...line 30 yards behind him-he breezed through a mile in 4 min. 7.4 sec., breaking his own (recognized) indoor record by one second. Seventy minutes later he attempted something more difficult. He entered the 600-yard race, less than half his usual distance. The others made a sprinting start. He elected to start standing up, and was promptly left behind. Then his legs began to pump and he pulled up on the leaders. With a terrific sprint he crossed the line in 1 min., 11.3 sec., tying the world's record. It did him no good...
...Weghe and Hough, the rest of the meet was all Harvard generally, and all Willy Kendall specifically. Kendall, after capturing the 220, pulled his way to a magnificent 4:50.5 quarter that sliced nine seconds from Charlie Hutter's last year's Harvard record. Captain Hutter, with two sprint wins to his credit, performed ably as usual, while Rusty Greenhood's 116., 57 point victory in the dive was a tribute to his ability to come through under competition...
...first dual meet defeat since 1930, 47 to 37, has showed that either the Buckeyes or the Crimson swimmers are tops in college ranks. . . .

...Yale lined up a green but well-rounded team, which had chalked up nine victories and no defeats this season. Michigan's team, also undefeated, was rated better. It included Tom Haynie, generally considered the best all-round college swimmer in the U. S., and Ed Kirar, intercollegiate sprint champion. As might have been expected, 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...
Oustanding success of eligible I.C.4-A. contenders this winter points to perhaps the finest meet in I.C.4-A. history. Ben Johnson, Columbia captain, sensational record-breaker in the Millrose games, has twice scored I.C.4-A. doubles in the 60-yard sprint and broad jump indoors...
