Freshman phenomenon DEBBIE ZIMIC leads the Crimson--having qualified in seven events--followed by sophomore TERRI FRICK with six qualifications, KATHLEEN Mc. CLOSKEY with five, and JEANNE FLOYD with four. MAUREEN GILDEA, KATHY DAVIS and SUSAN KIM have also swum qualifying times, and divers PAM STONE and ADRIANA HOLY have both made the cuts in the one and three meter events. Much maligned--but by no means hapless--breaststroker GWEN KNAPP is sure to qualify, simply because she deserves to...Travelling to Princeton last weekend to see the swim meets were...
