Elis Overwhelm Swimming Team By 65-30 Score

Winning performances from sophomore diver Bill Murphy and freestyler Bill Shrout couldn't match Yale's aquatic powerhouse, as Harvard lost its final dual meet of the season Saturday at the IAP, 65-30.

The Yale victory raised its record to 14-0 and returned the Eastern Intercollegiate Swimming League crown to New Haven, after a one-year sojourn at West Point.

Murphy's diving was the high point of the afternoon for Harvard. Mastering dives of 2.8 degree of difficulty, he easily outpointed his competitors with a 295.65 total. Junior Peter Alter finished second to give the Crimson one of its two sweeps.

The other, by Shrout and Pete Adams, in the 100-yard freestyle, was partially a gift from Yale coach Phil Moriarty, who used his bench extensively in the season's last dual meet. With the Eastern Seaboard and NCAA championships coming up. Moriarty avoided overworking his superstars by using substitutes freely.

Don Schollander nosed out Shrout in the 50-yard freestyle with a swift 22.0 clocking. He also swam a leg of the 400-yard freestyle relay, which Yale won on a come-from-behind effort by captain Doug Kennedy.

Yale's Mike Buckley set an IAB pool record of 2:15.6 in the 200-yard breast-stroke, bettering Harvard's Bob Corris's 2:16.7 standard.

Yale, which had proved its prowess in the East with a 62-33 win over undefeated Princeton last week and has its eye on national honors in the upcoming weeks, was not out to embarrass the Crimson. But Harvard's 35 points--more than Dartmouth. Army, or Princeton could score against Yale--still reflect a vast improvement over the last few meets by the Crimson squad.

The Yale freshmen, who rival the varsity and the T.V.A. in waterpower, swept every event in an 83-11 shellacking of the Crimson freshmen.

Harvard's final dual-meet record stands at 6-1, the freshmen closed at 3-7.
