Who Won

> The University of Michigan: the National Collegiate A. A. swimming meet; for the fourth year in a row; with a total of 45 points; humbling the teams of 35 U. S. colleges and nosing out Yale, its traditional closest rival, by three points; in Yale's magnificent Payne Whitney Pool, at New Haven. Tied with its host in the halfway standings, Michigan clinched the championship in the very last event on the two-day program with a world-record-breaking 3:31 in the 400-yd. free-style relay.

> David Freeman of Pasadena, 1938 national junior tennis champion: the U. S. badminton championship; for the second successive year; smashing onetime (1937-38) Titleholder Walter Kramer of Detroit in the final, 15-4, 15-4; at Seattle. Another young Californian, Evelyn Boldrick of San Diego, won the women's singles--making California look like the future kindergarten for badminton as well as tennis.

> Indiana University: the National Collegiate A. A. basketball tournament; defeating the University of Kansas, another basketball hotbed, in the final, 60-10-42; before 10,000 rabid rooters in the Municipal Auditorium; at Kansas City. Same night, at Indianapolis, 15,000 fans saw Hammond Tech, survivors of a field of 775 high-school teams, win the Indiana State high-school championship, a sport event for which Hoosiers would not trade tickets for the World Series, the Rose Bowl or the Kentucky Derby.
