...Seattle's 27-year-old Jack Medica, who recently turned pro to coach at Columbia University, is the world's greatest middle-distance swimmer. Of 16 individual freestyle world's records, he is credited with nine-ranging from 200 meters (2:07.2) to a mile...
...homeopathy spread to the U. S., where it specially flourished among the Pennsylvania Germans. Bearded homeopaths, whose only knowledge of medicine was gained by mulling over the master's German writings (Organon; Chronic Diseases, Their Nature and Homeopathic Treatment; Materia Medica Pura), traveled from village to village handing out little colored sugar pills from their shabby black bags, fighting bitter trade wars with orthodox, "allopathic" physicians...
Bill Kendall '40 set a remarkable Harvard record of 4:48.9 in the quarter-mile, comparing favorably with Medica's world's record of 4:40.8. Cutler has done 4:56 and is expected to improve. To break five minutes is the ambition of every 440 swimmer, and anything under 5:10 is considered good. Yale's present team holds the 400 relay record at 3:30.7, while the Harvard record is 3:33.2. Any time for the four 100's under 3:35 is excellent; under 3:40 is good. Coach Ulen's best foursome may vary from...
...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. Hutter also set the Harvard mark for the 50 at 28 flat. The world's record is 22.5, made by Peter Fick. Anything under 24.5 is excellent, while clockings from...
...heels of this mildly amazing claim has come a well-substantiated rumor that Jack Medica, world record-holding distance ace who is now assisting Ed Kennedy with the Columbia coaching, has asserted that 225-pound Captain John Vergeichik will defeat Eric Cutler in the 220. Whether this is a device to fool Coach Ulen into thinking that Vergeichik will definitely swim the furlong, or whether it represents what Columbians are really thinking...
