Swimmers Bust Five Records

Existing marks were smashed in all four races at the start of the three-day NCAA swimming and diving championships at Yale University Pool last night. Dan Mahoney, Harvard's only hopeful in the first day's events, was eliminated in the semi-finals of the one-metre spring-board diving.

The race for team honors left Indiana in front with 33 points, and Southern California, the defending champs, and Yale tied at 28 each.

Southern Cal's 400-yard medley relay team posted a 3:30.9 for an NCAA record, while their Bob Bennett lowered the American 100-yard backstroke mark with a 53.2 leadoff leg in the same event.

Crimson's Bruce Fowler will compete in the 200-yard breaststroke today and the 100-yard Saturday. Mahoney will get a crack at the three-metre springboard then.
