Thingslooked promising at the start of the season, butinjuries and eligibility problems plagued the Pioneers,and they finished with a 2-8 season record.After all the hassles finally ended Murphy foundhimself with only three seniors on the squad.Standing out for the Pioneers was Chuck Rinkor,who set a team and pool record in the 200 yardbutterfly. Dave Verden was outstanding in the 50and 100 freestyle, and diver John Ritter was adefinite asset to the team.The year was utterly disappointing with the exceptionof the wins over Wyoming and Arizona. Acouple of new records were also set, which wasencouraging. Hopefully next year the D.U. swimteam will overcome their problems and becomethe swimming power that they have been knownto be in the past.171
