Every Dartmouth hope for victory was crushed when the Ulenmen took every first and second place in the next four events, finally assuring a Harvard victory with Bosworth's win in the 150-yard dorsal race in 1:40.7, his best time. The overwhelming display of power was featured by Captain Rick Cutler's 2:17.8 first in the furlong, Davey (Club) Stearns' triumph in the 50, George Dana's upset victory in the dive with 103.53 points, and Jim Curwen's a 55.6 100 free style...

So Hal must place his big guns (Bosworth plus the above-mentioned gentlemen) rather carefully to insure maximum point production...

...surprisingly slow time of 56 flat, while Vergeichik and Harvard' Powers almost swam a dead heat for second, the Lion natator getting the decision. The explanation of Curwen's slow time is that his arm was caught around a lane-marker. Bosworth's 1:43.3 in the 150-yard dorsal event was fast in view of his dubious health, Tom Finnerty barely came in ahead of Craig Moore for second...
Coach Howie Steppe's dorsal ace also won the 220 yard free style event from Navy in the fast time of 2:15. This meant that Van de Weghne did not swim in the medley relay race...
