Yale-Michigan, Princeton-Navy Meets Produce Exceptional Times as Swimmers Crack Records

The very highest type of swimming competition was seen in Ann Arbor Saturday night when Michigan took Yale by a 53 to 22 score. Waldemar Tomski, of the Wolverines, turned in three incredibly fast sprint races.

He swam the 50 in 22.9, typing the National Collegiate Athletic Association record, a time which, incidentally, is one-tenth of a second under Charlie Hutter's best performance. Tomski also won the 100 in 52.# and swam a relay 100 in 50.3, which is seven-tenths of a second under the accepted world record set by Johnny Weismuller and Peter Fick. Of course, this time must be considered unofficial, as are all relay clockings.

Tom Haynie, also of Michigan, swam the fastest two distance events in a dual meet since Willie Kendall left competition, with a 2:12.4 220 and a 4:58.8 quarter-mile. Other outstanding feats were Yaleman Dan Endwelse's approximate 133 points to win the dive and the Wolverine 300-yard relay team's 2:58.2 win over the Eli medley trio.

Princeton had a very satisfactory visit with the Middles at Annapolis, the result of it all being a world's record in the 200 breaststroke, 20-yard course, for Captain Dick Hough. The Tiger leader did the ten laps in 2:19.8. Other results were a 123-point drive win by Navy's Gibson and a 1:33.2 backstroke victory by Princeton's Al Van de Weghe.

Coach Howie Steppe's dorsal ace also won the 220 yard free style event from Navy in the fast time of 2:15. This meant that Van de Weghne did not swim in the medley relay race.
