...first place strength (than Dartmouth) to rival ours." Gambril said Thursday," and better depth as well." The Tigers have, in Gambril's estimation, anywhere from four to six wins largely on the strength of their two stars, NCAA 200-yd. backstroke champion Charlie Camp-bell and distance freestyler Curt Haydon...
...have to count on Campbell getting at least a first and a second and swimming a leg on a relay, and Haydon for two firsts," Gambril said, "so we'll just have to put up our strongest lineup, and try to out-guess them...
Harvard, on the other hand, has some superlative swimmers of its own to counter Princeton's Campbell and Haydon. Freshman Hess Yntema, almost as versatile a performer as Campbell, appears to be a sure bet in his specialty, the 200-yd. butterfly. And unless Campbell swims the IM, Yntema should win that race as well. Sophomore breastroker Dave Brumwell will have to equal his Dartmouth time of 2:14.6 in the 200-yd. breast, but he should win the event. Sprint freestyler Tim Neville is the favorite in the 50-yd. free as well...
This contest will probably boil down to crucial encounters in the 1000-yd. and 500-yd. free where Harvard's Rich Baughman will try to make a strong comeback from his recent illness to challenge Haydon, and the 100-yd. and 200-yd. free where Crimson captain Fred Mitchell will probably face Campbell...
...free. Baughman, who is considered best at the longer distances, swam a very fast 16:16.3 to take second to Haydon at the Easterns. At the Nationals he is ranked sixth, and he could go under the 16-minute mark. If he swims well, Baughman could make the finals in this event...
