Dartmouth 46, Pennsylvania 29—With victories over Army and Columbia already under their belts, Coach Karl Michael's charges continued their winning ways against Penn. This victory placed the Green in undisputed possession of first place in the Eastern Intercollegiate League with a record of 3-0. Jay Urstadt smashed the old College record (held by himself) in the 200-yard breaststroke to provide the highlight of an extremely satisfying performance by the entire aggregation. With more than 500 spectators crowding into the local turkish bath, otherwise known as Spaulding Pool, the Green got off to a flying start by taking the 300-yard medley relay with Dodd, Urstadt (versatile fellow, he) and Norton. Then followed a victory for Penn in the 820-yard freestyle, one of the two wins for the Red and Blue during the performance. Dartmouth's Thalhimer won the go-yard free style and Dick Hartung came in first in the 100-yard freestyle. Ed Tevald (undefeated this year) won his diving specialty. Then Dana Jackson won the 150-yard backstroke and Penn came through with its second victory in the 440-yard freestyle.
Dartmouth 43, Princeton 32—Before a Carnival crowd, on the Friday afternoon of that fiesta, Dartmouth did something they have never done before, namely, beat Princeton in swimming. This is probably' the strongest aggregation Dartmouth has ever fielded (if that is what you do with a swimming team) and it was a pleasure and a privilege for Coach Michael to garner an initial Green win over a hitherto invulnerable Tiger. Prior to this engagement, Princeton had won five straight this year, so this was no weak and puling kitten in a Tiger skin. Dartmouth won six out of nine first places in this epic encounter,with Princeton winning only the 150-yard backstroke, the 440-yard free style, and the 440-yard relay. Green victories were as follows: the goo-yard medley (with Dodd, Urstadt, and Hartung competing); Captain Marty Anderholm in the 820-yard free style; Dick Howe in the 50-yard free style; Hartung in the roo-yard free style; Solberg in the soo-yard breaststroke; and last, but by no means least, Ed Tevald in the dive. The latter is graduating in February of this year and this was his last participation for the Green. Coming in via V-12, Tevald has been an outstanding diver. Coach Michael will hate to lose him.
