The 160-yard relay team composed of Col- bath, Parks, McDonald, and Schwartz also won easily over the Boiler- makers. The hundred-yard free style was a raceibetween two of the Purple men, McDonald and Wicks, and the latter beat out his team- mate. Colbath and Miller garnered first and second places in the fancy diving. A 55-14 score against the Wisconsin team almost duplicated the victory over Purdue, but this time the opposition won no first. Al Schwartz, Purple free style speedster, was the outstanding figure of the evening, taking firsts in the forty and hundred-yard free style events, and then swimming as anchor man on the fast relay team.
