SWIMMING The 70-71 season for Coach Ryan ' s team was one of a comeback. After a disappointing 6-7 last year. The team came back to post an impressive 11-2 dual meet record, Led by Captain and high scorer Jack Frink, the swimmers avenged many of the previous year ' s losses. Jack Frinch was the mainstay of the team providing a reliable point scorer in the 200 yd and 100 yd freestyle. Bill Death- erage, the sophomore distance ace, continued his fine swimming by breaking his record in the 100 yd freestyle. John Ferguson the Capt. elect proved to be the best all around swimmer. The Medley relay made up of Ben Ross Eastern chap, Tom Slear our top butterflier, Bill Orton one of the East ' s best breaststrokers and Jack Frinke broke the Academy record and was nationally ranked throughout the season. The highpoint of the season was the victory over Navy by 73-40 the largest margin ever recorded; sophomore Craig Hanison took top honors with the first place finishers. The divers gave much needed support as Pat Cron and Sandy Rubenstein took low board honors with John Donovan and Dan Hennebry on high board.
