...Jack Medica's world's record time for the 220 free-style is 2:07.9, but because this is one of the most unbreakable records in the books, anything, up to 2:16.5 is considered excellent. From 2:17 to 2:22 is thought of as good. Captain Eric Cutler can do close to 2:13, but Charles G. Hutter '38 holds the Harvard record at 2:10.8.

...sweep the swimming races at Berlin as they did at Los Angeles four years ago, the Japanese last week did nothing of the sort. When the six men's events were over, U. S. swimmers had won the 100-metre backstroke (Adolph Kiefer), 400-metre free style (Jack Medica). Japanese swimmers had won only three events (200-metre breast stroke, 1,500-metre free style, and 800-metre relay). U. S. victories by Dick Degener and Marshall Wayne in springboard and platform diving respectively clinched aquatic superiority...
