Columbia sprinter Homer Lane, who had been swimming in only distance events to build his endurance, entered the 100-free Saturday and beat Jim Stolen and Rhodes Scholar Eric Hanson in 51.5 to salvage a bit of glory for the Lions, who are now 0-5 and have not won in a league meet since beating Penn three years...
