He did the century in 59.9 in an exhibition swim which was not accepted as a world's record because the authorities in New Haven had not been notified the prescribed three days in advance. He cracked Jim Skinner's Exeter and world's record of 1:02.1, and the accepted national mark of 1:02.7 made by Jack Kasley, of Michigan. Hough was paced by a pair of Yale breastrokers...
