s lmlmnq if This year's Varsity Swimming Team chalked up one of the most outstanding records ever to be achieved by a U. S. swimming team. The Swimmers, determined to have an excellent season, immediately won their first 2 contests and then began to concentrate on the City Meet. After placing nine men in the preliminaries, the team, inspired by a roaring U.S. cheering section, then went on to capture the City Crown. The next 2 teams to face the City Champs were doused by large margins. The first and only setback which the squad received was delivered by a very powerful Shaker group. After this blemish on their record the Champs bounced back by defeating the Case Frosh. The final meet to the season proved to be very gratify- ing for the U.S. swimmers, the squad thoroughly sank W.R.A. 58 to l7. Throughout the season the team was sparked by the outstanding performances of Captain Art Davis, Steve Apthorp, and Robbie McLellan, in the free- style, Frank Durham and Doug Kirtz in the back stroke, and Roger Drake in the breast stroke. Gary Pildner, ind. medley man, set a new record this year, his time, l:46.2. The medley relay team of Durham, Drake, and Apthorp also set a record, this team won first place in the City Meet with a time of l:25.6. This time was .2 tenths of a second better than the old record. Roger Drake was the winner of the Osborn Moore Swimming Trophy, he earned 55 points in eight meets.
