NEW YORK, April 1. (U.P.) - It took George Fissler of the New York A. C. 13 years to win a national title, but he accomplished the feat with a bang last night by turning in the major upset of the A. A. U. swimming championships.
He won the 220-yard free style final against one of the most brilliant fields of young aquatic stars in the meet's history.
