...Macky swam the 220 for the first time in his life in a meet, forced Yale's Captain John Phair and Ray Ellison to come from behind to place second and third--the latter caught up only on the last turn, and recorded the excellent time of 2:13.5. That clocking ranks with the top six in the East, but with it, though he forced the Yale entries to swim faster than they ever had before and nearly pulled off a surprise third that no one expected, Macky was panned by Danzig...

Yet because Aubrey was magnificent and because the judges awarded second place to Gideonse in both races, Danzig termed Dyer a poor third. Dyer never swam both races so fast in one afternoon in his life. Nor have more than two currently swimming humans. To be the third fastest sprinter around is not enough for Danzig...
...foisted his ignorance off on the Crimson swimmers, charging them with falling short when they exceeded all they had done before. For this reason, Danzig should never have written his article. That he made a fool of himself to the informed is inconsequential. That he panned some guys who swam their hearts out and succeeded eminently matters very much

Jorgensen quickly came back with a 440 time of 4:45 flat, one and one-half seconds slower than his record for that distance...
