It was another day in the life of the Columbia swimming team Saturday in the IAB. But at least the Lions could leave town knowing that they had won one event before losing another league meet, 80-22, to the undefeated Crimson.
James M. Fallows '70, president of the CRIMSON, declined to make any immediate reply to the request.
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...
Harvard coach Bill Brooks, now in his 40th year of college coaching, again used most of his men in events to which they are not accustomed in the interests of equity, and standout Steve Krause did not compete at all. As a result, the times were rather unspectacular.
Jim Small, who also swam in both relays, led a sweep of the 50-free, and captain Mike Cahalan was first in the individual medley. Cahalan's 21.9 in the 50-free against Navy last month ranks second nationally this season behind Indiana's Mark Spitz's 21.7.
