor let-down which actually slowed the men down...
...pool balcony, the little man is important because of his point-getting ability. Seconds and thirds, any Varsity swimmer will tell you, won the Yale meet last year. It was such things as Don Racker's second in the 50, Jim Munroe's third in the breastroke, and Hutter's magnificent second in the 440 that saved the meet from being decided by the last event, the open relay, which Yale won. It is worthy of mention that the crowd gave Hutter the greatest ovation not when he took the 220 in record time, not when he took...
This year, Bob Murphy and Ed Howitt wage terrific battles for second and third place in the 440 while Frank Coleman wins by a large margin. While Hutter runs away with the 100, it's Freddie Griffin who has the real race on his hands for the lesser honors. Ray Benedict always has to work his head off in the 220 while Digger Kendall coasts to a record, and Jack Kennedy in the backstroke, Jim Munroe and Phil Walker in the breast, and Forbush and Synder in the dive, are never sure of their places unless they...
...mean that the first place men are to be scorned for being too good--it means merely that racing swimmers develop to a point where work and guts and ability just won't make them go any faster. That's their high point. And if the high points of Hutter, Cummin and company produce faster times than those of Griffin and Benedict, etc., then there's no reason why they should be slighted...
