Tiger Coach Howie Stepp will be gunning for the initial five points of the medley relay but at the same time will try to keep his aces, Ned Parke and Al Vande Weghe out of the first event. His trio of Scammell, McClure, and Boozan versus Art Bosworth, Jack Waldron, and Lonine Stowell should provide the spectators with a genuinely rip-roaring race. Bosworth ought to be slightly faster than Scammell, McClure speedier than Waldron, and Stowell should be given a small margin over Boozan--according to past performances--and on the result may hinge the outcome of the meet...
...Francisco, Film Comedian Ned Sparks claimed a deduction of $3,000 on his 1934-35 income of $137,380. The money went for a set of false teeth. Explained his lawyer: the teeth actually cost $3,500, but Funnyman Sparks lopped off $500 because he used them outside of working hours...
Jack Waldron and Max Kraus had an easy time of it in the breastroke, walking off with a first and second in the comparatively slow 2:42.8 clocking. Another Harvard second place winner was Ed Hewitt in the 440. Ned Goldwasser, Tom Godfrey, Tom Shrewsbury, and Dave Van Vort captured the 440 relay in 3:51.1 to wind up the evening's festivities...
...three team leaders also dominate the individual records, best time and individual scoring. They hold, among them, seven of the best marks in the nine events on the league program. The individual scoring lead currently is deadlocked between Erie Cutler, Harvard captain, and Ned Parke, of Princeton. Each of these men, both free stylers, has scored 20 points on four first places in two meets. Third place is held by Harvard's Henry (Jim) Curwen, who has 18, while two Navy men, Jim Conger and Gordon Wiley, both sophomores, fellow with 17 and 16, respectively...
Princeton has Captain Al Vande Weghe, undoubtedly the second best dorsal ace in the country, but its depth in free-style events is only skin-deep. Ned Parke leads the free-style delegation and is capable of brilliant performances in the 100, 220, and 440. Sullivan and Boozan can both do a creditable century, as can Vande Weghe when he turns over on his belly. The Tiger captain is also a good 220 man when the occasion demands...
