Varsity, Yardling Swimmers Beat Nassau, Edge Williston

Breast-stroker Dave Hawkins and the freshman 200-yard free-style relay team of Roger Clifton, Chouteau Dyer, Jen Lind, and Stu Ogden broke their own records Saturday night as the varsity swimmers swamped Princeton, 71 to 13, and the Yardlings downed Williston Academy, 43 to 32, in the IAB.

Hawkins bettered by four seconds the mark of 2:22 he set against Springfield in the season's opener last Dec. 12. This came five events after he led teammate Gus Johnson to the finish in the 50-yard free-style.

Such one-two Crimson finishes were practically the rule for the meet. The varsity won both the medley and free-style relays and swept the first two places in six of the remaining eight events. Only in the back stroke did two Princeton men score.

Don Mulvey of the varsity took that event, ahead of Tigers Bill O'Brien and Don Harbock. In the 440, Princeton's Denny Rice split Crimson Captain Charley Egan and Duke Geer.

Jim Jorgensen was the only double winner for the varsity beside Hawkins. He edged mates Alan Rapperport and John Millard in the 220 and 100-yard freestyle. Egan, in addition to his 440 win, seconded Marv Sandler in the individual medley.

Smalls Wins Diving Event

Sandler and Rapperport followed Jack Dinsmoor and Bill Travis on the free-style relay team that converted a poor Princeton turn into a victory. Ralph Zani chased Hawkins to his record in the breast stroke, and, with Mulvey, completed the list of Crimson double entries. He and Mulvey teamed with Ted Whatley in the medley relay.

In the remaining event, Pete Smails topped teammate Marshall Walters off the three-meter board, showing some of his best diving of the year.

Not only did the Yardling relay team set a new record, but it won the freshman meet. The event is worth seven points to the winner; the score going into the race stood 36 to 32 for the freshmen. It would have been 37 to 31 in favor of Williston if Glenn Sisler, Captain Sigo Falk, and Pete Macky had not taken the medley relay, one event earlier.

Falk, Jaffe Sweep

The turning point in the meet came when Dyer and Lind captured the first two places in the 100-yard free-style, which Williston, in the persons of Chip Ide and Larry Schuescher, was favored to take.

The only other one-two finish for the Yardlings came in the breast-stroke, swept by Falk and Bob Jaffe. Art Martin in the low-board dive was the third and last freshman to win his event.
