Cyclones Favored to Take
Top Honors in Swim Meet
Iowa State is favored again.
That is the old story in Big Seven
swimming. This year the Cyclones
have one of the strongest teams
in their history. One defeat mars
the record of the Iowa State crew
Michigan State, ranked about
second in the country took the
measure of the Cyclones early in
the season.
The Cyclones have accumu
lated 11 titles and two ties in the
16 years of the conference. They
have never been below second
place. Iowa State will be seeking
its eighth consecutive victory
this weekend. 1937 was the last
year they were defeated as Ne
braska won the title.
'
THE HUSKEKS have won
three titles and tied two. No
other school has ever won the
conference title. There were no
meets held during the war years
of '43 to '46.
The driving force of the Cy
clones is slender Roger Watts.
Termed the greatest middle dis
tance swimmer in the history of
the midwest, he is ranked in the
top five in the country in the
220 and 440-yard freestyle events
and in the 1,500-meter event
ONLY A JUNIOR. Watts re
cently tied the NCAA 220-yard
record and came within two
tenths of a second of breaking the
NCAA 440-yard record. He will
be seeking to win these events
in the conference for the third
time.
Two other champions are back
crowns. Sam Shiffler is champ
crowns. Sam Shhiffler is champ
in the diving, but will have a
hard go to beat out Ed Caren,
Husker sophomore. Howard John
son will be back to defend the
breaststroke title, but will re
ceive strong opposition from
teammate Ed Howes and Okla
homan Earl Jones. Jones is ai
re a d y under the conference
record.
Looking forward to next year,
Coach McGuire does not have a
graduating senior on the squad.
Finals in the meet will be split
into two days. Half the finals will
be held Friday night and th
other half Saturday afternoon.
