After a Princeton win in the medley relay the records began to fall in the 1000 yd, free. Freshman Dick Baughman, pacing himself beautifully, upset Princeton's Curt Haydon edging him out with a spectacular winning time of 9:49.2, a new schools and pool record and the fourth fastest time in the nation this year...
...Haydon, who had been trailing Baughman for most of the later stages of the race, pulled ahead, but Baughman hung on and came back in the final lap to touch Haydon out amidst some atypical top-of-the-lungs screaming from the Harvard crowd. "Hell, I wasn't going to let him get me after I had been leading the whole race," Baughman said afterwards...
Baughman's win seemed to excite the Crimson as they went on to dominate the next two freestyle races. Fred Mitchell, saving for the 500 yd. free duel with Haydon, had to work a little harder than he had planned to win the 200 yd. free with a good time of 1:45.9. Freshman Jim Davis took third with a personal best of 1:49.8. In the 500 yd. free, Time Neville and Co-captain Paul Horvitz took 1-2, with Neville's time a good 22.1. Suddenly Harvard was 45 points ahead...
...freestyle events should be the highlight of the afternoon. Both teams have nationally ranked freestylers in Harvard's Fred Mitchell and Princeton's Curt Haydon, and a possible matchup between the two in the 500-yd. free could result in a few changes in the pool record book. Freshman Dick Baughman, who held the Harvard record in the 1000-yd. free until Mitchell broke it against Springfield, will probably face Haydon in that distance, and either could break Michell's mark of 9:53.5, but there is no telling what events the Tiger star will swim...
...very fast 9.53. In a pre-season meet, he also went under the ten minute mark, but had to wait until tonight to officially break that barrier. His time also represents the second fastest time in the nation this year, with only Princeton's Curtis Haydon posting a slightly better mark...
