Yardling captain Dave Abramson set a new University record in the 220-yard freestyle, touching out Bulldog star Bob Townsend in a time of 2:02.9. Townsend led until the last turn, but after 200 yards he apparently thought the race was over (most freshman high school meets are swum over a 200 yard distance) and stopped for a fraction of a second...
...expected him to heat Pringle by only a touch. The Crimson junior knocked more than four seconds from his previous best to post a time of 2:01.6, followed by Welch's third place time of 2:02.0. The event was the fastest backstroke race ever swum in dual meet competition...

Zentgraf's best time in the 220 is 2:05.1 against Navy; Graef has swum 2:05.2, also against the Middies. Either could easily break the pool mark of 2:05.0, set last year by Yale star Bill Chase...
...Kaufmann swims in the freestyle relay no one will beat the Crimson. But Kaufmann may well have already swum this three events. If so, a fourth man will have to be found to fill out the team of Engleberg, Zentgraf, and Hunter...
...killing himself to stay even. In the last lap Pringle tired noticeably, and first Karetsky, then Bissell and Crimson junior Jim Coffman passed him for a Yale sweep and new pool and Yale records.
