...This year's freshman team may be better than last," Gambril said yesterday, and while the point is debatable, several freshmen did have outstanding Harvard debuts. Hess Yatema, whom Gambril considers the best all-round swimmer on the team, nipped Crimson captain Fred Mitchell in the 200-yd. free with a very fine 1:45.1 clocking, and he was used only sparingly...
...young and talented Harvard swimming team, its chances of finishing among the top three in the Eastern League problematical but possible, begins the second year of coach Don Gambril's much publicized rebuilding program this afternoon at 3:30 p.m. when it hosts a mediocre Navy squad...

In the back of Gambril's mind, however, are thoughts of an all-important January meet with Dartmouth, which, on the basis of a 73-40 lambasting of a powerhouse Princeton squad last week, may be the team to beat this winter.
