Romanoff tipped in a rebound to
send the winners out front to stay.

Kaiura was first.
The University of Oregon's next
swimming competition will be this
weekend at Pullman, Wash., loca
tion of the conference meet. Wash
ington is favored to retain its
championship title.
The battle for second should
be close, according to Borchardt,
with the Ducks and WSC fight
ing It out. Washington State
holds a slight edge because it
has more reserve strength.
“Edwards and Terada might go
undefeated in their particular
events,” predicted Borchardt, “and
Mathias is a heavy threat in the
500 and 100 yard free style sprint,”
