Freshman sensation Bobby Hackett and junior sprinter Malcolm Cooper each copped individual victories, as Harvard racked up 111 points in the competition. Princeton stayed hot on the Crimson's trail with 95 points, followed by Army with 64 and Dartmouth and Columbia with 54 apiece...

...medley relay should go to Harvard, with Pyle, Tuomo Kerola, Cooper and Hackett swimming for the Crimson.
