Cooley Ace Beats Mark in 1st Race
By HARVEY BARCUS
Bill Jennison, who helped Cooley retain the Public School
League championship
last winter, was the lone record breaker in opening PSL dual swimming
meets
yesterday.
The 17-year-old senior thrashed his way to a first in the
100-yard butterfly
in 55.4 seconds as Cooley defeated Chadsey, 63-32. The time bettered
the
city mark of 57 seconds he set last year.
The Cooley ace also was on the 200-yard medley relay team
which covered
the distance in 1:54.5. The champions took eight of the 11 firsts.
Allan McDaid, of Redford, set Western pool records of 1:59.2
for the
200-yard freestyle and 4:22.6 for the 400-yard freestyle, but Western
won
the meet, 55-50, placing 1-2 in the breaststroke, backstroke and
200-yard
individual medley.
Western's Mark Manrique had a double win with firsts in the
individual
medley and 100-yard backstroke. His time of 2:19.3 set a Western medley
record.
Pete Adams, PSL record holder for the 200 and 400-yard
freestyle, was
close to the existing records while leading Pershing to a 72-37 victory
over Southeastern. The 16-year-old junior swam the 200 in 1:57.6, and
the
400 in 4:18.4.
"Pete's times were good for the first time out and he should
break his
own records by the time the season ends," predicted Coach Fred Grimshaw.
Australian-born John Savinsky gave Pershing firsts in the
individual
medley and butterfly races. Pershing led in 10 events.
Denby's dual meet champions depended on depth to beat
Mumford, 64-41,
placing first in seven events. The lone double victor was Mumford's
Dick
Golden, who led in the 100 and 200-yard freestyles.
Cass dedicated Henry Ford's new pool by sweeping all events
in an 80-26
triumph. Dick Hammond led in the butterfly and individual medley
events.
"We have a well-ballanced team but Ford has a new team and
we couldn't
tell how good we are," said Coach Don Cooper. "That will have to wait
until
we meet Eastern next week."
Eastern clipped Central, 59-43, with nine firsts. Jim Young
won the
50 and 100-yard freestyle.
Art Golin's firsts in the 200 and 400-yard freestyles stood
out as Cody
defeated Mackenzie, 63-32.
Plymouth nipped Dearborn, 57-48. Dearborn's Jay Osrowske won
the 50-yard
freestyle in 24.1 and set a Dearborn pool record of 4:15.1 in the
400-freestyle.
