...winning time of 48.20 seconds is the second-fastest 100-yd. backstroke swim of all time. Had the Germantown, Penn., native swam the race one day earlier, it would have been an American record, but Stanford's Jay Mortensen set the new mark of 47.91 in his leg of the 400 medley relay...
U.S.C. Coach Jess Mortensen is still polishing Long's form. "We're hoping to get him a little lower over his right leg so he can be pushing on the shot a longer period of time. He also has a tendency to let the shot drop a little too low just before the throw." But he speaks of Long's ultimate capabilities with awe: "If I say 70 feet, people will think I'm crazy.

That way nobody will mistake them for anything physical." Middleman-and translator-between the chemists and the cinemakers is Earl Mortensen, one of Eyring's graduate students.
