Swimming

Harvard 46, Dartmouth 38. The Carnival swimming meet featured Harvard, this year and the Cantabs nosed out Coach Karl Michael's charges by a narrow margin, breaking a Spaulding Pool record in the process. The record was the 200-yard backstroke, with the erstwhile record- holder, Dartmouth's Phil Pendleton, coming in behind a Harvard, who made it in 2:17.5. The Green was able to muster victories in only three events: Bill McAndrew won the 220-yard freestyle, Steve Mullins won the individual medley, and the freestyle relay group of John Heyn, Lee Coulter, Bill McAndrew, and Captain Gordie Kay won their event.

The turning point of the meet came with the 440-yard freestyle. The Green had high hopes of winning this one, only to have one of the Harvards come in ahead of Dartmouth's Chuck Luker and Dick Spurgin, who took second and third places. The visitors also won the dive, with Johnny Wolfer and Bill Egan of Dartmouth in the runner-up positions. Gordie Kay and Bill McAndrew finished behind a Harvard swimmer in the dash, and the men from beside the Charles also copped the medley relay (as distinguished from the individual medley, which we won). This was a meet that might well have gone the other way.
