Special To The Daily WEST POINT, N.Y. - Indiana University won a record tying fifth consecutive NCAA swimming and diving championship yesterday in the U.S. Academy pool. The Hoosiers nipped second place Southern California by nineteen points. This win ties the mark held previously by Michigan. Six new American records were set today making a total of 13 for the meet. In the biggest upset of the night, Princeton's Charlie Campbell set a new American record of 1:50.5 In the 200-yard backstroke, while beating Indiana's Mike Stamm and Gary Hall. John Kinsella of Indiana opened the evening's activities by winning the glowing 1650 yard freestyle. Southern Cal's Tom McBrien and Jim McConiga finished second and third, respectively. In the 100-yard freestyle, Ten- nessee's Dave Edgar just touched out USC's Frank Heckl for the win. At this point in the meet, the Trojans surged ahead of Indiana for the first time. Another new American record, whole ball of wax," was set bys Stanford's Brian Job in the 200-a yard breaststroke. His clocking oft 2:02.95 beat his former record by .4 of a second. Michigan's Stus Isaac was ninth. Going into the 100-yard butter- t fly, the battle for first place wase nip and tuck, with Southern Cale holding a slight edge. But in the fly, an incident occurred which. tarnished the entire meet proceed-i ings. Tennessee's John Trembley and Edgar, though qualified second and third, literally gave the race away by not pushing themselves at all. Volunteer coach Ray Bus- sard said he was saving both! swimmers for the 400-yard free- style relay, but as the boos rang from the rafters, the crowd and many observers felt that Tennes- see threw the race. This did not deter the fact that Mark Spitz broke his own Amer- ican record twice. In the prelim- inaries Spitz went 48.77, then in Ithe championship heet he swam an amazing 47.98.
