...lose Harvard did, by a mere eight points, to a scrappy Princeton outfit that managed to parlay two firsts by Curt Haydon (he now has won the 500-yd. and 1650-yd. freestyles three years running), innumerable seconds and thirds (usually behind Crimson swimmers), and a couple of secret weapons into a second consecutive Eastern crown...

Although the report leads to that inescapable conclusion, none of the experts would put it that bluntly. Sirica complained, "That's what I want to know." The best Ben-Veniste could get was Bolt's concession that...
