His time for the shorter distance was 23.5 seconds, compared to the old pool record of 23.7, and the standing ^conference record of 23.6 (both of which Green set). In the 100-yard race, Gljeen beat his old mark of 53.2 by a full 6ec- ond. / : i' Jack' Riley also placed in both events with a third in the 50 and second in the 100. The crowd was worried when he had almost a pho to-finish with Dudley Fowler ; of Texas. A&M took seven out of,ten first places, five seconds and three thirds in racking up their easy win over the Steers. Texas U. took three first places, five seconds, and four thirds. Kar- bach took the breaststroke. Tolar the diving, and the medley relay team came in ahead of the Aggies. Texas would have made things much closer of the Aggie team if two of their best men, Hill, breaststroker, and Jim McCann, star distance’ man, had come with the team. Jack Tolar, diver for the Texas team, iyas unmatchable as he piled up one of the scores recorded at, A&M. Tolar chose several difficult dives—the more (Difficult the dive, the more points the diver gets—to run up his high total and leave the others behind. Tolar also placed second in the 50 yard race. Dave Vardanian turned in a fine performance in the 440 dis tance race. After the first lap Vardanian led all the way, and j finished 20 ft. ahead of his near est opponent. Both 'Dick Lea and Jerry Fishet turned in good performances in thtj 100 yard Breaststipke as they fin! ished behind Karbach, but ahead of the other TU man, Dick White.
