Hours of prac– tice and conditioning enabled the mer– men to out-swim the three Scranton clubs and the powerful Reading tank· men. 50-man Butch Hastie, backstroke Al Yanoski, 200-man Frank Buchman, and the freestyle relay composed of Hastie, Leon Dixon, Walt Shaw, and Bi11 Pritchard qualified for the Regional swimming meet at Lancaster by placing either .first, second, or third in the Dis– trict II meet at Stroudsburg. Hastie represented Hazleton at the P. I. A. A. swimming meet at Univer– sity Park after grabbing a qualifying sixth place in his event of the regionals. We salute Coach Kushmider and his swimmers for a job well done. ....
