Another of Harvard's rotary-engine freshmen, Julian Mack, took a somewhat disappointing ninth in that event. Mack, who has been a steady winner for the Crimson all season, was hoping to make the finals in this two-lap, start and turn contest, the most unpredictable of events...

Crimson Coach Joe Bernal pulled a mild surprise in the medley by not swimming Hackett, who split a blazing 45.0 against Yale last weekend, in the anchor leg. A swimmer may race in all three relays and three individual events in the championships, but apparently Bernal wanted to save his premier swimmer for a later showdown...
...must-win event for Harvard if it plans to hold onto the lead is the 800-yd. freestyle relay. The fearsome foursome of Coglin, Mack, Cooper and Hackett is heavily favored (and in fact could do quite well at the NCAAs later this month); a choke here could be very costly...
Harvard, on the other hand, must rely on a relatively small number of truly amazing swimmers, such as Bobby Hackett, Malcolm Cooper, Julian Mack and Michael Coglin, to place in the top two or three in a few key events. The Crimson also has a huge advantage in the diving events, where all four of its solid competitors could make the finals in both events, and in the relays...
