Coach Hal Ulen won't need to plan any radical changes in his line-up. Captain Rusty Greenhood will have Chet Sagenkahn as his running mate in the dive, which will be a high-board event for the first time this year. Ned Goldwasser, Harley and Lonnie Stowell, Fred Griffin, and Johnny Quinlan will do all the free-style sprinting while Eric Cutler, Frannie Powers, Bob White, and Ed Hewitt will do the distance work. Art Bosworth and Craig Moore will swim the backstroke events...
