Despite this obvious shortcoming, the swimming program at Harvard is fast gaining ground on the rest of the league, with only Princeton left to catch. The recruiting edge is now Don Gambril's, and another group of swimmers of the caliber of a Tim Neville, Hess Yntema, Dave Brumwell or Rich Baughman could give the Crimson the depth to take it all next year...
Brumwell's finish, on top of previous record setting fourths and sixths in the 200 and 400-yd. IM, was, however, over shadowed by the performance of Hess Yntema in the next race. Yntema completed an excellent meet as he became the first individual Harvard winner at the Easterns since Mike Cahalan in 1968 when he won the 200-yd. butterfly in a new Eastern and Harvard record time of 1:52.411.

Bob Meade of Cornell, who had lost to Yntema on judges decisions the two previous times they had met in championship competition, made no doubt about who had won this time as he set a new Eastern record with a 50.180 clocking...
...team of Fred Mitchell, Mike Cook, Hess Yntema, and Rich Baughman chopped a whopping twelve seconds off the old Harvard record of 7:10, with a superlative 6:58.709 performance. Cook, who had swum a very fast 1:44.6 leg on the qualifying relay in the afternoon turned in the best 200-yd. free of his career as he led the Crimson effort with an excellent...
...Crimson 400-yd. medley relay qualified third for the evening final with a new school record 3:33.421 performance, with the team of Tom Wolfe, Dave Brumwell, Hess Yntema, and Fred Mitchell dropped down to sixth in the final although it virtually equalled its time in the trial with a 3:33.8 performance...
