Yale's Steve Clark and Mike Austin swept the 50-yard freestyle in 21.5 for another Eastern mark, and the Bulldog medley relay team touched out Princeton to win in 3:40.7. Austin won that race for the Yalies by making up a huge deficit with a 47.0 freestyle anchor...
Even more surprising was the Crimson victory in the two-mile relay. Captain Ed Hamlin had been sick during the week, and passed up the 1000-yd, run earlier in the day. Yet Hamlin made up several yards in his anchor leg to edge Army by a few inches...

It sucked up so much water that divers working 22 ft. down elsewhere in the harbor suddenly found themselves standing chest-deep and wallowing for their lives before the onrush of a tidal wave...
