Harvard began with a win in the medley relay and before Cornell woke up the Crimson had built a huge 36-7 margin going into the 1-meter dive. Hess Yntema and Rich Baughman took 1-2 in a leisurely 1000, captain Fred Mitchell came back from a free leg on the medley to win the 200-yd. free, a la Charlie Campbell, and Tim Neville set a new Harvard pool record in the 50-yd. free with a 21.5 clocking to highlight the Crimson's early surge...
Harvard is the favorite despite the fact that Cornell has some top-notch individual performers, most notably diver Larry Moore who was second in the 10-meter dive at the NCAA's at Army last year. The medley relay of both schools will be fairly close and a Cornell win here could make the contest slightly more interesting...
...Crimson's best swimmers will probably be too much for the Big Red. Captain Fred Mitchell is again favored in the 200-yd. free, Dave Brumwell should lead a Harvard sweep in the 200-yd. breastroke, while either Brumwell or Hess Yntema could take the 200-yd. individual medley easily. Tom Wolfe, the Harvard record holder, is another favorite in the 200-yd. backstroke...
Dave Brumwell, who has been living partially in Yntema's shadow after being the top individual star of the team in his freshman year, is having a great season. He came back Saturday to regain his 200-yd. individual medley crown with a very good 1:58.8, and continued to swim midseason 2:14+ 200-yd. breaststrokes he only attained at the very end of last season...
What makes Gambril's job more difficult is the versatility of Campbell, who besides being an excellent backstroker is first-rate in the individual medley and the 100-yd. and 200-yd. freestyles as well...
