...difference is, of course, that Ulen builds his superb squads out of normal human beings. He doesn't have names like John Marshall. Wayne Moore, or Jim McLane to conjure with. But Ulen has managed to parlay a Hedberg, a McNamara, a Dillingham, and a flood of sophomores into a team that will probably once again go undefeated until it travels to New Haven in March to meet Kiphuth's frogmen...
...though the present Crimson swimmers would be considerably weaker than the team that finished second in the E.I.S.L. last year. A number of the better men on last year's freshman squad were academically amputated from the varsity, at least for the fall term. On top of this, Ulen lost, through graduation, the services of John Steinhart, who went through the regular season last year undefeated in the backstroke, Captain Bob Berke, an ace in sprints, distance, and medley, and good second-place diver Frank Manhelm...
...happily, freshman coach Bill Brooks still managed to pass on four startling sophomores to Ulen. The four--Mary Sandler in the 220 and 440 freestyle, Charlie Egan in the new 150-yard individual medley, Don Mulvey in the backstroke, and Ralph Zani in the breast-stroke--took five out of ten first places in the recent drawing and quartering of Pennsylvania...
Dave Hedberg continues as the Crimson's top sprinter, but has been switched several times this year to strengthen the 220. For the 50 Ulen has been substituting footballer John McNamara for Hedberg. In competition so far this year McNamara's specialty seems to be making one or two false starts, looking extremely sheepish and apologetic when called back, and then reeling off fine times to win the short race. Alternate sprinters are Captain Bob Stroud, Ron Husbach, and Phil Pratt, who team with either Hedberg or McNamara to form a strong relay quartet...
...middle distances, Dick Fouquet, who improved greatly at the end of last season, has been consistently edged out by Sandler. For the backstroke, Ulen has the two men he calls his "little giants," Mulvey and Hugh Hartwell. Mulvey is a little bigger and stronger than his teammate, and usually competes as backstroker in the medley relay as well as in the regular 200-yard event. Eric Ueland is another fine individual medley competitor...
