Underdogs tonight, Tiger tankmen hold three national intercollegiate records: Al Van de Weghe's in the backstroke; Dick Hough's in the breaststroke, and Van de Wegne, Hough and Captain Johnny Simpson in the 300-yard medley relay. In these events the Tigers are virtually unbeatable unless any of three things happen. Crimson Coach Hal Ulen may put Charlie Hutter in the free-style leg of the medley; Dario Berizzi, in top form, may catch Hough off form; Van de Weghe may have an off day and be nosed out by an inspired Graham Cummin...
...expected that Willy Kendall will coast to an easy furlong victory, as will Don Barker in the 50. Hutter shouldn't have to strain himself in the 100. However, just what the 400-yard free-style relay team will do remains the usual mystery. While the boys will probably be saving themselves for Princeton, they may, on the other hand, feel just like smashing out four breath-takingly fast 100's. Whether they do or not, the boys are certain than any phenomenal times they swim against Navy will impress the Tigers no end before Saturday's meet...
...time is four seconds under Graham cummin's best has stacked the cards for himself. Dick Hough, in the breastroke, is almost certain to finish ahead of Fritz Berrizl. Hough's personal record is five seconds faster than Berizzl's. With Van de Weghe and Hough in the medley relay, assisted by Van Oss or Simpson for the free-style leg, the Tigers stand a better-than-average chance of winning that event. They have broken Harvard's intercollegiate record in the medley this year...
...defeat since 1930, 47 to 37, has showed that either the Buckeyes or the Crimson swimmers are tops in college ranks. . . . Although Penn is at the bottom of the League, Williams of the Quakers is on top in individual scoring. He usually competes in two sprint events and the relay. . . . On Sunday Ralph Flanagan did 1:23.6 for 150-yards free-style, eight-tenths of a second better than Bill Kendall's world record. But Flanagan was swimming in a 20-yard pool; hence the better time. . . . Yale, with or without Johnny Macionis (he's been sick) looks mighty good...
...Michigan won, but only after the score had been tied three times and finally clinched (41-to-34) in the very last event on the program when Michigan's Haynie beat Yale's Captain John Macionis by a touch in the anchor leg of the 400-yd. relay...
