I, miWM Ml I fu M f 7 v Jul THE 1949 INDIVIDUAL swimming champions line up for a part ing shot. Iowa State claimed 7 top places to 4 for Oklahoma and 1 for Nebraska. Cyclones Cop Swim Title; Tankers Set Seven Marks Oklahoma University's tankers showed the rest of the confer ence that they are becoming a power to be reckoned with as they nearly pulled the upset of the year, losing out to heavily favored Iowa State by 16 points in the Big Seven swimming championships. The Cyclones garnered 88 points to 72 for Oklahoma, 31 for Nebraska, 15 for Colorado and 14 for Kansas. Don McCloskcy, sensational Sooner sophomore, won two in dividual races and swam back stroke on the winning relay team for the Sooners to share top hon ors with the Cyclone's ace dis tance man Roger Watts. BOTH THE 150-YARD back stroke and the 150-yard indi vidual medley went to the stubby Oklahoman. Then to show he had plenty left he swam a leg on their winning relay. Watts again defended his two titles in the 220 and 440-yard events and added the 1,500-meter swim to his collection. His 220 and 440 times set new confer ence records and he established a record in the longer race. Iowa State had two other rec ond breakers in Ed LeBerge and Malcolm Schmidt. LeBcrpo won the 50-yard freestyle and in the prelims he set a new pool and Big Seven records as he was timed in :23.9 SCHMIDT LED ALL the way to take the 100-yard event with a record breaking time of :54.2. This is a new conference record but does not beat the pool record of :54 flat held by Marvin Grimm. Ed Craren gathered in Ne braska's only first place ribbon as he dove to an easy victory in the high board diving event. Craren placed fourth in the low board event in Friday's competi tion. Iowa State ended Friday night's competition with a record break ing relay in the 400-yard dis tance. The Cyclones were clocked in 3:40.1, which is a new pool and Big Seven record. Earl Jones of Oklahoma picked up the last first for his team as he won the 200-yard breaststroke event in 2:34.2. Jones stayed in the second position until the last length and then turned on the steam and won going away.
