Against Springfield, the Crimson swept every freestyle event but one--the 440, which was won on a record-breaking performance. Ulen has John McNamara, Dave Hedberg, and Captain Ron Huebsch--all seniors--for the 50 and 100-yard freestyle events. McNamara won at Springfield in 60-yard sprint-ten yards longer because the Springfield pool is a 20-yard affair, rather than the customary 25. Hedberg scored a double victory, in the 100 and 220 freestyle races...

...second night of competition on the floodlit field, Mathias almost came a cropper in one of his specialties, the 110-meter hurdles. Winging off to a sprint start, Mathias knocked over three of the ten barriers, but still managed to beat his best previous decathlon time, 0:14.7, by a tenth of a second. He threw the discus nearly 158 ft., pole-vaulted 12 ft. 3 3/4 in. (9 inches under his best mark), made a prodigious javelin throw of nearly 194 ft., and wound up his two nights' work with a 4:55.3 clocking...
...minute beat, the Navy shell was pulling away from the eleven-crew field, led second-place Princeton by a length and a half. Upping the beat to 31, Navy had a two-length lead at the 25-mile mark. In the final 200 yards, with a disdainful sprint, Navy increased its winning margin by another full length. Helped a bit by a tailwind, Navy was timed at 15:08.1. Previous course record, set by Cornell: 15:31. Also rans: Princeton, Cornell, Wisconsin, California, Columbia, Washington, Stanford, Pennsylvania, M.I.T., Syracuse...
