When an ethereal beauty named Julie Haydon played the role of a prostitute in Saroyan's The Time of Your Life, most of the critics lambasted the producer for a casting blooper. Critic John Mason Brown noted that his colleagues seemed singularly omniscient in knowing precisely how a prostitute should look. The luminous and lovely Liv Ullmann is no one's image of a prostitute either. But Anna Christie is such a cheap, cosmetic come-on of a drama as to vie with any streetwalker...
...Indiana appears the favorite. Harvard's Peter Telow's 4:39+performance at the Easterns was not good enough to make the top ten and it is doubtful that he has the speed to go the couple of seconds faster he must in order to score. Princeton's Curt Haydon is a possible point-getter, but he is notorious for peaking at the Easterns and choking at the Nationals...
...free: John Kinsella of Indiana has won the event the last three years, but Olympic martyr Rick DeMont has a good shot. Tetlow lost to Haydon at the Easterns but should grab a couple of points, if he can come up with a closing kick...
...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...
Peter Tetlow had the unenviable task of trying to wrest some Eastern distance freestyle titles from the clutches of Haydon, but nevertheless became the first Harvard swimmer ever to break the 16-minute barrier in the mile, and 4:40 in the 500. Freshman Ted Fullerton cleaned up in the breastrokes, and Tim Neville used his super psych to blitz the field in the 50 free. Some great swims, some even greater times, and an even more amazing season. The fact that the Eastern title won't be Harvard's for at least another year is really the least...
