Hecords Expected to Fall
In Big Seven Swim Meet
In the coming Big Seven Swimming Championships,
to be held in the Nebraska pool this Friday and Saturday,
the record which seems to be the surest to be broken is the
150-yard backstroke. Two men are already under it and
four others are right above the record time, which is 1:45.5,
set by Les Oldfield of Nebraska
in 1941. Oldfield was Nebraska's
top backstroker last year, but he
is not back this year.
RobiMit Leads
Leading the field is Doug Rob
ison of Iowa State with a time
of 1:40.1, follewed closely by his
teammate Alan Thompson, who
has a time of 1:40.4. Bob Wyant
of Iowa State is in the number
three slot with a time of 1:46.5.
Oklahoma has the next place
with Elcin Crowder swimming
the event in 1:46.6. Crowder
touched out Bill Fenton of Ne
braska in a dual meet between the
two schols. Fenton's best time is
1:48.7. He came out late in the
season and Is just beginning to
round into shape.
Breast Stroke Record May Fall
The conference record in the
200-yard breast-stroke event is
also expected to fall, two men
already having beaten the present
record of 2:33.4. Dick Nielson and
Howard Johnson, both of Iowa
State, are under the mark with
times of 2:29 0 and 2:31.8 respec
tively. The Cyclones number
three man js right above the rec
ord time with 2:35.7.
Stan Jervis of Kansas and Con
rad King of Nebraska are next
in line with times of 2:36.4 and
2:38.5 respectively. These two
should give the Cyclone number
three man a good race for the
third place position.

WASHINGTON'S
FAREWELL
ADDRESS
Here, in our First Presi
dent's own handwriting, is
part of the far-sighted
speech he delivered to
the American people 152
years ago. The spirit of
the doctrine still applies.
It calls for a firm unity
among our people . . .
emphasizing, above all,
the need for "every citi
zen to take pride in the
name of an American."
The original is now aboard
the "Freedom Train"
a traveling exhibit of
the most significant docu-i
merits in our history.
